Siren (2018)

Siren is a supernatural thriller series that brings a fresh take on mermaid mythology. Airing on Freeform, the series explores the idea of mermaids not as gentle creatures, but as fierce, predatory beings who are far more dangerous than myth would suggest.
The story begins in the coastal town of Bristol Cove, known for its legends of mermaids. The town’s peaceful facade is shattered when a mysterious young woman, Ryn (Eline Powell), arrivesโrevealing herself as a mermaid in search of her captured sister. As tensions rise between humans and mermaids, marine biologists Ben (Alex Roe) and Maddie (Fola Evans-Akingbola) are drawn into the conflict, uncovering the true, violent nature of these sea creatures.
Unlike traditional depictions of mermaids, Siren portrays them as powerful predators with primal instincts. Their siren song is both alluring and deadly, adding to their mystique.
Ryn is both dangerous and vulnerable, with Eline Powell delivering a captivating performance. The growing relationships between humans and mermaids are tense, emotional, and unpredictable.
