“Siren” (2018) is a supernatural horror-drama television series created by Eric Wald and Dean White, which aired on Freeform. The show is set in the coastal town of Bristol Cove, known for its legendary history of mermaids. The series blends elements of fantasy, horror, and drama, offering a unique take on the mermaid mythos.

The story of “Siren” centers around Ryn Fisher (played by Eline Powell), a mysterious and powerful mermaid who comes ashore in search of her missing sister. Ryn’s arrival disrupts the peaceful life of the town and raises questions about the existence of mermaids, which were once thought to be nothing more than legends. As Ryn tries to navigate human society, she forms an alliance with marine biologists Ben Pownall (Alex Roe) and Maddie Bishop (Fola Evans-Akingbola), who are fascinated by her and decide to help her.

As the series progresses, the town of Bristol Cove becomes a battleground between humans and the mermaids, with tensions escalating as more mermaids emerge from the ocean. The show explores the dark and predatory nature of these creatures, who are far from the romanticized versions often portrayed in popular culture. The series delves into themes of identity, survival, and the clash between different species.
