Siren is a supernatural thriller series that reimagines mermaid mythology, exploring a darker, more dangerous side to these iconic sea creatures. The show is set in the coastal town of Bristol Cove, which has long been the home of legends about mermaids. The peaceful town’s reality is turned upside down when Ryn (Eline Powell), a mysterious young woman, arrives, revealing herself to be a mermaid searching for her sister, who has been captured by humans.

As Ryn’s presence stirs tensions between humans and mermaids, marine biologists Ben (Alex Roe) and Maddie (Fola Evans-Akingbola) become involved in the escalating conflict. They uncover the primal, violent nature of the mermaids and their deadly capabilities. The mermaids’ siren song, far from the enchanting allure of traditional myths, proves to be both seductive and lethal, heightening the danger they pose to those who dare to interact with them.

The series explores themes of survival, the clash of civilizations, and the untamed instincts of beings who exist outside human understanding. As the conflict deepens, Ryn must navigate her identity as both predator and protector in a world that sees her as a threat.As a TV series, Siren doesn’t have box office earnings, but it garnered significant viewership on Freeform. The show received praise for its fresh take on mermaid mythology, blending suspense and supernatural elements with strong character development. Its success led to multiple seasons, establishing it as a fan-favorite series in the supernatural genre.
