Siren is an American fantasy drama television series that follows Ryn Fisher (played by Eline Powell), a young siren who comes to a small coastal town looking for her abducted older sister. The series premiered on Freeform on March 29, 2018. [1] The first season included 10 episodes. [2] In May 2019, the series was renewed for a third season which premiered on April 2, 2020.

The coastal town of Bristol Cove, Washington, known for its legends of once being home to mermaids and mermen for centuries, is turned upside down when a mysterious young woman named Ryn Fisher (Eline Powell) appears and begins wreaking havoc upon the small fishing town to look for her captured older sister Donna (Sibongile Mlambo) who was abducted at the hands of the local military. Marine biologists Ben Pownall (Alex Roe) and Maddie Bishop (Fola Evans-Akingbola) work together to find out who and what drove this primal hunter of the deep sea to land.
By Season Two, more merpeople started appearing in Bristol Cove due to the pollution in the nearby waters and the sonic waves from the oil rig. Meanwhile, Pownall's paralysis is gradually being counteracted by Ryn's mermaid stem cells.
In Season Three, Ben, Maddie and Ryn contend with the mermaid Tia (Tiffany Lonsdale) who plans to coerce all merpeople tribes/colonies to join her in her fight to overthrow humanity. And Ryn's daughter, who has been carried by a surrogate, must be protected at all costs. To further escalate matters, Ted Pownall has finally acknowledged the existence of merpeople and seems to be on a dangerous path, just as his paternal great-great-great-great-grandfather Charles had.
Besides sisters Ryn and Donna, the following mermaid and mermen characters are:
When humans and merpeople secretly mated over the centuries, they produce children with a varied blend of bloodlines, from one-eighth, to one-quarter, to half of both species. In addition to Helen, the following characters are:
