‘Siren’ Season 2 Premiere Spoilers: Cast Teases New Mermaids, New Mysteries

Freeform’s mermaid drama, “Siren,” returns on Thursday with Season 2, and International Business Times caught up with the show’s stars to see what kind of fun is on the way.

While the cast couldn’t reveal all of the new season’s secrets, they did tease a bit about Ben (Alex Roe), Ryn (Eline Powell) and Maddie’s (Fola Evans-Akingbola) fractured relationship with each other and having to come together when new mermaids arrive in Bristol Cove.

The “Siren” Season 2 premiere picks up only days after the events of the Season 1 finale, which saw Ryn going to live with Helen (Rena Owen), Ben and Maddie taking a break from each other and Maddie’s absent mother calling her on the phone.

“Ryn leaves, and I don’t think she actually quite understands what it is that is being such a problem, other than she does know her song is having a very bad effect on Ben,” Powell told IBT at New York Comic Con in October. “And I think she can put together that it has permeated through Ben and Maddie’s relationship, too. So, in Season 2, you will find her trying to live her life at Helen’s and what that means.”

Though Ben, Maddie and Ryn have been keeping their distance from each other, all of that changes when the new mermaids come to town. Evans-Akingbola revealed that they are “forced to have to interact again,” despite all of the personal issues they have yet to figure out.

“Why do they come to land? What do they want? Are they here for some kind of revenge on the past…or are they here because they need help?” These are the questions Roe said the trio will be trying to answer in Season 2.

While Ryn will also be helping with this new mystery, she has her own issues regarding these new mermaids to deal with.

“Ryn is no longer alone [when the mermaids come], but now she has two kinds of tribes or families...And that is a bigger challenge than I think she ever thought could happen,” Powell said. She added that it’ll be “very hard to cope with [the] Ryn who is learning about humanity and [the] Ryn who has to be there for her mermaids and be with her family.”

Put all together, these new episodes will make one “relentless, intense story” that will “be quite overwhelming” and include more details about what the mermaid world is like, according to the Belgian actress.

Fans will get to see the first part of that story when “Siren” Season 2 premieres on Thursday at 8 p.m. EST on Freeform.
