Freeform Axes Mermaid Series 'Siren' After Three Seasons

Freeform has decided to cancel it’s thrilling mermaid series, Siren.

The show, which starred Eline Powell and Alex Roe, will end with three seasons, Deadline reports.

The shocking news was revealed just after the season three finale debuted in May.

If you’re unfamiliar, Siren centered on Bristol Cove—a coastal town known for its legend of once being home to mermaids. When the arrival of a mysterious girl proves this folklore all too true, the battle between man and sea takes a very vicious turn as these predatory beings return to reclaim their right to the ocean.

The show also starred Fola Evans-Akingbola, Ian Verdun, and Rena Owen.

This other popular television series was also cancelled earlier in the summer, but only one season aired.

'Siren' Team Confirms New Mermaids Will Debut in Season Two

The stars of the Freeform series Siren step out together for a panel during day one of 2018 Comic-Con on Thursday (July 19) in San Diego, Calif.

Alex Roe, Eline Powell, Fola Evans-Akingbola, Ian Verdun, and Rena Owen were on hand to tease the second season of their breakout series.

During the panel, moderated by TLC‘s Chilli, the show’s EP Eric Wald teased more mermaids coming to Bristol Cove for season two.

“It will give us a chance to dig even more into the mermaid mythology,” he said (via Entertainment Weekly). “What their lives are like, what their social structures are like… We’re really interested in the smaller moments, too — like does a mermaid know how to laugh or know what laughter is?”

FYI: Eline is wearing an Antonio Marras dress. Fola is wearing an AllSaints ​jacket and skirt.
