Tonight, season three of
Siren premieres on Freeform. The series takes place in the coastal town of Bristol Cove that is known for its legends of mermaids. There, truth is stranger than fiction when a siren (Eline Powell), Ryn, surfaces and causes all kinds of havoc while looking for her captured sister.
On the way she meets humans Ben Pownall (Alex Roe) and Maddie Bishop (Fola Evans-Akingbola) who befriend her and help to keep her safe from the military. Eventually more mermaids and mermen, many of a more predatory nature, come to the town seeking refuge and an escape from other humans.
Local deep-sea fisherman and Ben and Maddie’s friend, Xander McClure, played by Ian Verdun, eventually finds out the truth about the town when his father is killed by a siren. Ultimately Xander ends up helping Ben and Maddie protect their friend.
Verdun recently talked to SciFi Vision in an exclusive interview about working on the series and what’s to come in season three.
