In 2018, Freeform released Season 1 of “Siren.” This fantastical series takes place in Bristol Cove, a fictional town located on the Washington coast. According to local legends, merfolk inhabit Bristol Cove’s waters. Residents learn that the legends are indeed true when a mermaid named Ryn (Eline Powell) begins to openly question people, in search of her kidnapped sister, Donna (Sibongile Mlambo).
As she spends time in human society, Ryn befriends marine biologists Ben (Alex Roe) and Maddie (Fola Evans-Akingbola). But this affinity doesn’t extend to all human and merfolk relationships.
Over the course of three seasons, “Siren” sees humans and merfolk clash, plot, and go to outright war. “Siren” Season 3 ends amidst the aftermath of an attack by mermaid leader Tia (Tiffany Lonsdale). It’s so intense, it promises to alter the lives of virtually all of the show’s principal characters.
But then, “Siren” was canceled. Fans were distraught, but some held out hope that a Season 4 would eventually materialize. Are their hopes justified? Maybe — but maybe not. We’re here to take a look at the evidence and ask the critical question: Will a “Siren” Season 4 ever happen?
