| SIREN, NEW TV SHOW |
Mermaids in popular culture are often
shy but enchanting half-human, half-fish creatures that would risk exposing their
secret existence to save drowning sailors in a stormy sea. In mythology,
however, these aquatic beings are far from benign, and would prey on hapless seafarers
by luring them with their hypnotic song. It’s these vicious mermaids of ancient
times that are wreaking havoc not just in the water but also on land in the
newest and exciting American drama series Siren premiering Monday, 4
June at 9:45PM (8:45 PM JKT/BKK) on Blue Ant Entertainment, channel 473 on unifi
TV.
Legend has it that mermaids once
lived on what is now Bristol Cove, a quiet coastal town on the Pacific
Northwest. The town folklore would soon prove more than a fairytale with the
sudden appearance of a young woman who calls herself Ryn. The mysterious
visitor catches the eye of local marine biologist Ben Pownall, whose interest
on the strange woman arouses suspicion from fellow marine biologist, Maddie
Bishop.
Others, like deep-sea fisherman
Xander McClure, are also on a quest to uncover the truth beneath the waves,
while town eccentric Helen Hawkins seems to know more about the local legend
than what Bristol Cove has been led to believe.
Tension rises between the
denizens of land and sea as predatory mermaids seek to claim their birthright.
Belgian actress Eline Powell stars
as the mysterious Ryn, opposite British actor Alex Roe playing marine biologist
Ben Pownall. Together they unravel the secrets of Bristol Cove along with British
actressFola Evans-Akingbola as Maddie Bishop, American actor Ian Verdun as
Xander McClure, and New Zealand actress Rena Owen as the town folklorist, Helen
Hawkins.
Women’s digital media and
entertainment company Refinery29 describes Sirenas “gripping and
original,” while one of Florida’s largest newspapers, Tampa Bay Times, says
that the show is “worth the deep dive in.” The Internet’s go-to source of
entertainment news Cinema blend further applauds Powell as “a standout as Ryn.”
Meet the cast. The Town of Bristol Cove discovers a secret hidden
underwater as predatory aquatic creatures suddenly come to the surface. From
