'Siren' Stars Open Up About Ben, Maddie & Ryn's Relationship in Season Two

Television is about to get its’ first ever mermaid thruple in Siren‘s Ben, Maddie and Ryn.

Showrunner Emily Whitesell shared with TVLine that the series couldn’t tease what was ahead anymore.

“We teased it a lot in the first year,” she says. “It would be unfair to the audience if we just teased it forever without getting to what we’re trying to land on. We could only dance around that polyamorous relationship for so long, and we really did hold off.”

She adds, “We’re trying to address the world we live in and how we feel about other each other. People aren’t as into labels anymore, and everything doesn’t have to be defined so perfectly and be so restrictive. This is the world we live in, and it’s the way a lot of people want to live their lives.” This new romantic formation differs from the “traditional” TV love triangles “where there’s jealousy and everyone is at each other’s throats.”

Eline Powell and Fola Evans-Akingbola also talked about the trio’s relationship with IBT.

“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,” Eline shared. “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.”

Siren premieres TONIGHT, January 24th @ 8PM ET/PT on Freeform.
