Siren Canceled by Freeform After Three Seasons

One of the top-ratings shows on Freeform has officially been sunk. Freeform has axed mermaid drama Siren after three seasons today, despite a 0.11 average that puts it ahead but one of all of their other shows in season averages. Siren premiered on Freeform in March 2018 and ran for 36 episodes over its three seasons. This move comes after renewals of two lower-rated freshman series, Motherland: Fort Salem and Everything's Gonna Be Okay and the cancellation of Party of Five. Siren dropped over 25% from season two to season three and wrapped up its run for good on May 28. It starred Eline Powell as the titular siren, along with Alex Roe, Fola Evans-Akingbola and Rena Owen. You can see the full ratings for the third and final season below.

Freeform Announces Spring and Summer Premiere Dates

Freeform Announces Spring and Summer Premiere Dates
Freeform has announced premiere dates for two new and two second-season dramas. New drama Siren and returning drama Famous in Love will premiere this spring, while the new Cloak & Dagger and returning The Bold Type will arrive in the summer. All shows will be airing in the 8:00 Eastern Time timeslot, as part of Freeform's new strategy of giving their shows movie lead-ins and lead-outs.

Both new shows will be airing on Thursday nights, which is where science fiction drama Beyond is currently beginning its second season. Mermaid drama Siren has its series premiere March 29. Then, Marvel teen drama Cloak & Dagger premieres on June 7.

Meanwhile, the second season of Famous in Love will premiere on Wednesday, April 4, which is where comedies Grown-ish and Alone Together are currently airing. The other returning drama The Bold Type will premiere on Tuesday, June 12. Family drama The Fosters currently occupies the Tuesday timeslot, and it will be followed-up by supernatural drama Shadowhunters in the spring.

These premiere dates leaves few things unknown. It is unknown when Young & Hungry will premiere, as well as when the three final episodes of The Fosters will air, and where the second half of the current Shadowhunters season will air. For the summer, we still don't know what will air on Monday, following the conclusion of reality series Fairy Tale Weddings, and on Wednesdays, following the conclusion of Famous in Love.
