'Siren' season 3 may see the threesome between Ben, Maddie and Ryn come under threat as the mermaids return to their world
Freeform's 'Siren' has given us major relationship goals, almost on an unprecedented scale. Ben (Alex Roe), Maddie (Fola Evans-Akingbola) and Ryn (Eline Powell) are the famous polyamorous trio all 'Siren' fans are talking about.
Ryn, a mermaid on land, is trying to be as human as possible. However, the relationship she shares with Ben is questionable as it is not clear whether it is platonic or if she actually has feelings for Ben. Maddie, on the other hand, is the role model for Ryn to follow. She does things to Ben by watching Maddie and hence thinks it's normal.
It is this relationship that is explored in two seasons and has fans speculating what could be next in store for the trio in the upcoming season three.
As the storyline developed, Ben finds himself in a state of trance where he can't stop thinking about Ryn. He genuinely finds himself falling in love with Ryn. Meanwhile, when Maddie thinks that the two of them have something going on, she begins to get uncomfortable and makes herself distant from them.
In a normal relationship, we would think that Ryn came in between Maddie and Ben and took over their relationship. With tension mounting between the mermaids and humans, here's everything we think could happen in the upcoming season three between the trio.
Maddie could get upset with Ben and decide to move away from Bristol Cove to distance herself from the drama. The alternate is that Ben decides to leave the situation until he can wrap his head around what Ryn's song has done to him so he does not hurt Maddie's feelings.
The relationship between the three was in the backdrop of protecting the mermaids and getting them back into the water before its too late. And since Ben and Maddie are the only two people who are part of Ryn's life on Earth from the beginning, it is a given that they will be the ones working together to sort the situation out. Ben and Maddie's relationship faded out slowly as Ryn became a core part of their lives.
In season two, drama and action increased and there was an added twist. The relationship between Ryn and Ben became more intimate. It started when Ryn kissed Maddie and then kissed Ben saying that "Ben and Maddie are Love". Ryn thinks it's normal to kiss two people at the same time, as she does not know how things work in the human world. But the comforting reveal is that Ben and Maddie go along with it and don't question what happened. They become a threesome that fans adore and want more of.
Season three may look into an anticipated dispute that the leads of the show face. Ben is the kind of man who shows an immense amount of care for Ryn and Maddie, but the feelings he has for Ryn are far beyond what he has for Maddie. Eventually, jealousy and ego are sure to come in and their relationship will be in jeopardy with even the slightest things causing conflict between the three.
Ryn may have to return to her world forever leaving Ben with a broken heart as he just can't seem to get her out of his head. He longs for her song and even dreams about Ryn. Maddie may also start to get possessive over Ben as she was his first girlfriend, even before Ryn. Her ego may get in the way of their relationship and ruin it for good. Ben, Maddie and Ryn's relationship so far has been sailing smoothly, but the next season may have some serious issues that they will have to navigate.
Season three has been renewed but no release date has been announced.
