At the conclusion of Beyond’s thrilling first season, Holden seemingly completed his mission within the Realm, allowing him and Willa to return to their lives in our world.

What if there was something sinister swimming beneath the sea’s surface? In Freeform’s new
original drama Siren, the coastal town of Bristol Cove, known for its legend of once being home to mermaids, is turned upside down when a mysterious girl (Eline Powell) appears and begins
wreaking havoc upon the quaint village. Using their resources, marine biologists Ben (Alex Roe) and
Maddie (Fola Evans-Akingbola) must work together to find out who and what drove this mermaid out
of her home, and are there more like her out there?

The panel will include the world premiere screening of the first episode and a Q&A.

Freeform Fan Activation Zone

Time: October 5 – 8
Location: Across the Javits Center on the corner of 11th and 37th.
