Eline Powell gets a sweet hug from a young fan during her appearance at The Mermaid Parade over the weekend in Coney Island, New York.
The Siren actress rode on the show’s themed float during the parade and met with fans afterwards.
Speaking with the NY Post, Eline opened up about the concept of the parade and her excitement for the rest of the new season.
“When I started Siren, I started to see more mermaid [related events]. I was like, ‘There’s a mermaid parade? We have to be part of that!’ It’s wonderful seeing the creativity.” she shared.
Eline also revealed that in season two, the cast and crew is utilizing the ocean for some underwater scenes.
“I’ve really loved Season 2 because there’s way more underwater stuff. If we jump into an ocean, it is actually jumping into an ocean,” she says.
Eline adds, “For one scene, it was November [in Vancouver, where the show films] and frost was forming on the pier and the water was just black. But a lot of the time it’s in tanks with warm water. If you’re comfortable in the water, it’s a fun freeing experience.”
She’s also pictured at Build Series on Friday (June 21).

She plays a mermaid on television, but Eline Powell might as well be a mermaid in real life too.
The Siren star opened up in a new interview, revealing that “the water is my best friend at this point.”
“Natural ocean water is really cold, but they heat up the tank sometimes, and that’s quite a nice experience,” Eline added about how she prepares for Ryn’s role in the water.
Eline also revealed that since being in the water for the series, every one of her senses has gotten better.
“That goes with the show training me and our just shooting so much, but I’ve also gotten my freediving license and my scuba-diving license, and I’m starting to notice that my eyesight is better under water and that I can hold my breath longer,” she shared. “It really feels like my body is adapting more and more … which is great, because we want to do better and better with the scenes.”
