We got a teaser with Cariba (and an unknown new mermaid) and that is it. Because 'Rikki' returning has yet to be confirmed (just her actress as a mermaid) there are no details about whether she will be the old character coming on the show, or just the director bringing her in as a separate new character (that older fans will remember as being on the old series). If they do bring her back as Rikki (almost like a younger Mrs. Chatham in the original series) I hope they bring back Cleo too (and if they brought back Emma and Bella so they could finally meet, I will die). Only time will reveal. I am pretty excited though :)
