Thanks for posting those!
Haha! Moonflower, the funny thing about what you said is that it's all so true! I'm looking forward to seeing how this show does... Oh! And another funny thing is that in Mystic Waters, mermaids who got changed in different places have different tails! It just makes sense...
Watched all series of H2O. In the beginnibg it was just a tail thing (I looked up everythime there was an underwater scene) but later on, i got into the characters more (even trough its just a kids show) and now I rewatched series 3 becouse I wasen't able to see it on Tv. Now for the new format, I'm quite happy to see a merman! U don't see that all day, do ya? XD Sorry guys! I'm 'HOOKED' ! :'D
@ merboy78xy I know of one movie I think is aimed at an older audience... It's called Mermaids. It was made in 2003. You can also watch it on the you of the tube. ;)
Those images look great! I love his tail, what a unique fluke shape!
So these just look like character cards, most likely screencaps from an early website or maybe a slide show/video they use to pitch the show to networks.
*SPOILER WARNING - THE BELOW CONTENT REVEALS CHARACTER INFORMATION AND PLOT POINTS OF THE TV SHOW "MAKO MERMAIDS"*
http://cs403224.vk.me/v403224823/6a64/jevfHl9gO0k.jpg
Nixie is adventurous and fun-loving to the extent that she some-times gets herself in trouble, acting before she thinks. It’s Nixie’s mischievousness that helps lead to diaster for Sirena, Nixie, and Lyla when they accidentally let Zac into the Moon Pool.
Nixie thinks both Sirena and Lyla could afford to lighten up. Since she was a hatchling, she been obsessed with land-dwellers and has spent countless hours watching them from mainland beaches. Because of this, she is more familiar than the others with the ways of humans, from fashion to ordering food in cafes. That said - her knowledge of human social rules is sometimes patchier than she would like to admit - and though Nixie throws herself into life on land, she often gets things wrong - much to the amusement of the other mermaids.

Sirena has been Nixie’s best friend since they were hatchlings. Sirena is a little naive, very trusting, can be unsure of herself at times, and is easily treated like a doormat. Where Nixie is the leader, Sirena is the follower. She is loyal almost to a fault.
She is a little clumsy and of all three mermaids, struggles with legs the most.
Sirena is initially cautious around Lyla, but quickly realizes that they all need to stick together to succeed on land. With Nixie & Lyla always at each others throats, Sirena plays the role of mediation - but often wishes she wasn’t stuck in the middle. Although she’s normally patient with them, sometimes it all gets too much and Sirena snaps - and Lyla & Nixie don’t want to be around when Sirena loses her temper!
Although the others rarely pay attention to what Sirena has to say, she can sometimes come out of left field with a streak of genius that can help them find their way out of sticky situations. As the series progresses, placid Sirena gradually earns the others mermaid’s respect as an important member of the group.

A loner and a bit of a rebel, Lyla loves her life as a mermaid and is perfectly content swimming alone all day. She has her own fun in her own way, and she isn’t used to having to rely on others - or even cooperating - so she can be a little prickly at times.
When the three mermaids decide to venture onto land to rectify their mistake, Lyla takes a mercenary approach - get legs, sort out the problem, go back to the ocean. But things don’t quite go as smoothly as planned, and Lyla has to accept that she might be on land for a while - but she doesn’t have to like it!
As a general rule, Lyla doesn’t like mingling with land-dwellers - but as the series progresses, despite her best efforts, she is drawn to Zac. She becomes Zac’s go to confidant, but conflict arises when Zac learns she hid her secret from him and means to take his powers away. Will Lyla’s feelings for Zac win out over her desire to go back to the ocean?
By series end, aloof Lyla will have learnt the importance of friendship - and after starting out as the most reluctant to go ashore, it will be Lyla who’s the most reluctant to return to the sea.

At first glance, Rita seems to be a totally normal land person. But she has a secret; she’s actually a mermaid. When she was younger, Rita swam with the pod off Mako Island. But she fell in love with a land person, Harry. She used to sneak off and get legs to spend time with him - until the pod discovered what she was up to. She became a pariah. So Rita made the decision to leave the pod and forged a life for herself with Harry amongst the land people.
Although Harry passed away, Rita has been successful on land and is now the principal of the local high school. She has survived and protected her true identity by keeping a somewhat cool and distant outer image.
Although a bit lonely sometimes, Rita has more or less adapted to her life. That is until three young mermaids turn up and ask for help. Rita is torn - she gave up her mermaid life, and she doesn't want three reckless young mermaids blowing her cover. But Rita can’t turn them away. As she becomes their mermaid mentor and guide, Rita discovers that although there are complications, the mermaids bring companionship and laughter back into her life. She might even start to enjoy the craziness!

Good looking and charming, Zac starts out as an all-round nice guy. He’s popular and sporty, always off on some adventure or another with his best mate Cam. He and Cam have a healthy and long-running rivalry - based firmly in good-hearted mateship. The rivalry fuels both boys in everything they do - and they banter constantly. But truth be told, they both win as often as they lose. They are essentially equals. That is until the Moon Pool endows Zac with amazing powers and the ability to morph into a sea creature.
When he first gets a tail, Zac experiences a range of different emotions. First he’s plain stunned, then intrigued, then bummed - after all, his new status as half-fish undeniably makes him a bit of a freak. In addition, he knows he can’t get wet in front of people without morphing - and that would be a disaster. But he soon finds out that the perks of his powers outweigh the negatives, and starts to embrace his new identity. This causes a tilt in his friendship with Cam - who is used to being Zac’s equal, and is jealous of his new abilities.
When things hit rock bottom with Cam, Lyla, Sirena, & Nixie learn of Zac’s powers and Zac finds a new support network. It’s Lyla that Zac feels most comfortable confiding in, causing problems with his girlfriend, Evie. This all changes when Zac discovers not only that Lyla is a mermaid - but that she wants to take his amazing new powers. The battle lines are drawn…

Cam is Zac’s offsider and best mate. Cam is good at most things, same as Zac - but his exuberance can put people off especially girls, with whom he is hopeless to a comedic extent. He doesn’t mind the constant rejection - it’s all a big game as far as Cam’s concerned.
When Zac is transformed, Cam is the first person he tells - and Cam’s response is to try and find a way to exploit the situation for profit. Zac refuses, not wanting to draw attention to himself. As Zac’s powers grow, Cam feels increasingly left out. He tries to make a place for himself in Zac’s new life, but mostly finds himself covering for Zac and having to lie to Zac’s girlfriend, Evie. Cam tires of being the meat in the sandwich between them, and when Zac refuses to tell the truth, Cam has had enough. But can he really abandon his best mate?

Evie is a good looking, easy going, sporty girl with a strong work ethic and plenty of ambition to get ahead in life. She has always been a battler. Nothing has ever been delivered to her on a silver plate. Whatever she’s achieved, she’s done herself.
Apart from working hard at school, she also works the small shop/dive business outlet at the Ocean Cafe. Evie stocks and sells sporty beachwear items, as well as booking the scuba diving tours and other aquatic activities that her father runs off the local beaches.
A keen triathlete she trains hard on the beach and in the water, which is how she and Zac originally met up and began dating. Both share a love of the beach and an active lifestyle, so it was inevitable that out of shared training sessions romance would blossom.
When Nixie, Sirena, & Lyla appear on the scene, Evie notices the rather odd, unusual out-of-towners - but only begins to resent their presence when Zac spends increasing amounts of time with them instead of her. Worried that her life is about to come crashing down, Evie cannot help but become suspicious, especially of Lyla. She and Zac used to have something really good going on. Is this newcomer going to mean the end of that?

David is the boy-next-door - cute, honest, matter-of-fact, and always happy to help out. David works at his Dad’s cafe business. His family own the beloved Ocean Cafe and are well liked in the local community.
There’s instant puppy-love chemistry between David and Sirena, but Sirena resists, knowing that getting involved with David would only complicate things.
David’s the sort of trustworthy, dependable guy who Sirena thinks could be entrusted with their secret. Not that she’s going to tell him. And although David might suspect something strange going on with Sirena and her friends, he minds his own business - happy just to spend time with Sirena.

when is it gonna start??? seem like we are waiting forever!!!!
OMG OMG OMG just found this!!!! yay!
sorry if it been posted , i was too happy

Frankly, I'm glad they're making it a whole new series instead of ruining H2O with it. I feckin' loved that show and I want to remember it the way it was XD It's one of the few innocent teen shows that had real heart in it and didn't have too many embarrassingly unwatchable super-kiddie cheese moments.
And now I'm so excited I may pee lol
I wonder if the girls will make an appearance? Like are the girls gonna be supporting characters or are they just not going to appear like they are off at college or something
This series is more of a redux than a spinoff. Totally different story. The original cast have all moved on to other things. Just as well, because I really think the series finale ended things perfectly.
I'm 23, and suddenly feel like a cougar.... 0.0 he's beautiful. We didn't have guys like that at my high school, and if we did, they never spoke to me, EVER.
can't wait to see it!!!
hey guys! i found this! look like the first three episodes. did somebody succeed in watching it or its a scam?

The production company has the episodes available online for a fee. And a legitimate business interest in having them. And I'm assuming with that business interest comes a non disclosure agreement and a million or so sheets of purple Australian plastic.
Hmm do you have a link?Quote:

Don't worry, teenagers in TV shows are always played by people in their 20's. I'm pretty sure that actor is older than you.Quote:

I hate those stupid complete the survey things they never work.
im beginning to think we will never see this program, theres nothing new on internet since a lot of time...
It's in the final stages, I think.
It will come out here before the end of July. It will happen. Don't panic
End of July...for Aussies, I guess?
I just heard July 27th
26th.....
Network Ten (Aussie channel) and on Netflix for the USA/Canada, England, Ireland, Scandinavia, Benelux and Latin America.
Looks like Netflix already has exclusive rights to stream this in the US and all Netflix territories.
Said to premiere on Netflix July 26. Oddly, it's not on their site yet- I expected a 'coming soon' - but I'm going to keep checking. They did only just announced the acquisition of the show a few days ago, however.
http://touch.latimes.com/#section/4/.../p2p-76435451/
It's all over the web and was also mentioned on the Mako Mermaids FB page.
seeing as where I am we're (Brisbane, Australia) 14hours ahead of New York. I may watch it and put something up if anyone is interested.
If I can watch it on Netflix, I am a happy mer :D
Purple Australian plastic? I'm assuming you are talking about the $5'er right?Quote:

Hi every mer. I'm trying to find out if the show is going to premiere on tv and if so when so I can watch it since I don't have Netflix and last time that I knew it was only going to premiere on Netflix in the USA. Please let me know here or on Facebook about what I had to say so I know if I can watch it on tv and if so when since I don't have Netflix. My name on Facebook is Rebekah Leigh if you wanna chat about the show and help me with what I had to say above. Please let me know as soon as you can. :D :)
Update on 7/18/13-Me and my boyfriend just got Netflix on 7/17/13, so now I can watch the spin off show there and not have to worry about it. As far as my mermaid outfit and look goes, I have been talking to a new tail maker who is going to be making my own h2o tail with the Oceanika merfin inside in my colors and my add on fins that I like and my top that I like and a few other things that I'm going to be wearing with them. When I can I'm going to buy all of my mer stuff from her and I'm not going to say what everything is yet since my name here hasn't changed yet but when it does and I have everything from her that is on my list I'll post something about it in a new thread some where you think it will belong and if I can I'll post pics and videos of me opening my package from her and post them on my mermaid pages. Please leave me comments on what you think of my update as soon as you can cause I would love to hear about what you think of this new mers stuff that I hopefully going to be buying as soon as I can. I hope to hear from you soon. :D :) :D :) :D :)
So this coming Friday at 4pm, I will be sitting myself down to watch the very first episode. I just saw a tv spot for it (the only tv spot I've seen for it so far).
