Mako Mermaids made its debut in the US, Canada, UK and Ireland on July 26, 2013 on Netflix. Australian television station TV Ten also debuted Mako: Island of Secrets on the same date. The first half of season 2 aired on February 13, 2015 on Netflix, with the second half airing on May 29 that same year. Season 3 (sometimes credited as season 4) aired a year later, on the 27th of May.

Main Characters[]

  • Lyla (Lucy Fry): Lyla was a guardian Southern mermaid of Mako Island. When one night she fails to guard Mako, Lyla and her two friends are banished from Mako and must get legs to take away Zac's powers, but Lyla develops feelings for him. She is a fiery, rebel mermaid, and is very determined and passionate. In Season 2, Lyla left with Nixie to search for a new home for the pod.
  • Nixie (Ivy Latimer): Nixie was a guardian Southern mermaid of Mako Island. When one night she fails to guard Mako, Nixie and her two friends are banished from Mako and must get legs to take away Zac's powers. Nixie is very adventurous, loves playing around, and sometimes gets in trouble because she can't stay still. In Season 2, Nixie left with Lyla to search for a new home for the pod.
  • Sirena (Amy Ruffle): Nixie was a guardian Southern mermaid of Mako Island. When one night she fails to guard Mako, Sirena and her two friends are banished from Mako and must get legs to take away Zac's powers. She is the mediator and peacekeeper between Lyla and Nixie. She's a beautiful soul and a bit naïve, which can work to her disadvantage. Sirena has a strong connection to her sister Aquata, who gave her a moon ring. In Season 2, Sirena returned to her pod, but is forced to return to Mako Island when Mimmi and Ondina go against the council's will to try and remove Zac's powers. In season 3, Sirena vacations with her sister in Hawaii.
  • Zac Blakely (Chai Hansen): Zac is 16 years old and is a typical teenage boy. He went camping on Mako Island, then fell into the Moon Pool during a full moon, which caused him to receive a tail whenever he touches water and even gave him merman powers. While trying to find answers, Zac learns the existence of a powerful artifact called the Trident and comes to believe he is destined to possess it. When Zac finds out the three mermaids lied to him about their identities, he denounces them as his enemies and vows to reek vengeance on them. Zac eventually realizes that he doesn't want to destroy them and decides to grant the girls' request to give up his powers since it hurts him to have to lie to his girlfriend. Later, his best friend betrays him, making Zac destroy the Trident which was destined to destroy mermaids. When two new mermaids arrive, Zac finds himself drawn to Mako and even shares visions of Mako with one of these mermaids. He finds a Merman Chamber and finds out that he is the only one able to unlock it, due to him being a natural born Merman of royal ancestry. He doesn't want to accept this fact, nor that he was adopted and has to accept this mermaid as his sister. But after he gets answers from his adoptive parents, he quickly accepts her and grows very fond of her. Zac eventually destroys the Trident stone, which was killing the mermaids and almost died in the process. When an Eastern mermaid arrives, Zac is desperate to learn her magic to protect the mermaids from a newly arrived Water Dragon that can deprive merpeople of their tails and powers. Zac eventually learns that this Water Dragon is his mother under a spell, and he and his sister free her.
  • Ondina (Isabel Durant): Ondina is a confident Southern mermaid from the Mako Pod. She is determined to save Mako and is prejudicial towards merman and land people. She can be reckless and wilful, and has a problem listening to anyone who doesn’t agree with her. She can also be impatient and headstrong and there are times where even her best friend has little patience for her. However, she will usually swallow her pride and admit she is wrong about something when necessary though she rarely apologizes for her occasional mistreatment towards others. Although stubborn and single-minded, Ondina is also fiercely loyal to her friends. Her loyalty to her best friend proved so strong that she supported her when she made the decision to defy their leader and stop her from hurting her newfound brother, therefore sacrificing her place in the pod to help her protect the very person who Ondina initially believed was her enemy. This was in spite of the fact that her leader had ordered her to reason with her best friend which she refuses to do since she knows how much her best friend has longed for someone to call family. Ondina has a soft side, as seen in her relationship with another merman, which forces her to rethink her prejudices against his kind.
  • Mimmi (Allie Bertram): Mimmi is a Northern mermaid immigrated to the Gold Coast where she became part of the Mako Pod. She has unusual knowledge and powers, and knows a lot of various potions and spells. Mimmi is sweet, but self-doubting and clumsy. She is extremely intelligent and always seems to be soaking up knowledge. Mimmi is very loyal to the people she cares about but can also be insecure and initially had deep feelings of sadness and loneliness due to her lack of family. When she arrives on land she immediately starts sharing visions with Zac. Her desire for a family was so strong that upon learning that she has a brother, Mimmi openly defied her leader to protect him at the cost of her place in the pod. She grows very fond of him very fast and does anything she can to protect him, including risking her own life for him multiple times. The two of them quickly develop a strong sibling bond and very good friends. She considers him one of the most important people in her life along with her best friend, even describing him as the person who she has been waiting her whole life to be with. When a Water Dragon threatens her and the pod, she is determined to find a way to destroy it, but eventually finds out that this is actually her mother under a spell, and she and her brother free her.
  • Evie McLaren (Gemma Forsyth): Evie is Zac's long-term girlfriend and feels he's hiding something when he frequently pulls away, so she tries to find out what. She initially breaks up with Zac because he won't reveal what is going on and thinks he's cheating on her. Evie eventually finds out that her boyfriend is a merman and they get back together. Evie gains a mermaid tail when trying to save her boyfriend from the two new mermaids trying to take away his powers. At first, she wants nothing more than to be human again but after a while falls in love with the mermaid world. Her courage and acceptance of her role as a mermaid leads to her initiation into the pod. Desperate to save Zac, who is going up against the Water Dragon, Evie loses her tail and powers and is deeply saddened by this but eventually accepts it and even says it feels like a weight has been lifted off her shoulders.
  • Erik (Alex Cubis): Erik is a Southern merman who moved to Mako. He befriends the mermaids and merman, but soon loses their trust. Erik shows infatuation to one of the mermaids, and they later become a couple. His obsessive curiosity with the Merman Chamber on Mako eventually leads to him almost destroying all mermaids, resulting in him losing all trust from the mermaids and leaving the Gold Coast after getting dumped by his girlfriend.
  • Weilan (Linda Ngo): Weilan is an Eastern mermaid. Skilled with self-defense and Eastern Pod magic, she was born a mermaid, but was forced to live on land after the water dragon wiped out her pod. Weilan is friendly but sassy, she's smart and can sometimes be headstrong. Weilan holds no prejudice over merman and was very excited to meet one. Weilan also has a sensitive side shown from the hard times she suffered throughout her life. She is deeply hurt over the loss of her pod, even shedding a tear about it, and is later shown to feel genuine guilt expressed through tears when she causes Evie to lose her tail.

Major Secondary Characters[]

  • Cam Mitchell (Dominic Deutscher): Cam is Zac's best friend, and a lifeguard. He knows about Zac's secret, and that Nixie, Sirena, and Lyla are mermaids. He has always been Zac's equal, but things change when Zac becomes a merman. Towards the end of Season 1, after Zac locked the Trident away, Cam convinced Nixie to help him reopen the Trident chamber and pull it out again. In episode 26, "Decision Time", it is revealed that Cam's real purpose and intent all along was to steal the Trident and become a merman so he could rule over Mako Island. Although this secret plot changed the nature of Zac and Cam's relationship, in season 2, Zac and Cam work things out. After becoming a couple with Carly, Cam comes to accept his role as a land dweller and chooses loyalty over power.
  • Rita Santos (Kerith Atkinson): Rita is the school principal, and a Southern mermaid. She has long given up life of the ocean, due to her romantic relationship with her late fiancé Harry, but when young mermaids appear in her life, she begins to find companionship with them.
  • David (Rowan Hills): David is the boy-next-door—cute, honest, matter of fact, and always happy to help. David works at his dad's café, Ocean Café and is well liked in the local community.

  • Carly Morgan (Brooke Nichole Lee): Carly is Evie's best friend and works at the Ocean Café. She attempted a romantic relationship with David, who was uninterested due to the sudden arrival of Sirena. She develops a relationship with Cam and finds out about merpeople in Season 2.

Overview[]

Season 1[]

Three mermaids: Sirena, Nixie, and Lyla, get the job to protect their magical Mako Island from landpeople during the mermaids' full moon ceremony. But during the ceremony, a normal landboy who was camping on the island with his friend, falls accidentally into the Moon Pool during a full moon and becomes a merman. The Mako pod council discovers that and they banish Sirena, Nixie and Lyla from their pod. Because the boy is now an enemy of the Mako pod, the pod must flee and Sirena, Nixie and Lyla may not follow.

The three mermaids are broken, but decide to solve the problem by taking the boy's powers away. The girls then realise that they can get legs by using Sirena's Moon Ring that she got from her sister Aquata right before she fled with the pod. On land, they meet Rita Santos, an older and wise mermaid who lives on land and helps the three mermaids finishing their mermaid school. She also helps them fix the boy, which the girls discover that his name is Zac Blakely. Sirena also likes a boy named David who works in the cafe, and she secretly falls in love with him.

Zac forms a strong, and special connection with the island, and gets a blue fish-like tail covered in scales, and amazing marine powers. He also tells his best friend Cam (short for Cameron) that he has a tail and powers. Without Zac knowing it, Cam becomes jealous. The undercover mermaids become friends with Zac because they saw him with a tail during a pool party that his girlfriend Evie McLaren organised for him(who doesn't know about Zac's powers). But they don't tell him that they are mermaids. Cam doesn't trust the undercover mermaids, and warns Zac, but Zac doesn't listen to Cam.

During season 1, Zac finds a trident, but also finds out at the same time that Sirena, Nixie and Lyla are mermaids. The three mermaids fight with Zac over the trident, but fail. He is upset that Sirena, Nixie and Lyla kept their tails a secret to him, and now believes that they want the power within the trident, so he sees them as his enemy. But Sirena, Nixie and Lyla just only want to protect Zac from the powers of the trident. Zac tells Cam what happened and Cam tells Zac that he made the right choice. And also convinces him to hide it in his locker, Rita (the principal and also a mermaid) nearly finds it in his locker.

Later in season one, Lyla gets hurt as Zac and Lyla fight over the trident. Zac is shocked and brings her to Rita's grotto(which he now knew about). The mermaids try to heal Lyla but their rings are out of energy. Zac gets the trident to charge the moon rings and the mermaids try again, with success. Now Zac sees what the trident can do and decides to put it back where he got it.

But it isn't over yet. Cam convinces Nixie with a lie to open the trident chamber and he gets the trident together with Evie(it wasn't planned that she would also come too). But Evie gets trapped in the endless ocean and Zac saves her, revealing to her that he's a merman meanwhile Cam escapes with the trident. At a full moon, Cam tries to destroy the moon pool with the trident, but fails thanks to Zac. Now the mermaids see that Zac isn't that bad at all and are grateful to him.

If you look closely at the 15 minute mark in the season's finale, you can see Gordon Freeman dying in the background.

Season 2[]

Two new mermaids named Ondina and Mimmi arrive at Rita's grotto, together with Sirena who tried to convince the mermaid council about Zac, but failed. Ondina and Mimmi are both afraid that Zac Blakely is a threat to mermaid pods everywhere. They decide to create a potion with the power of 50 moons. They lure Zac into a trap and use the potion on him when he's in the moon pool during a full moon. The potion seems to work, but then Evie suddenly appears in the moon pool and instead of affecting Zac, the potion effects Evie. The next morning Evie discovers that she now is also a mermaid, but doesn't want been involved with any of it and wants to be normal again as quick as possible. But she realises what she can do with her new form and decides to keep her tail and powers.

Erik is new in town and he discovers that Ondina is a mermaid while she thinks that Erik is a normal landboy, but he isn't, and he shows Ondina his tail too. Ondina tells this to everyone and Erik becomes friends with Zac. Together, they discover another chamber on Mako, the Merman Chamber.

But when they try to activate it, a secret is revealed. Veridia, head of the Mako council tells everyone that Zac is the son of Nerissa and that there will happen terribly things when the son of Nerissa controlls the chamber. But Nerissa is Mimmi's lost mother. Mimmi discovers that Zac is her brother, and Zac discovers that he has never been a normal landboy, but that he's born as a merman. He finds out that he's adopted and it becomes too much for him.

He pushes away the people who care about him and doesn't want to been involved with any of it. In his opinion, his whole life was a lie. He's shocked, but manages to forget about who he really is and reconnects with the people who care about him.

At the end of season 2, Erik discovers what's needed to activate the chamber: the trident stone. He manages to get it and he takes Zac's powers when Zac tries to stop him. Erik activates the chamber, but it's made in a war between mermaids and merman a thousand years ago to kill all mermaids and Erik doesn't know that. When Ondina, Mimmi and Sirena arrive to stop him, they fall unconscious on the ground. Ondina isn't doing well and Erik realises what he did. Ondina is the person who he loves and certainly doesn't want to hurt her, so he decides to shut the chamber down, but fails. Zac also tries and succeeds, but with no mercy. Zac's life energy is taken by the trident stone and he's dying. Luckily Mimmi awakes on time and puts the stone on Zac's chest, saving him. Ondina breaks up with Erik and he's never seen again.

Season 3[]

Weilan, a Chinese mermaid discovers a mysteriously blue glow in the water and releases a terrifying water dragon. Weilan flees to Mako for safety, but the dragon follows her. On the next full moon, the dragon appears near Mako. Zac, Mimmi, Ondina, Evie and Weilan warn Veridia and the pod hides in the underwater caves of Mako. Weilan tells everyone about the dragon, that is was created to destroy mermaids and their pods. Now that Zac, Mimmi, Ondina, Rita and Veridia know about the dragons destiny, they must find a way to destroy it. Moon rings don't affect the dragon, so they have to find another way.

Zac manages to learn a trick from Weilan called Turning The Tide. It's an Chinese mermaid trick to defend themselves. It's some kind of shield that will sends back anything a attacker uses on the user of the shield. Zac plans to lure the dragon inside the moon pool on a full moon and there he wants to use the trick he learned from Weilan to send the fire of the dragon back to the dragon itself to destroy it, but Evie hears about it and follows Zac to the moon pool. Zac isn't happy with Evie's presence and when the dragon arrives at the moon pool, Evie tells the dragon to leave them alone, hat seems to be a mistake. The dragon uses its fire on Evie and she loses her tail and powers.

Mimmi's moon ring goes glowing all the time and after that happens she always sees a mermaid. But who is this mermaid? Mimmi believes that it's Nerissa and that she needs Zac and Mimmi's help. But Mimmi has nothing to prove this.

Chris, a landboy who Mimmi loves, breaks up with her because he knows that Mimmi is hiding something. Mimmi swims to Mako and Zac hears about what happened. Zac goes after Mimmi and comforts her. At that moment, Mimmi's ring goes glowing again. Zac can see what Mimmi sees because of their blood connection. The mermaid appears again, but then in the moon pool. She says to Mimmi and Zac: My children. Mimmi tries to touch the mermaid but she disappears when she tries. Now, Mimmi and Zac know it for certain that their mother is still alive and that she needs help. They go to Ondina to explain what they just saw.

Veridia and the council announce their plan. On the next full moon, the council will release the full power of Mako to destroy the dragon. Meanwhile, Weilan discovers that the dragon is actually a person under the influence of a powerful spell and that it can only been broken by using a magical bracelet. Zac and Mimmi hear about this and go to Veridia to convince her not to implement their plan because the dragon could be Nerissa, but in vain. According to Veridia, they must destroy the dragon or the pod will never be safe. So they continue their plan.

Mimmi, Ondina and Weilan hear from Chris that the famous artifact diver Rikki Chadwick, a former local girl, is coming to town with all the artifacts she found on the bottom of the sea. Chris asks Mimmi and Weilan to come along together with Karl, a good friend. Ondina also decides to come too. When they arrive at the building where they can admire Rikki's articfats, the girls see a dragon bracelet and realise that it could be the bracelet they need to destroy the dragon. When Rikki is alone in a private area, they confront her and discover that she's a mermaid too. They ask Rikki if they can take the bracelet because they are threatened by the dragon. But Rikki doesn't agree and the security removes the undercover mermaids.

Weilan and Ondina return to the building but discover that Rikki is already gone. They find her in the moon pool and convince her to give them the bracelet. Mimmi puts the bracelet around her arm and she breaks the spell with the bracelet the next full moon. Zac and Mimmi are reunited with their mother and she tells them what happened. After this, Zac tells Cam, Carly and Evie what happened. Zac also decides that he will tell his adoptive parents about who he really is.

- Charter Communciations Digital Cable Listings are Wrong A Lot about listings, even episode info, Disney Channel and Mako Mermaids included.  Instead, use http://tvschedule.zap2it.com/tv/mako-mermaids/EP02104436?aid=tvschedule.

- As a non-Disney "Netflix production" it looks like there will not be a 'Disney On Demand' viewing option, which would likely be a competition to Netflix or Nickelodeon.

- It looks a lot like Disney might not even close out the entire Mako season before hitting the "delete" key... but great that they gave Mako a shot.  Hope it helps fund a follow-on series from Shiff, he's opened up the Mermaid genre like no-one ever has, and if he's here to stay, then the fans will be too, and Disney would be lucky to work with him!!!
