Emma Roberts, who starred in the original movie, will guest star as Claire Brown and also serves as an executive producer. The pilot is written by Sarah Watson, with Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum attached to direct and executive produce, and Susan Cartsonis also set as an executive producer. The story follows teen Coral’s move to a seaside town, where she unravels the truth behind her mother’s disappearance and learns her mother was a mermaid.
