H2O: Mermaid Adventures is a reboot of H2O: Just Add Water in animated form. It deviates from the live action show, such as their ability to talk to the sea creatures, and Gold Coast is renamed Dolphin City. Unlike the live action show this version has no plot correlations to the original aside from the mermaids gaining their powers, and is more episodic in format rather than a recurring story line. It also is aimed towards kids not teenagers. The first half aired on Netflix on May 22nd, 2015, and the second half airing on July 15 of the same year. Netflix however separated the two halves as separate seasons, much like Mako: Island of Secrets, Season 2.
Overview[]
Plot[]
H2O: Mermaid Adventures is a combination of comedy, friendship and adventures, both on land in Dolphin City and in a marvelous and magical undersea world. The brand-new animated series is taking the original concept of the world-hit live-action series to a whole new level. While exploring the mysterious Island of Mako, three quite ordinary teenage girls fall under a spell that changes their lives. From now on, whenever water splashes any one of them, they are transformed into mermaids! Endless situations and missions draw the three friends into the incredible underwater world where they make new friends: Bernie the Hermit Crab, Zita the inquisitive Eel, Teddy the Turtle, Sue the mystical Manta Ray and Carlotta the Jellyfish – and have endless fun and wonderful, enchanting adventures under the sea.
