H2O: Just Add Water is a teen fantasy Australian television series that revolves around three teenage girls facing everyday teen problems with an added twist: they're mermaids with powers over water. Although it's originally an Australian show, it became quite popular in the United States before (and after) it was syndicated on Nickelodeon.
A spin-off series based off the original show, Mako: Island of Secrets premiered in July 2013.
