The @PopBase post reports that actress Claire Holt disclosed (in an Instagram Q&A) that she, along with co-stars Phoebe Tonkin and Cariba Heine, attempted to secure a reboot or reunion of the popular 2000s Australian teen mermaid series H2O: Just Add Water, only for producers to decline because they believed there would be insufficient audience interest. It is trending due to strong nostalgia for the show among millennials and Gen Z (amplified by past TikTok revivals), high engagement (thousands of likes/views shortly after posting), and fans flooding replies/quotes to insist they are the audience and that the decision was a major miss.
