Syfy has confirmed that Defiance has been confirmed for a second season just four episodes into its first season. Kevin Murphy (Desperate Housewives, Caprica, Hellcats) will continue as executive producer and showrunner, while Darren Swimmer and Todd Slavkin (Smallville) return as executive producers for season two and Michael Taylor serves as consulting producer.
“Bringing the rich world of Defiance to life has been an incredible team effort. We couldn’t ask for better partners than Kevin Murphy, his amazing cast and crew, and Trion Worlds,” said Mark Stern, President of Original Content for Syfy and Co-Head of Original Content for UCP. “We can’t wait to see where they take us in the second season.”
The premiere of the show was Syfy’s second highest rated in its history with nearly 4 million viewers and the show has become Syfy’s highest-rated original series this year in adults 18-49, adults 25-54 and total viewers. The Defiance game has seen more than 1 million registered accounts.
