Showcase’s number-one program of 2013, “Defiance” returns to Canadian screens on Thursday, June 19th. Viewers can prepare for the series return by watching the five-part web series “Defiance: The Lost Ones” – picking up where season one left off, all five installments of the series are now available at showcase.ca.
The Toronto-shot series stars Grant Bowler (“True Blood”), Julie Benz (“Dexter”), Stephanie Leonidas (“Whitechapel”), Tony Curran (“Labyrinth”), Jaime Murray (“Warehouse 13”), and Canadians Graham Greene (“Winter’s Tale”) and Jesse Rath (“Being Human”).
As the story of Defiance resumes, the lives of the townspeople are in drastic turmoil. The Earth Republic has assumed control of the town, with far-reaching consequences – including a new mayor. Nolan (Bowler) traverses the badlands to find a lost Irisa (Leonidas), Amanda (Benz) has an unexpected new role in the town as she searches for Kenya and the Tarr family desperately tries to keep control of their criminal empire in the midst of dramatic changes. Joining the cast this season are James Murray (“Chaos”) as new mayor Niles Pottinger, Canadian Anna Hopkins (“Barney’s Version”) as Earth Republic soldier Jessica “Berlin” Rai and William Atherton (Die Hard) as Earth Republic official Viceroy Mercado.
Season 2 of “Defiance” premieres on Showcase June 19th at 10pm.
