We’ve mentioned on our podcasts when Syfy’s Defiance was announced that we did not expect that a MMO and a Show releasing at the same time would work. Then we gladly ate our words when we were pleasantly surprised at the 3rd person shooter MMO and the dark Sci-fi/apocalyptic series.
News came in Syfy has renewed the series for a 3rd season, this is great news for Trion Worlds who created the MMO as they can produce new cross-over content between the game and show.
Defiance had earned over 2.7 Million views during season 2 during it’s Thursday night slot on Syfy and Showcase, and season 3 will return for a 13 episode run with Kevin Murphy (best known for his work on the short lived ABC Comedy Reaper and Desperate Housewives) as both executive producer and showrunner.
Defiance the MMO has recently went free-to-play on PC and PS3 with a Xbox 360 date to be announced.
