SYFY RENEWS HIT SERIES "DEFIANCE," PROMISING MORE ACTION AND INTRIGUE
IN SEASON TWO
April 15 Premiere Second Largest Series in Network History
New York, NY - May 10, 2013 - Syfy has renewed its groundbreaking
series Defiance, giving a 13-episode second season order to the
critically acclaimed hit that has catapulted Syfy to the top cable
drama spot in the time period among adults 18-49, adults 25-54 and
total viewers for three consecutive Mondays. Season two of Defiance,
produced by Universal Cable Productions, will begin production in
Toronto in August for a 2014 premiere, returning as the anchor of
Syfy's Powerful Monday's block of primetime original series.
Redefining the transmedia experience, Defiance has distinguished
itself with an unprecedented partnership between Syfy and Trion
Worlds, by creating the first-ever true convergence of television and
online gaming. To date, the game has garnered more than 1 million
registered accounts while making gaming history as the first online
open world shooter to launch on three platforms simultaneously. As the
collaboration between show and game continue into a second season,
players will have the opportunity to further influence the world of
Defiance.
Kevin Murphy (Desperate Housewives, Caprica, Hellcats) resumes his
role as executive producer and showrunner. Smallville's Darren Swimmer
and Todd Slavkin return as executive producers for season two and
Michael Taylor serves as consulting producer.
"Bringing the rich world of Defiance to life has been in 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."
Set in the near future, Defiance features an exotically transformed
planet Earth, its landscapes permanently altered following the sudden
- and tumultuous - arrival of seven unique alien races. In this
somewhat unknown and unpredictable landscape, the richly diverse,
newly-formed civilization of humans and aliens must learn to co-exist
peacefully. Each week, viewers follow an immersive character drama set
in the boom-town of Defiance, which sits atop the ruins of St. Louis,
Missouri, while in the game, players will experience the new frontier
of the San Francisco Bay area.
The audience for its April 15 premiere was the second largest series
premiere in the network's history among adults 18-49, making it the
biggest in nearly nine years in that coveted demographic, based on
Live +7 Data. The premiere also delivered almost 4 million viewers
(3,834,000) and has quickly become Syfy's highest-rated original
series this year in adults 18-49, adults 25-54 and total viewers. It
has also received unprecedented attention as a transmedia event in
partnership with Trion Worlds' MMO game. Airing Mondays at 9pm,
Defiance stars Grant Bowler, Julie Benz, Stephanie Leonidas, Tony
Curran, Jaime Murray, Graham Greene and Mia Kirshner.

deluxe blah blah blah version). Even if they only have 250,000paid
customers, that would still be another $15,000,000 in secondary income
already. I have no idea if playing online costs additional money or if a
buyer of the game has online multi-player access for free, forever.

I'd like to see a few episodes of Defiance produced by the *other* Kevin
Murphy... or at least watched by the other Kevin Murphy, along with a
couple of his friends. :-)

But if the game drives more people to the TV show, the advertising
revenue could cover the costs. And they could also have ads in the game
(I guess it's hard to do product placement in a post-apocalyptic SF
game).

of companies with MMOs have been offering various flavors of
Free-to-Play (F2P).. Star Trek Online, DC Universe Online, Star Wars:
The Old Republic, Warframe (Open Beta currently), Mechwarrior Online
(Open Beta as well) and Planetside 2 are examples of this. With Star
Wars being the worse F2P scheme I've seen yet since the release of
World of Warcraft to F2P.
