Last year, the second season of Defiance was way down in the ratings. How will the series perform in season three — will the numbers get better or fall lower? Will this Syfy series be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season? Stay tuned.
Defiance takes place in the year 2047 — some 30 years after various alien races arrived on Earth. The town of Defiance (what used to be St. Louis) stands as an example of how humans and aliens can live harmoniously (mostly) together. The cast includes Grant Bowler, Julie Benz, Stephanie Leonidas, Jaime Murray, Tony Curran, Graham Greene, Jesse Rath, Trenna Keating, Anna Hopkins, Nicole Munoz, Lee Tergesen, Conrad Coates, and Nichole Galicia.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

What do you think? Do you like the Defiance TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
Yes renew sends hope all can be happy and live together if we work hard enough
I think Defiance should be definitely renewed!!! Its a great tv show with a great story and interesting characters! We want season 4 of Defiance!
Please renew Defiance for another season I really love this show!
This was the best season ever! Characters mature with age. Would love to see where they go in season 4
I hope it gets a 4th season. I read the ratings for Dark Matter were not as good and they announced that was renewed? If nothing else renew for 1 last season and wrap it up but don’t just end it…:( Great show
I’m hopeful for another season. Its a great show
It should most definitely come back. It has grown and matured, and has become the highlight of my week. It needs to be advertised more, especially since so many dvr this show and others don’t know how well it’s improved. Renew Defiance.
This show is just getting off the ground, Don’t make the mistake of other shows with so much potential.
I was enjoying the show some what until they decided to openly introduce father daughter incest. Goodbye Defiance! report incest its a crime!
I’m with you on this. I thought it was off when they introduced it, but it was in the context of savage enslavers and conquerors who ate intelligent species.

Over a million for a Friday night show is good I think bring it back
This is a great show! Really hoping for a season 4.
I’m with the others. Please have a season four! It’s the best sci-fi series on TV. Thanks.
Renewed definitely, an unappreciated series that will always generate income as a box set and in reruns– definitely a keeper
I love this show. I really hope it gets renewed. It was the best season yet. Please renew.
I sincerely hope that the season finale is not the series finale! This season was fantastic and I would truly hate for this series to end!!! There writers and actors are the best I have seen in such a long time!!! Please continue the series!!! For all of us that enjoy a great story and great actors!!!
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am 60 and LOVE the show. Please let’s have season 4, please!!!!!
