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?
I am hooked on the show. I like the characters and the drama that is ayes out, in their lives, each episode.
It’s entertaining to be sure, with a bit of cosmology (a bit), theology and cultural humanism to make it meaningful…
I hope this show is renewed , this is one of the best shows ever even that the ratings are low . This show always keeps it up and it never makes you lose your interest in it . Best starts best ends , after ever season finale ive been felt so damn good and empty from inside because this world is so wonderfull that i’d actually want to live on it . Love the show so please keep it up .
PS : I love how Irisa is getting along with that baby but i dont like Alak 🙂
I love this show desperately one of the few reasons I still watch cable TV. But though I hate to admit it it looks like the show will be canceled even though this season was amazing but if the show is renewed that would be awesome
This is a good show, I don’t watch much TV, but this one has caught my attention from the beginning episoled. Canceling it would reflect on the promotion lapses on the marketing team and not the show itself.
Reasoning behind not watching TV much any longer is that most shows lack imagination and seem to try to play on other shows. Not worth my time watching such shows.
I go out of my way to watch Defiance because it is exciting, fresh, fun and new.
Would love to see another season of Defiance. The depth of characters, the dark humor, the real honest to God twists…are so rare in TV
Just figured id add by saying that i too love the show. Please renew.
I love defiance, I have been hooked since the first show. Please do not cancel this show is great.
I can’t live without this show. Unlike so many showays before, Defiance has genuinely captured my heart. I have never seen anything like it. If the show were to be canceled I would be absolutely distraught. Please keep the show going!!
I’ve liked the show since the beginning, and I’m not a huge syfy fan. It has great character development and a wide variety of it. I’d like to see it back.
Love Defiance, great ending for this season…. but I want more…more, could be a great epic drama instead of a small box set— The ending this season opens up so many possibilities
i agree with Simon. This show is great! My family & I
can’t wait to see another season. PLEASE Don’t
Cancel it!!!
Please don’t cancel Defiance!! We love this show.
Please Syfy don’t cancel defiance!!!! Like the others above I absolutely love this show!!!

I really love this show. There is humour to go with the drama
I love the show. Please don’t cancel the show.
