Their lifeblood is no longer there.

So the question is, Whats next for Defiance?

Defiance is not the town it once was.

Like everything else in Defiance, he says, its seen better days.

Weve pulled off some of the letters, and its looking kind of pale, Geghan added.

Some of the bicycles are missing; the lights of the digba tree arent as bright as they were.

Its true everywhere I look.

The Earth Republic headquarters has burned out windows and is a shade of its former self.

But Geghan says theres hope: Season three is Defiance in distress.

So you see the buildings have been let go; theyre not in as great repair.

The plants are dying.

With air travel made safe, a pair of Omec appear on the scene.

But who are the Omec exactly?

They only came within proximity of the other Votan planets once every 76 years.

The Omec wont be the only Votan race that will get more fully explored this summer.

There is, after all, a lot more to the Votans than just the Castis and Iraths.

The Votanis Collective will be making a play!

They will eventually make it back to town under a very interesting and dangerous set of circumstances.

Itll be something that pits the Tarrs against all of our regular characters.

Season three is a tough one to judge if there is a lawkeeper at all.

Season three is very us-versus-them, and its fantastic.

Bowler paused for a moment, thinking that last statement over.

In a majority of cases.

Theres a couple of standouts there that dont follow that rule.

Instead of being hated, Irisa becomes a bit of a celebrity.

Its now known as The Great Terraforming Disaster, Murphy says.

Its never without anguish with Irisa, admits Stephanie Leonidas, who plays Irisa.

Theres always some trauma.

And of course Tommy… without giving anything away, its huge!

It was the love of her life!

So theres a lot to deal with and more in season three.

Murphy teased, however, that not everything in Irisas life is terrible in season three.

And it becomes a very big lynchpin of season three.

Bowler admits that the pain is still there between Nolan and Irisa.

Seven months have passed for Defiance, Bowler explains.

A second and a half have passed for Nolan and Irisa.

So will Nolan and Irisa ever sing Johnny Cash again?

Leonidas has some reassurances.

Nolan and Irisa spend much more time together in season three, she says.

You see a lot more of the old relationship.

It was needed really.

It actually feels like its kind of in a mature and healthy place.

Personally, I cant wait to see how they mess it up.

Fortunately, I wont have to wait long.

Defianceseason 3 begins with a two-hour premiere on Friday, June 12 at 8pm EST on Syfy.
