Last week Trion released the multi-platform massive multiplayer online video game Defiance. The highly-anticipated new television series premieres Monday on Syfy. The story will unfold on television and the game in this new cross-platform experience.

The epic series takes place in the 2046 on a transformed Earth, which has been altered after the arrival of seven alien races, collectively, the Votan. During the Pale Wars the humans and Votans defied orders, refusing to fight, and now try to coexist peacefully.

The story follows the characters of Nolan, played by Grant Bowler, and Irathient Irisa, played by Stephanie Leonidas, as they come to Defiance (previously St. Louis) and may eventually make a home there.

Though not blood, Irisa is considered a daughter to Nolan, and the two share a close bond.

Bowler and Leonidas recently talked to the digital media about Defiance and their experiences.
