VIDEO: 'Defiance' Season 2 Promises Sexy Aliens, Linda Hamilton

The first trailer for Season 2 of Syfy’s action-drama Defiance is packed with enticing stuff. You know, the usual sexy aliens, futuristic action, and chilling visual imagery.

This season promises not only all of the above, but also several new cast members, such as James Murray (Coronation Street) as Defiance's new mayor, Niles Pottinger; William Atherton (Lost) as Earth Republic official Viceroy Mercado; Anna Hopkins (Nikita) as Earth Republic soldier Berlin; and Linda Hamilton as Pilar McCawley, the estranged wife of Rafe (Graham Greene). Hamilton is the biggest addition to the cast, as she's something of a sci-fi legend just from her role as Sarah Connor in the first two Terminator movies alone. Defiance Season 2 doesn't premiere until June 19 at 8:00 PM on Syfy, but you can check out the first full trailer below via Entertainment Weekly:
