Syfy and Trion Worlds‘ Defiance is the series and game that takes place in a dystopian Earth that is now inhabited with seven different types of beings. The game world takes place in San Francisco, the TV series world takes place in what was St. Louis and is now Defiance.

Yesterday during the Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour, Syfy announced that the show will have a two-hour premiere on Monday, April 15 at 9/8c (and yes, the SciFiMafia.com Winter and Spring Primetime TV Schedule has been updated). The regular time will either be 9/8c or 10/9c, and – yay! – will be part of a two-hour block, paired with Warehouse 13 which will premiere the second half of its fourth season either on the 15th or the 22nd.

To celebrate, Syfy has released this nifty trailer for us to ogle:
