According to Entertainment Weekly's James Hibberd, Linda Hamilton will guest-star in Defiance's upcoming second season as Rafe's estranged wife. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some details on Hamilton's role as well as some additional casting news.
New cast members include James Murray as Niles Pottinger (the new mayor), William Atherton as Viceroy Mercado (an Earth Republic official), and Anna Hopkins as Berlin (an Earth Republic soldier). Plus, we can reveal Linda Hamilton will guest star on the show as Pilar McCawley, Rafe’s (Graham Greene) estranged wife.
“Her character will simultaneously make you cry and scare the crap out of you,” Kevin Murphy teased of Hamilton’s character. While co-star Julie Benz said, “I think my response was … ‘Holy s–t. How the f–k did we get her’?”

My thoughts: For the record, I've never seen any of Linda Hamilton's work. I've only heard people mention her name every once and while. I'm also pretty sure that I've never even heard of any of the other actors that were mentioned in the original article. That being said, I've always thought that Defiance has some really great casting for the show, both in terms of the series regulars and the guest-stars that have appeared on the show, so I'm sure that Linda Hamilton, James Murray, William Atherton and Anna Hopkins will all do a great job on the show. If anyone who reads this post has never watched Defiance before, I strongly recommend checking it out, especially if you're a fan of science fiction. Defiance is a really great show. :)
