According to TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich, Lee Tergesen has joined the cast of Defiance for the show's upcoming third season in a major stint. Additionally, Conrad Coates and Nichole Galicia will also be appearing in season 3. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some details on Tergesen, Coates and Galicia's roles:
Following the events of the Season 2 finale, Defiance picks back up on the eve of an impending military siege upon the titular town, which has fallen on hard times following the collapse of its mines. The citizens face further threat with the surprise arrival of the Omec, a mysterious and nearly extinct alien race of warriors marked by the decades of subjugation they imposed upon the galaxy in the years preceding the Pale Wars.
Tergesen will portray Castithan General Rahm Tak, a ruthless, arrogant leader in the Votanis Collective who sees Defiance — now free of Earth Republic oversight — a symbolic target in his pursuit of power. Rahm is a well-read, brilliant strategist who imposes his army upon the town with force.
Tergesen’s myriad prior TV credits also include Freak Show, The Americans, Longmire and Army Wives.
Coates will play T’evgin, the leader of the Omec who reluctantly carries the burden of his species’ survival on his shoulders, while Galicia has been cast as Kindzi, his fierce, beautiful and fearless daughter/second in command.

My thoughts: First off, I have to say that I'm really excited that casting news and spoilers for Defiance's third season are finally starting to be released, because I was just wondering yesterday when the producers of the show would start announcing casting news and releasing spoilers for next season. I know that some people don't like Defiance and think that it's not a very good show, but I for one really like it, even if it does have its fair share of flaws. Personally, I do think that season two was a lot better than season one though.
That being said, I'm not familiar with Lee Tergesen, Conrad Coates, or Nichole Galicia's work, so I can't comment on their acting, but I think their characters all sound very interesting, especially Tergesen's role. I'm also very excited about the fact that they are going to be introducing a new alien race in season three. That sounds like it could make things very interesting on the show, so hopefully the writers will handle that storyline development well. Honestly, season three can't come soon enough for my taste, because I've really been missing Defiance a lot lately. Maybe I'll have to watch some episodes on DVD.
