Is it the anti-Firefly?
It is called Defiance.

A future Earth, [where] Defiance introduces players and viewers to a world where humans and aliens live together on a planet ravaged by decades of war and transformed by alien terra-forming machines. It centers on Jeb Nolan (Bowler), the law-keeper in a bustling frontier boomtown that is one of the new world's few oasis of civility and inclusion. Nolan is a former Marine who fought in the alien conflict and suffered the loss of his wife and child in the war. The trauma transformed him into a lone wanderer in the wilds of this new and dangerous world.
This feels a little bit Firefly, but with a surlier lead and a whole heap of Farscape. We like it! The series was written and produced by Farscape's Rockne S. O'Bannon and will be directed by Scott Stewart (Priest). The show is "slated" to begin production on April 2012, and Trion Worlds has partnered with Syfy to create the MMO world.
