From what JR has said so far he makes it seem the prison ship contains either the the original prisoners which may be possible due to time dilation seeing as the asteroid belt is really far from earth or the original prisoners made their penal colony into Australia in space and that these are the prisoners/criminals from the space colony that has long since become a functioning society. Either way there are some questions that need answers like how did they know the nuclear apocalypse happened, how could they know that now was the perfect time to return home, how is the ship still so highly functional and pristine when the ark was barely scraping by. But one thing is for sure they will be tough antagonists these prisoners aren't child delinquents they are hardened adult criminals who know exactly what it means to survive at any cost and if there is more of them in space they will immediately call in reinforcements or their society to earth unlike the delinquents since that is the impression I get from how JR describes them. They will also be very hard to reason with since apparently they have the mentality that earth belongs to them and them alone since they weren't expecting survivors.

Though I have the feeling they may not be the only atangonists next season since JR mentioned how the green valley is special since it still has life in it and that will play an import part in the next season. I'm guessing that might mean that people might study it in order to restore life to the rest of the world or other groups might look at the green valley as their salvation like how the mutants look at the city of light as theirs so there might be a war on who gets to live there since there isn't enough resources there to support so many people.
