Description: Set in the very near future, COLONY centers on one family’s struggle to survive and bring liberty back to the people of an occupied Los Angeles. SAG winner Josh Holloway (“Lost”) stars as former FBI agent Will Bowman and Satellite Award winner Sarah Wayne Callies (“The Walking Dead”) stars as his wife, Katie, in the series which takes place in a dangerous world of divided ideologies. While some choose to collaborate with the occupation and benefit from the new order, others rebel and suffer the consequences. After being separated from their son during the invasion, Will and Katie are willing to do whatever is necessary to be reunited with him. Thus, when the powerful Proxy Snyder (Peter Jacobson, “House”) offers Will a chance to get his son back if he will collaborate with the occupational government, Will and Katie find themselves faced with the toughest decision of their lives. They will have to go beyond whatever they thought possible, risking their lives and their relationship to protect their family. USAnetwork.com

Why Was It Cancelled? This show debuted in 2016 with decent but not spectacular numbers, but it did develop a rather loyal fan following that was active on the social networks. Its ratings dropped some in its second season and then slipped even further in its third year after it was shifted to Wednesday nights. Its fans had also become less active on the social networks, and USA ultimately decided to cancel the series. There is an effort to save the show in place, so if it gets enough support perhaps another venue might pick it up for a fourth season.
