The Bowmaan family is hanging it up. USA Network has cancelled the Colony TV show after three seasons. Fans have suspected a cancellation was on the way, because this year, the series does not have an official presence at San Diego Comic-Con, which is currently underway. Reportedly, episode 3.13, “What Goes Around Comes Around,” which airs Wednesday, July 25th at 10:00pm ET/PT, will serve as the Colony TV series finale.
A USA Network sci-fi drama from Carlton Cuse and Ryan J. Condal, Colony stars Josh Holloway, Sarah Wayne Callies, Tory Kittles, Peter Jacobson, and Alex Neustaedter. The story unfolds in the near-future, in a world where citizens are under military occupation, as a part of a larger extraterrestrial invasion. Former FBI agent Will Bowman (Holloway) and wife Katie (Callies) struggle to reunite and rebuild their family as they fight to uncover the truth behind the occupation.

What do you think? Are you a fan of the Colony TV series? Should USA have cancelled or renewed Colony for a fourth season? Sound off in the comments.
I really wish they would reconsider. There’s a lot more to this story to be told and there’s no way to adequately wrap it all up in one series finale that was intended to be a season finale. We’ve been watching since the beginning and I like where it looked like it was going…but now we’ll never know. I hate that this one is ending.
I agree. Wish would it continue. It is our favorite show. Thought it would run like LOST. Maybe they can reconsider.
I have watched this series from the beginning. I really enjoyed it. So sad to see it is being cancelled. I wish USA network would reconsider on this series.
I may be in the minority, but I thought this season was the best of all 3. I am surprised that the ratings were in a downward spiral.
Pretty good show. That’s too bad. It was interesting to watch Snyder flip flop between good and bad.
I’m not surprised. This season has dragged soooooo much. I’m sure the finale will be a cliffhanger. I give this a very unenthusiastic yay.
It really sucks that all the good shows are being canceled!!
No surprise it got canceled. How long did they think they could string us along without actually seeing the aliens? Just a weak show all around.
Damn…. Can’t any Sci-Fi series ever show how they end before being cancelled? Every studio should make them film the ending first! Then they can at least show how it ends and be done with it.
Well that sucks I liked that show. Never fails Start getting into a show and the network always cancels them that’s why I hate watching new series.
I love this show and I’m very disappointed it’s getting cancelled! I agree with other responses- I’m tired of good well produced and written shows getting cancelled!
Noooooo!! Any great complex show seems to get cancelled.
What a shame! Really one of best sci-fi shows for a long time.

I am sad. I liked the series. Oh well, it wasn’t a total loss. I got a free red beret out of the whole thing.
This sucks!!! I love this show and am mad that it’s being canceled. Why do all the good shows get canceled.
Because the ratings have been horrendous for the last 4 weeks(and I am very unhappy about this also.) A 0.15, 0.14, 0.13, and a 0.16 killed it. The show needed to average a 0.20 to be renewed, after averaging a 0.26 last season. I warned people about this for weeks.
So sad to hear this got cancelled. I just binged the first 2 seasons on Netflix. So I was looking forward to starting watching it in real time on USA network after I catch up on season 3 too. I was addicted to it. They should have waited longer to see if they gained more followers from people watching it on Netflix. For example Netflix has really bumped up ratings for other shows such as Shameless.
