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.
Sorry everyone. It’s me, I’m a jinx. I like a show, it gets cancelled. No , don’t worry I don’t really believe I have that power but it”s true that every show I like gets cancelled (except NCIS). I hate reality shows so looks like more prime and netflix for me and no more network shows.
Looks like I can write off USA Network since you too are catering to reality TV. If I wanted reality I can talk to my own family!
I have faithfully watched Colony from the get-go. It has such an interesting storyline and still has fuel for a couple more seasons.
I really hope Netflix picks up Colony and at least gives the faithful viewers a satisfactory ending.
Should have been renewed and would have done better if it wasn’t so long between seasons. Great show, great cast!
Why are you getting rid of all the good Sci-Fi good shows and sticking us with stupid Reality TV/Game Shows/Housewives/The Idol/The Voice type shows>???? I would rather watch something I know can never happen to me and lose myself in a good story. I think it’s because the Reality stars don’t get paid as much as real actors/actresses get paid or you are just plain dumb when it comes to what we love to watch!
I really loved this show, exploring quite deep human themes. Well-written, well-acted. Very disappointed this week’s will be the last. Maybe Netflix can pick it up?
My wife and I have been ‘binge watching’ all 3 seasons of Colony. We are so disappointed that USA have cancelled season 4. It’s a great show and deserves to run another season. The story is getting very interesting and we all want to see the war between the ‘click’ and their enemies. Reconsider please USA.
I’m very disappointed that Colony was not renewed. So many sub-par shows on various networks are given a pass and renewed over and over with low ratings while a critically-praised show like Colony for some reason is given none. Where’s the trust in the fans? Build a great story and the audience will come. Have faith in your audience and have faith in your show!
Colony is a great show i wait for the new episode each week and now you cancel it. I am a 71 year old guy that likes si fi. I am still waiting for the new Dr Who series so I think i can wait for the new Colony if not from USA maybe another station will pick it up.
Totally agreed. Netflix should take it.
USA should have renewed. This is probably my favorite show, and I don’t care if it’s in LA, Seattle or Toronto. I like how the collaborators are so much like Vichy France and I love how Snyder is such a worm but so funny. PLEASE, USA, bring it back!!!
I’ll miss the show and Josh!
I love this show! I recently bought all 3 seasons, and am very diasappointed they are not going to have a 4th season.
Colony’s one of my favorite shows. Can’t believe it won’t be back! I would watch it over Walking Dead especially since WD losing leading characters & my interest. I rate Fear over WD. Also need to find the truth & see about getting Talking back on the air.
I would like for Colony to return for Season 4 my husband and I have enjoyed the show, I just didn’t like the idea that Will Bowman was going off the deep end due to son’s death. I would like for Netflix to pick up the show to at least given an ending as in closure
As Rudolph McNeill wrote: The only flaw in the show I’d like to mention negatively is that I finally wanted to see the aliens for more than a few seconds …
But otherwise? I WANT STAFFEL 4!!!
I cannot believe that the series COLONY crashed in season 3 soo. In Germany, she is VERY popular and like me have real fans who are angry that so expandable series are sold too fast!!! Whether the odds are REALLY AGREE AND EVER “EVERYTHING IS WHAT COUNTS???
It’s a hit here in Brazil as well. Unbelievable those mercenary producers won’t renew it! Shame on you! Please, Netflix, get it! Make the same the did to The Expanse!
