Telly’s Take
The second season of Colony premiered soft and so far, it seems the ratings haven’t picked up. Still, I’m not ready to sequester this show behind an alien-built wall, and wait for it to die off. It’s about the middle of the pack where this cable channel’s TV shows are concerned. I’m not sure how this will go.
4/4/2017 update: USA has renewed Colony for a third season.
3/21/2018 update: Colony, season three, will debut on Wednesday, May 2, 2018. Details here.

What do you think? Will USA Network renew the Colony TV show for a third season? How would you feel if it cancelled this sci-fi drama series, instead?
Renew Colony!!! Awesome 2nd season!!!!!
This is the best show on TV.Must have a season 3 and beyond
Renew this season is awesome!
Must be renewed. Awesome show. Already got burned with Aftermath being cancelled.
I really like this show I hope they don’t cancel it!
Must, must, must renew! Fans love these characters and want to see their stories continue to unfold! Very engaging story!
I enjoy this show and I hope it is renewed for another season. Please don’t cancel it.
They need to start showing more of the aliens…if that’s what they are. Last few episodes have been pretty boring in my opinion and I’m a huge fan of the show. Maybe it will pick back up tonight, the visitors can’t be happy about us blowing up one of their ships!
Hope they renew The Colony. It’s a great show.
Need Colony renewed!
Want to see Colony renewed!
Awesome show. Excellent writers and talented actors. Haven’t seen anything this intriguing since ABC’s “Lost”. I can’t believe the ratings aren’t through the roof. I’m not even a sci-fi fan but the show is so good it pulls me in. Seems like the quality of a major network TV show and never disappoints. If USA cancels this one, I won’t watch that network anymore-it’s too good to be overlooked.
I agree whole heartedly. I was disappointed in season 1, but decided to give season 2 a chance. It improved way beyond my expectations. I think ratings aren’t better because alot of season 1 viewers didn’t start the 2nd season. The network needs to advertise or get across that it’s much better or almost a different show. My message to the network is “Please don’t cancel it, would be a huge mistake”
It needs to be renewed, it’s one of my favorites
Colony will be renewed. The ratings will be good enough. They just need more episodes.
They need to renew Eyewitness. That show has many fans.
