Colony will return with season two on January 12, and fans will see a much darker season than season one.

Ryan Condal teased about the theme of season two of the USA Network series to Yahoo. He said the following:

“Last season we showed an alien occupation in its nascent stages. Season 2 will show the darker more authoritarian view of occupation and colonization.”

Josh Holloway also spoke about the darker tone of season two of Colony with Mashable. He teased the following:

“The nature of a dictatorship gets darker as time goes on; people that are involved that are just trying to survive that dictatorship inevitably get dirty. We have suppressed or been suppressed by each other since the beginning of time — these questions posed by Colony are current and on everyone’s mind now.”

Condal also teased more about where the upcoming season will pick things up. He said:

“This otherwise strong family was blown apart by external forces. Katie is broken by the consequences of her actions and isolated from everyone she cares about including the resistance, and Will is off trying to get Charlie back home.”
