Ratings for the sophomore year of the Colony TV on USA Network dropped off pretty sharply from its freshman installment, but from week to week, it remained fairly stable. While the numbers were good enough to earn it a third season, how much longer will they suffice? How will it perform in the Nielsen ratings this time out? Will Colony be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned. **Status update below.
A USA sci-fi drama, 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 by the Colony Transitional Authority, as part of a large extraterrestrial invasion. Former FBI agent Will Bowman (Holloway) and wife Katie (Callies) were raising their daughter and two sons in Los Angeles, but were separated from the younger boy during the invasion and did everything they could to get him back. The third season kicks off six months after the season two finale, with Will and Katie rebuilding their family in the world beyond the walls. They soon begin a journey during which they’ll uncover the truth behind the occupation. Once again, this family will find themselves having to choose sides.

What do you think? Do you like the Colony TV series? Should this USA Network TV show have been cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
**7/21/2018 Status Update: Colony has been cancelled by USA Network. Details here.
please have a season 4.
there needs to be a season 4!
I definitely think The Colony should have a 4th season. I love the show and enjoy watching it I always look forward to finding out what’s going to happen next. To end the TV series the way it ended on season three leaves us warning for more. Please please renew this TV Series.
I don’t know why it was canceled it was the best show on tv , I waited a long time for it to come back and now you cancelled it without a ending, it makes no sense
Outstanding show in all aspects: story, acting, originality, twists! But it looks like USA did not want this show to be successful : no advertisement, moved to the 10 PM time slot from previously 9 PM and moved to the summer time period from winter. It deserves definitely to be rescheduled on another channel
I really enjoyed Colony!!! Very disappointed that it’s cancelled. Hoping it will be resumed. We need good clean sci-fi with interesting plots and fairly limited violence.
I think that if they cancel a series, especially after the season ending cliffhanger, they should at least have to have a 1 or 2 hour special to wrap everything up and tie up loose ends and give us a little satisfaction, having been invested in the story for however long.
I’m not sure you people have any clue what’s good. Most of the crap reality TV out there may bring ratings. But its mindless crap. Colony is one of the best shows, most inspiring show that’s on TV today.

This show has the potential of becoming not only an extraordinary example of good programming but also joining the ranks of those shows that end up in conventions. Maybe you need to… Read more »
Love colony its the best show for summer
They should have made a contract with sc-fi
Go to hell usa network channel! Same thing again! Good (smart and serious) show has cancelled, when crappy ones (more stupid and typical entertainment crap) still renewed all the time. What is wrong with copropations??? Is money everything??? How about good stories? Stupid greedy capitalists! >_<
please bring back the show. you cant leave it like that the show has amazing acting, visuals, everything. we need to know what happens.
One of My favorite shows of all timesssss, Please don’t do this to me.
DO NOT CANCEL THE COLONY!!
BRING IT BACK!!!!!!
Please renew for at least one more season to wrap up the show. It is an excellent series! The plot, characters., and acting are superb. I think for the series to be able to draw an audience during the summer months is awesome in itself. Please reconsider!!
Please renew for a 4th season, things are just heating up! Please go by Hulu and dVR and other non live streaming services for ratings, us 18-40 year olds are busy!
Congratulations. You are one of the reasons the show is being cancelled. WHY? It’s the COMMERCIALS, AND PEOPLE LIKE YOU AREN’T WATCHING THEM. WHAT DO YOU THINK PAYS FOR THE SHOW? I’m glad to hear that you are busy. Enjoy the last episode. It’s people like you who ruined it for people like me, who watched the commercials.
The show had bad ratings and needed to be cancelled. Live with it. The show had pathetic ratings
