What’s This TV Show About?
A USA Network 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 larger 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 pulled out all the stops 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.
Season Three Ratings
The third season of Colony averaged a 0.16 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 665,000 viewers. Compared to season two, that’s down by 37% and 18%, respectively. Check out how Colony stacks up against other USA Network TV shows.
On July 21, 2018, Colony was cancelled. Could it return someday? Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will Colony cancel or renew Colony for season four? The ratings are way down once again. USA could renew it (they’ve renewed lower-rated shows) but I suspect that Colony is expensive so it will be cancelled instead. For now, I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free Colony cancellation or renewal alerts.

What do you think? Did you hope the Colony TV show would be renewed for season four? How do you feel now that USA Network has cancelled this TV series, instead?
Colony is a great show. Fans who have been faithfully watching this show leading up to this event. USA Network is a paid cable channel. Many people have cancelled cable tv because of the increasing costs. If USA wont renew the show then they need to have a episode that leaves the fans with a ending.
The show is so good, exciting. Please keep it on!
The show must go on!!!! Please!!!! In movie terms, the show is just now reaching the climax.
To stop now would truly be a tragedy. If ratings are truly the issue here, season 4 will no doubt address and correct the situation. Again, please do not stop now. Thank you!
This show is one of the best shows to get lost in. The acting and story twist and turns are amazing. I really do not understand how this series would not be picked up by a much smarter entity since USA does not want it. Hey NETFLIX, here is your chance.
With the Expanse, Colony is the only sci-fi show out there worth its salt. The producers of this show had finally brought us to the battlefield against the demonios (the enemy of the hosts) and then they just quit on the show and its fans? Seriously? That’s not only lame, it’s also lacking in vision, because at the end of season 3 is where the story actually ought to really start! Its where the writers get to espouse the sci-fi aspects everyone was awaiting. In the stead of scrapping it, invest more into it and allow for a formidable show… Read more »
Please let Colony live on!! It’s a great show and now, finally we are getting to see and understand the aliens and their agenda.

Thank you

Bring it back. It was a great show.
Please bring back Colony it is one of my favourite shows!!!
Bad move! Jerks!
This is one of my favorite shows! I couldn’t wait for season 4 and now I find out it’s cancelled. 🙁
Bring Colony back for season 4! I loved that it was different than other shows. Survival. Family. I lost the show after season 1. Caught up on season 2 this year when I finally found it again. (Rewatched season 1 while I was at it) I looked forward every week for it. Now it is cancelled
Please bring Colony back!
Don’t leave us hanging! That sucks. I hope they bring it back.
Please Please Please USA Don’t cancel Colony. WE NEED AN ENDING. PLEASE DON’T LEAVE US HANGING.
I hate colony season 4 is cancelled! It was an awesome show. Do you not realize ratings can go down depending on day of week and time it is aired? Is replaced by yet another reality show? I’m so tired of good and interesting shows being cancelled! I watch TV to escape reality and colony fit the bill!
That is crazy how they destroyed something so good. I bet if it was about sex and drugs it would still have been on. I love this show because it thought a lot about survival. They producers needs to do more advertising the show.
