TV show description:
This science fiction drama takes place in the near-future, on an Earth where citizens are under military occupation by an organization known as the Colony Transitional Authority. It’s part of a large invading force of extraterrestrial origin. The unseen aliens are referred to as the Hosts and the Raps (a reference to the fierce raptor birds).
Major cities in this world are in ruin and are now surrounded by incredibly thick walls that are hundreds of feet high. Before the occupation, former US Army Ranger and FBI Special Agent Will Bowman (Josh Holloway) and his wife Katie (Sarah Wayne Callies) lived in Los Angeles with their sons Bram (Alex Neustaedter) and Charlie, and young daughter Gracie (Isabella Crovetti-Cramp).
During the invasion, the family was separated from Charlie. When the series opens in L.A., a year later, Will and Katie are fighting to find him. Having gone undercover, Will is eventually captured and identified. Los Angeles Governor Snyder (Peter Jacobson), an elite proxy with the occupational government, offers Will a chance to get his son back — if he and his family will collaborate with the occupational government.
Snyder won’t take “no” for an answer so Will and Katie find themselves faced with the toughest decision of their lives.
Episode #36 — What Goes Around
Will must make a sacrifice to protect his family. Katie races to save the refugees outside Seattle’s walls. Snyder struggles to control a Colony amidst the chaos of war. Bram and Gracie make a big decision.
First aired: July 25, 2018.

I came to LOVE this show after Season 2 and couldn’t wait for Season 3 episodes, show was nice departure from mindless zombie shows; PLEASE re-consider this cancellation!
This has to be the worse season finally I have ever seen! To invest all that time watching this show to be left like this! Not knowing what really happens… all I can say is there are serious writing issues. And where do these ratings come from? This was a great show til the finally!! Please reconsider the cancellation!!!
This is the worst ending since Lost, if USA was going to axe the show at least let them film a good ending
YES! Colony was one if the few shows that forced viewers to consider the life questions/struggles faced by the Bowman family. Although we don’t face the same occupational context they did we all die face similar challenges in the 21st century. S3 Finale clearly set the program foundation for at least another 2-3 seasons. I sure hope USA either reconsiders or another cable network picks it up.
Wow! It’s no wonder the decision was made to cancel Colony! Who rolls out a new series the first season and then take a 6-8 month break before you come back with season 2? Why? The show was never really allowed to gain momentum or a true following! Now, when it is definitely a very good show, you pull the plug on it and you plug it at one of the key moments leaving us once again wondering what’s going to happen next! USA Network, please bring it back for a true finale that ties up the loose ends and… Read more »
This show is so amazing. And the finale; they were wrong for ending like they did. The network should either have a final season or a movie to show how things worked out.
Aww man this sucks. So much left to tell, though I guess it would have cost a bit more even with see-through enemies. But damn, can we not get a few SF tales tell out? I picture cigar puffers in the boardroom…
“It’s not BSG is it?”
“No… but…”
“3 Seasons down? Can it”
Not only was it stupid to cancel Colony but to end it the way they did…awful. There wasn’t any resolution only the beginning of something. I can’t believe they did this!
USA network got some **** for brains working there, cancel such a good show.
its disrespectful to the viewers and disgraceful to the TV world.
Should not have cancelled show. Was good all they had to do was get rid of the kids and wife. And introduce. More new characters.
USA is joining my list of networks that don’t properly end the show when canceled. CBS is another network that does this. There should be some responsibility to the audience for their investment in the show.
I cannot believe you are cancelling Colony without at least giving the series some closure. To leave it hanging like this after season 3 just shows that someone in authority has doggy doo for brains.
Getting tired of watching USA shows and then getting canceled just as you get into and you ended colony with no ending we have no idea what’s going on except that wills in a pod what happened to the kids what happened to the white what happened to Bremmer you left everything hanging how stupid Just like your network
This was the first series on USA that I’ve tuned into and will surely be the last! Investing three season into the show to see it not get th closure it deserves is a disservice. Perhaps moving it from its original time frame of January to May played a role in the drop in ratings? So frustrated with how this series ended. Hope another network sees the value in this show and picks it up.
Wow. what an awful way to end a show.
