The occupation shall continue!

USA announced today its sci-fi series, Colony, from creators Carlton Cuse and Ryan Condal will return for a second season. 

If you have been waiting to add this gem of a series to your weekly rotation due to the fear of cancelation, you can jump on board.

Colony comes from Legendary Television and Universal Cable Prods. stars Josh Holloway and Sarah Wayne Callies and focuses on the couple and their family as they struggle to reunite their family and bring liberty back to an occupied Los Angeles.

“Carlton and Ryan have successfully delivered a story that tests the strengths and weaknesses of a society in duress, and the bonds of a family divided,” said Chris McCumber, President of USA Network.

“Colony’s performance across all platforms has been impressive, and we can’t wait to see where the story takes us.”

Co-creator Cuse is well known in the television industry, having previously created and produced Lost. He is currently an executive producer on both The Strain and Bates Motel. 

This is co-creator Condal's first series, having previously worked on a pilot that didn't make it to series with Cuse. His inspiration for Colony was the occupation of France by Nazi Germany during WWII and the juxtaposition of everyday people living life under the strain of such conditions.

Colony Season 1 Episode 4 airs tonight on USA and proves to be a game changing hour of the freshman series. 

There is no time like the present to jump on board and catch up, and you can do so right here when you watch Colony online via TV Fanatic.
