Colony season 2: Series renewed at USA

Colony has been renewed for a 13-episode second season, EW has learned.

The series, which stars Josh Holloway and Sarah Wayne Callies as Will and Katie Bowman, centers on a family torn by opposing forces — the Collaborators and the Resistance — who must make difficult decisions as they balance staying together with surviving the struggle of the human race, which is being occupied by an alien force known as the Hosts.

Colony, which hails from Lost and Bates Motel‘s Carlton Cuse and Hercules‘ Ryan Condal, has so far averaged 3.4 million total L3 viewers, with an addition half million that sampled the series’ pilot during the two-week pre-premiere release on various digital platforms.

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

Colony airs Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET on USA.
