It’s average Live+3 audience stands at 3.4 million viewers.



“Carlton Cuse and Ryan Condal 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 prez Chris McCumber in a statement.

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

Bad news for the Bowman family, good news for "Colony": The occupation continues. USA Network on Tuesday renewed the Carlton Cuse/Ryan Condal-helmed sci-fi drama for a third season, TVLine has learned.

"Colony" opened Season 2 in mid-January with 926,000 total viewers and a 0.3 rating, and to date has held pretty steady in the demo, posting a 0.3 with its penultimate outing on March 30.



“When Carlton and Ryan first pitched Colony, they described it as ‘the Nazi occupation of France, with aliens.’ In a world increasingly filled with uncertainty about authoritarian regimes, Season 3 will forge an even deeper connection with our audience,” Jeff Wachtel, president, chief content officer, NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment said in a statement.

“It’s a quality show that we know will stand the test of time.”
