USA's Colony.






USA's COLONY
  • Carlton Cuse is hands-down the hardest-working showrunner right now with A&E's Bates Motel & The Returned, FX's The Strain and the Amazon drama pilot Point of Honor. Now, he's officially adding to that slate as USA has handed a pilot order to Colony (working title) which Cuse co-wrote with Ryan Condal. Legendary Television and Universal Cable Productions will produce. It is described as a naturalistic drama set in the near future in Los Angeles, which exists in a state of occupation by a force of alien intruders. Some collaborate with the authorities and benefit from the new order, while others rebel and suffer the consequences. The project will center on a family torn by opposing forces and making difficult choices as they balance staying together with surviving the struggle of the human race.
