As if the plate of “Bates Motel,” “The Returned” and “The Strain” showrunner Carlton Cuse wasn’t already full enough, today comes word that he’s got another series in the works, this one for the USA Network. Read on for details!

Per Deadline, USA Network has greenlit a pilot tentatively titled “Colony,” written and executive produced by Cuse and Ryan Condal (Hercules).

The series 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 centers on a family torn by opposing forces and making difficult choices as they balance staying together with surviving the struggle of the human race.

“‘Colony’ is a gripping story that brilliantly weaves together an intense family drama in an authentic, yet unknown, world’” said USA President Chris McCumber.
