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.
