Season
Two of THE COLONY introduces viewers to a new group of volunteers with
differing backgrounds, skills and personalities, to bear witness to how
these colonists will survive and rebuild in a world without
electricity, running water, government or outside communication.
Filmed
on 10 acres of abandoned neighborhood on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana,
THE COLONY’S simulated environment had been left decimated by Hurricane
Katrina, a naturally occurring disaster zone that was slated to be
bulldozed and turned into a public park. Empty buildings, weedy streets
and the backwoods are all the colonists have to work with as they
scavenge essentials for survival from their surroundings while fending
off threats such as wild animals and malicious outsiders.
Throughout
this season, the colonists face daunting physical and emotional
challenges as they attempt to survive in a world void of all the
niceties they’ve ever known, including environmental dangers such as
disastrous weather and indigenous wildlife.
THE COLONY begins
with the volunteers facing a 72 hour isolation period to
psychologically shift their perspective from our modern world to the
end of the world. Shortly after the integration into the colony, the
threat of survival becomes imminent as hostile outsiders push them into
a physical confrontation. How do the colonists respond and will their
newfound skills be enough to protect their supplies and lives?

Oh man.. it’s so weird watching the build up for Colony Season II.. I’m excited, nervous, curious, .. all the things I felt when I was in the show.. I can’t wait to see what the show ‘fee;s’ like.. i can’t wait to see how the characters develop on screen.. and how they react to it off screen..
I remember so well the weird in between time right before our season aired.. we’d already had the crazy expereince of filuing.. and by now, we were already back into the rhythms of our lives, but we’d not yet figure out how the airing of the show would affect our lives.. For exampe.. This time last year I had no clue that the produces would choose to end the first episode wit 45 seconds of my naked bod…
what similar surprises are the new kids going to have ? how will their friendships translate to off screen (the 10 of us are still close and still exchange email every week) I wish them as much fun as we had
New kids.. are you out there ?
