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?
