\t\t\t\t\t\t It’s about 2 am and I’m hanging out with Max at his place in Brooklyn. Great to see him and his wonderful friends.\u00a0\u00a0 Long day getting down here.. then a wonderful dinner with Ruchir , Rashi and their kids.. <\/p>\n

It’s too late to write much tonight.. but I do want to share with folks that toady Discovery Channel officially announced the second Seasnn of the Colony. It’ll be on July 27th. I was a technical consultant during the seasons planning.. and I can’t wait to see how it all came out. They had a great group\u00a0 of colonists this time.. different folks, different skills. I think it’s going to be awesome. Here’s the press release <\/p>\n

http:\/\/press.discovery.com\/us\/dsc\/programs\/colony\/<\/a><\/p>\n

What would you do in the wake of a global catastrophe?\u00a0 Even if you<\/p>\n

survived it, could you survive the aftermath?\u00a0 Discovery Channel puts<\/p>\n

these questions to the test in THE COLONY<\/b>, returning Tuesdays at 10PM ET\/PT beginning July 27<\/b> for an all-new season filled with high stakes, incredible emotion and extraordinary challenges.\u00a0 THE COLONY<\/b><\/p>\n

is not a competition, but a controlled experiment that places ordinary<\/p>\n

people from all walks of life in a simulated post-catastrophic<\/p>\n

environment and pushes them to their limits, in an ultimate test of<\/p>\n

personal will and survival skills.<\/i><\/div>\n

Season two of THE COLONY<\/b> introduces viewers to a<\/p>\n

new group of volunteers with differing backgrounds, skills and<\/p>\n

personalities, to bear witness to how these colonists will survive and<\/p>\n

rebuild in a world without electricity, running water, government or<\/p>\n

outside communication. \u00a0Over the course of 10 episodes, the colonists –<\/p>\n

who include a construction foreman, teacher, carpenter and auto<\/p>\n

mechanic – must work to utilize and strengthen their exploration,<\/p>\n

technology and survival skills in ways they’ve never had to before.\u00a0 THE COLONY<\/b><\/p>\n

features on-going commentary and input from experts in homeland<\/p>\n

security, engineering, psychology and the medical community, with<\/p>\n

expertise and insight into what the future could look like after a<\/p>\n

biological disaster.\u00a0<\/i><\/div>\n

Filmed on 10 acres of abandoned neighborhood on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana, THE COLONY’S<\/b><\/p>\n

simulated environment had been left decimated by Hurricane Katrina, a<\/p>\n

naturally occurring disaster zone that was slated to be bulldozed and<\/p>\n

turned into a public park.\u00a0 Empty buildings, weedy streets and the<\/p>\n

backwoods are all the colonists have to work with as they scavenge<\/p>\n

essentials for survival from their surroundings while fending off<\/p>\n

threats such as wild animals and malicious outsiders.\u00a0 Throughout this<\/p>\n

season, the colonists face daunting physical and emotional challenges<\/p>\n

as they attempt to survive in a world void of all the niceties they’ve<\/p>\n

ever known, including environmental dangers such as disastrous weather<\/p>\n

and indigenous wildlife.<\/i><\/div>\n

THE COLONY<\/b> begins with the volunteers facing a 72<\/p>\n

hour isolation period to psychologically shift their perspective from<\/p>\n

our modern world to the end of the world.\u00a0 Shortly after the<\/p>\n

integration into the colony, the threat of survival becomes imminent as<\/p>\n

hostile outsiders push them into a physical confrontation.\u00a0 How do the<\/p>\n

colonists respond and will their newfound skills be enough to protect<\/p>\n

their supplies and lives?<\/i><\/div>\n

THE COLONY<\/b> was created and produced for Discovery<\/p>\n

Channel by Original Productions, a FremantleMedia Company.\u00a0 For<\/p>\n

Original Productions, executive producers are Thom Beers and Philip D.<\/p>\n

Segal; co-executive producers are Jeff Conroy and Jarrod Harlow.\u00a0 For<\/p>\n

Discovery Channel, Chris Rantamaki is executive producer.<\/i><\/div>\n
