Deadline says today that USA Network has handed a pilot green light to “Colony” (working title), from “Lost” alum Carlton Cuse and Hercules co-writer Ryan Condal. The project hails from Legendary Television, marking the first scripted pilot for the company, and Universal Cable Prods.
“The show 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.”
Written and executive produced by Cuse and Condal, “Colony” was featured on USA’s development slate in May.
