Colony Season 3 (TV Series)

Colony season 3 sees the return of Josh Holloway (Lost) and Sarah Wayne Callies (The Walking Dead) as Will and Katie Bowman respectively. Callies is no stranger to filming in Vancouver after reprising her role as Sara Tancredi in the latest season of Prison Break which filmed in the city during 2016. She was also in town during 2015 for a role in The Show (aka This is Your Death).

The USA Network sci-fi series is centred around Will, a former FBI Agent, and his wife Katie as they fight to keep their family together and survive in a world that has been taken over by aliens. In a similar vein to Wayward Pines, the community is divided by those who have chosen to go along with the occupation and those who are rebelling. The Bowman’s endgame has been to rescue their son, Bram, who they became separated from during the initial invasion. The parents are forced to make tough decisions along the way in order to guarantee their son will remain safe from the occupied forces.

There hasn’t been a great deal of reveals about what to expect for Colony season 3, but executive producers Ryan Condal and Wes Tooke mentioned a few things of note in an interview with TVLine.com during Comic-Con. Will and Katie may have left Los Angeles, but the occupation is global, spanning far beyond the city. This opens the doors to the series to go in a variety of different directions following its relocation to Vancouver. There will also be heightened alien activity including an upcoming battle.

Here’s a sizzle reel shared by the USA Network to get fans hyped for Colony season 3

Colony Season 3 Filming Locations

Thanks to @michelle_jung, we know that Colony has been prepping at the former Safeway Warehouse near 11th Avenue and 16th Street in Burnaby. The property is a popular studio-alternative for many productions filming in the area, including Prison Break during its time in the province back in 2016. The show is also prepping a set in a wooded mountainous area outside of the city. Hopefully there will be more details on that set soon.

As more locations are spotted, they’ll be added to our Current Filming Locations Page as well as our Filming Locations Archive, so check back often for updates!

Sarah Wayne Callies shared a sneak peek from day 1 of Colony season 3 with co-star Peter Jacobson, who plays Alan Snyder on the show:
