If you’ve been watching sci-fi series Colony on Netflix, then we’ve got a bit of bad news for you – the next series of the show will be the last one you get to see.
That’s because the axe has fallen on the Josh Holloway-topped series in the US, with the recently aired third season over there being the last.
So just why has it been canned – and when do fans over here get to see how it ends?
Here’s what we know…
When was Colony axed and why has it been cancelled?

The series, about a family in Los Angeles who fight to stay together in the face of an alien invasion and new world order, proved popular when it debuted in 2015, boasting strong viewing figures for its first two series.
However its lack of presence at San Diego Comic Con – where it has been strongly featured in recent years – was noticeable, and it’s now emerged that USA Network, which airs the show in the US, has pulled the plug.
No official reason has been given however falling viewing figures have been blamed for its demise.
While it was previously the number one scripted cable series in its Thursday night timeslot, with over two million viewers, figures for the third series had dropped to around 1.3m.
The show was also impacted by failing to score itself a California tax credit – meaning production had to relocate from LA to Vancouver, reshaping the story as a result.
Will there be another season before it ends?

Sorry folks, that’s your lot. The season three finale, which is due to air in the US on Wednesday, will round things off for good.
All of which has spawned a #savecolony hashtag as fans fight to get it back.
Thanks you
