The Colony Season 1 Episode 7
The premise remains the same — a controlled experiment that presents an extreme test of personal will and survival skills — but the location is different for a new group of volunteers in the second season of this reality series. An abandoned 10-acre neighborhood on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana — left decimated by a real-life catastrophe, Hurricane Katrina — is where the colonists face rebuilding their lives in a simulated post-apocalyptic world without electricity, running water, government or outside communication. There are, however, various threats to contend with, such as wild animals and malicious outsiders. Once again, the series features ongoing commentary and insight from experts in homeland security, engineering, psychology and the medical community, on what the future could hold after a global disaster.
