News of cancellation of the sci-fi drama comes after its recently completed third, and now last season.

The network’s decision to cancel the drama thriller follows drastic declining viewership during its final season. While Colony started off with a solid premiere, it took a significant hit in ratings in season three. The show’s last season suffered a drop of 42 percent in viewers versus season two according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The series also starred Peter Jacobson, Tory Kittles, Alex Neustadter, Isabella Crovetti-Cramp and Jacob Buster. Its final episode aired June 25.

New of the cancellation comes not long after the network broke the news of the series renewal. Bravo confirmed the renewal of the series for its sophomore season mid-April, with Frances Berwick, president of NBCUniversal Cable Entertainment’s Lifestyle Networks saying at the time: “Imposters has truly resonated with our audience and critics alike with its unique brand of suspense and humor. We’re excited to see what the future holds for this unlikely band of flawed, but lovable characters that our talented creators and actors have fully brought to life.”

The series is currently in its sophomore year and will end with the episode scheduled to air next week on June 7, that will now serve as the series finale. 

The drama was one of Bravo’s few scripted originals. It was the third alongside Girlfriends Guide to Divorce, which is also set to end after its upcoming fifth season and Odd Mom Out.

Created by Adam Brooks and Paul Adelstein who also served as executive producers, it followed Maddie, a persona-shifting con artist and the “Bumblers,” a trio of her recent, heart-broken victims, Ezra, Richard, and Jules. 

The series starred Inbar Lavi, Rob Heaps, Parker Young, Marianne Rendón, Brian Benben, and Stephen Bishop.

We are also grateful for the contributions of our executive producers, John Cameron, Lauren Shuler Donner, Simon Kinberg, and Jeph Loeb with Marvel Television, as well as our outstanding cast and crew of this groundbreaking show.”

If the reboot happens, Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt are attached to reprise their roles. 

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that the NBC comedy is being pitched to different networks. While there are no takers yet, it is reported that producers Sony Pictures is working hard at selling the revival to multiple outlets, including CBS.

“It has been pitched; it is still being discussed,” CBS executive VP Thom Sherman told reporters Wednesday, following his network’s pre-upfront press briefing in New York.

There have been months of discussion about the possibility of a Mad About You revival beginning in December. NBC, the original home of the Emmy-nominated series is not taking part in the reboot. The new season, should it happen, would be set in present day and will follow Paul and Jamie in the wake of their 17-year-old daughter Mabel’s college acceptance. Yes, this means that just like Will & Grace and Roseanne the new season will completely disregard the series finale. 

In April Hunt said that she and Reiser were “talking about how to make [a revival] work and not wreck it,” adding that it would be “compelling to visit these characters 20 years into a marriage after raising an entire human being. So depending on some pieces falling into place, it could happen.”
