Stick around all the way until the end of this earlier trailer for Colony season 2, as it teases a silhouetted glimpse of what could be one of the alien overlords. One of the show's trademarks has been keeping the intent and appearance of the invaders completely vague while focusing on the human drama when collaboration becomes a means of survival. What will be the "new way forward" mentioned in the trailer?

Colony season 2 returns at 10pm ET on Thursday, January 12, 2017 with the aliens still in control of a near-future Los Angeles.
