Birch, who was reportedly unable to return due to scheduling conflicts, appeared in the final two episodes of Colony‘s first season. Lenz, meanwhile, will recur throughout Season 2, which is slated to bow in early 2017.
Lenz’s post-One Tree Hill credits include Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Dexter and, most recently, CBS’ summer thriller American Gothic.
