Josh Shannon is the 17-year-old son of Jim Shannon and Elisabeth Shannon, and the brother of Maddy Shannon and Zoe Shannon.

Josh did not want to travel to Terra Nova, but after his mother was hired as a doctor for the Tenth Pilgrimage, he had no choice but to leave with his family. Upon arriving at the settlement, he finds himself instantly drawn to the beautiful and rule-breaking Skye, who guides him through the dangerous world of Terra Nova.

Biography

Before Terra Nova

Josh was born in 2132 and grew up in Chicago. He was against the idea of going to Terra Nova, largely in part because he didn't want to leave his girlfriend, Kara, behind. He had three friends that committed suicide in 2149, and was a guitarist in a band.

At Terra Nova

Josh struggles to get used to his new life in Terra Nova shortly after his arrival there and has difficulty getting along with his father. He skips the orientation session and instead heads to the market, where he meets Skye. Skye invites Josh to join her and her friends on an "OTG" (outside the gate) trip into the jungle. Skye and her friends had been making moonshine out in the jungle and allowed Josh to both help make and try some of the homemade alcohol.

While the teens are away from their transport, their power cells are stolen by a group of Sixers. When the teens return, they demand that the Sixers return the cells, but spot a Slasher coming towards them. The lone Sixer survivor, Drake, allows them refuge in his damaged transport. The teens attempt to hold off the Slashers and contact Terra Nova for rescue.

After Tasha flees and Hunter is pulled from the vehicle by a Slasher, the remaining teens exit to save Hunter and restore power to their cruiser. Max is injured by a Slasher as he and Josh try to return the power cells to their vehicle. As the rescue party arrives, one Slasher remains and almost decapitates Josh, but is repelled by Josh's father.

Josh and Skye begin to grow closer, and after walking through the market, the colony is attacked by an unknown species of pterosaur, which Josh and his father had encountered the previous night. As the attacks increase, Josh, Skye, and Reynolds help to defend Maddy, Zoe, and the Shannon's new home from the pterosaurs that entered through building's ventilation. ("Instinct")

Josh agrees to perform an undefined future act for Mira, if she is able to bring Kara to Terra Nova. ("Bylaw")
