Following a change in ownership, The CW is focusing on airing inexpensive and acquired programming that will draw good ratings. The days of the network’s original superhero shows are (nearly) over. True crime series have typically performed well on other channels and are inexpensive to produce, so it’s no surprise that the smallest network is giving that kind of show a try. Will Hostage Rescue be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
A docuseries, the Hostage Rescue TV show revolves around the real-life heroes who go on high-stakes rescue missions. Lives hang in the balance for hostages that are held in captivity both in the United States and abroad. Episodes tell the real-life stories of these hostages in peril and the brave heroes who risk everything to save them.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s chances of staying on the air. The higher the ratings, the better the chances of survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available.

Note: These are the final national ratings, including all live+same day viewing and DVR playback (through 3:00 AM). Early fast affiliate ratings (estimates) are indicated with an “*”. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled.
