CBS called Hostages a “limited series” but that didn’t mean that it couldn’t return for a second season if the ratings were strong enough. They weren’t and now, the network has officially cancelled it.
On Hostages, the lives of a prominent surgeon’s family are threatened by terrorists who want her to kill the President of the United States. The cast of this thriller includes Toni Collette, Dylan McDermott, James Naughton, Rhys Coiro, Billy Brown, Sandrine Holt, Tate Donovan, Quinn Shephard, and Mateus Ward.
The series debuted to weak ratings back in September and the numbers fell even lower in subsequent weeks. It was clear that this show was going to be cancelled, the only questions was “When?”. To their credit, CBS kept Hostages on the air for all 15 episodes.
They’ve now officially cancelled Hostages. Fortunately for the fans who stuck with it, the show was given some closure in the final episode.
What do you think? Did you like Hostages? Were you hoping for a second season? Maybe with some of the same characters or all new ones?

I don’t believe this, such a great show with low ratings. Impossible.
I’m still hoping for more with the same characters.
I watched all 15 episodes on Netflix. I loved this show. I’m not sure why it was cancelled or even had low ratings. Perhaps it was in a bad time slot? I would like to see a second season with Duncan and team doing a new project.
I have just watched season 1 and thoroughly enjoyed this show. Please let there be a further series.
Loved this show. Watched recently on Netflix and couldn’t get enough. Feel the casting was strong and the storyline was always interesting.
Disappointed we wont see what happens to Duncans character
The only reason the ratings weren’t there is because CBS ran this on Saturday night when NO ONE is at home watching television. I personally liked this show.
Please bring back Hostages, I loved season 1 and i was looking forward for season 2. Now im hurt. This is the best season ever despite the ratings. I really love it.
I loved this show, I watched, like non-stop. I am really sad that they cancelled. But if you do a season 2, i would like them to use same characters and make them do another mission. I will also like to see more of Mateus Ward.
I always yearned for the next episode but too bad the show got cancelled. would have wished to watch another season.
I hope so that they gonna lens out season 2 with the same characters!
Would have loved to see season 2, sorry it got cancelled.
Will love to see season 2 I love it the rating should have been high
It is absolutely shocking that the ratings were low…people must have simply missed it. I watched it non stop only now in 2017 and its top notch …I did not even stick to Game of Thrones as much as this one….please make a follow up….
