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?
Loved this show, and I have been waiting and wondering what happened to it. I agree with other viewers; why do you start these teasers, and then snatch them away as soon as they get going? Bring it back, it was entertaining.
Hostages was a good show but…i kept asking myself how many episodes does it take to kill a u.s. president. #baffled
This was a very compelling show. I really liked it. I was hoping it would continue. A whole new hostage situation could be made up for each season. Too bad the ratings were low.
I loved it! I wish they would quit bringing shows out and cancelling them all the time, it really PISSES ME OFF!
My daughter and I loved this show hate that another good show got cancelled
I enjoyed the show. Wish they had another season
My husband and I loved that show! Yes it was up against The Blacklist which we Love too…but in todays world there is DVR where people are able to watch both. I really wish they would consider bringing it back. It was just as intense as The Blacklist. I think maybe if it wasn’t on the same night and time as The Blacklist it would have done alot better so maybe they should consider a different evening then.
I loved the show I wish it wasn’t cancel
The show was decent, and certainly had enough potential to give a second season a chance.
Really enjoyed this show & I’m very disappointed to learn I’ve watched my last episode!! I think most all roles were well played & strong enough to carry the minor plots along w/the very major plot!! I think it had a nice blend of action, family drama, ingenuity and even romance. Hope another network (e.g. USA, TNT) pick it up!!
I LOVED THE SHOW!!!!!!!!! I WISH IT DIDNT GET CANCELLED
I think what cbs is doing is wrong people do watch it they just record it on there dvr and watch it later that’s why the ratings are low don.t be dumb give it one more try
Aw a bit gutted about there being no season 2, I think the ending of the first season left it open for a possible second season too
Unfortunately I didn’t see this show getting picked up for a 2nd season after the Season 1 finale ending where Duncan turned himself in but, I guess it would’ve been interesting to see them carry out the story line with Arthur in season 2
i loved this show and i think it could have gone further if given the chance. as exciting and suspenseful as it was, i don’t understnad why the ratings were so low. it aired at the same time that the blacklist did but although i like that show also i thought hostages was better. what a bummer!
