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 loved this show!!!! How dare they cancel it!!!! It was good! It was clean!!! It was really PG-13 family oriented! CBS, please bring this show back!!!! This was a great show, it was a no nonsense show, leaving the viewer in suspense, waiting for the next episode! All the actors/actresses were superb!!! Give us a SEASON TWO PLEASE!
Thank you!
I just found it and couldn’t stop watching it. Then was wondering was could happen next, what? No season2, please reconsider it is excellent and a great cast as well.
I started watching the show on Netflix last night and I haven’t stopped!!!
Please keep show I love it
This is a great show… I watched the entire season on Netflix. The acting and plot was excellent! Typical Network television cancelling a great show because of ratings. Cable TV is dying… and the cable companies know it. I bet Netflix will make a season 2 of this great show just like they did for “The Killing”. Netflix has changed the way people watch TV… who wants to sit in front of a Cable Station once a week and be interrupted by commercials. No wonder the ratings were not good… I have not subscribed to cable in over 5 years.… Read more »
I just finished watching Hostages on Netflix and am so DISAPPOINTED there will not be a season 2. This was a great show with lots of suspense and drama. Every show made me want to keep watching the next one. PLEASE reconsider and create a season 2.
Hollywood like a selfish drug dealer thinks they can come up with one thing everybody will like. don’t they remember there are different stroke for different folks and one size will never fit all comfortably? I didn’t like Hostages much at first but the plot twist and shifting motivations hooked me … .. then some jerk in a suit jerked the show .
I’ve watched two episodes and just found out there is no second season. Very, very disappointing. Great premise and great actors. The station must be in need of some attention. Bring the show back and maybe your ratings will begin to climb.
This was a great show. I WANT it to continue. Listen to all the Positive feedback CBS.
WE WANT IT BACK!!!!!
Whoever made the final decision to cancel this show should be fired on the spot. I agree that this show was not promoted enough because I never heard of it until looking through Netflix. Finding out that this was a 1 season show was very upsetting to say the least. Bring this show back before it is forgotten and I bet with the right airtime and a little promotion this show could be just as good as Homeland, if not better. If anyone at CBS gets this comment please listen and make some phone calls to these actors before someone… Read more »
CBS and other networks really need to change how they determine ratings of a show… no one I know regularly watches TV anymore. Most people I know just don’t have time or the desire to tune in to a channel at a particular time every week… nor the patience to wait for a season to watch the whole thing. We don’t subscribe to cable or dish… just have the internet. When we have time we typically surf Netflix or Amazon Prime for something to watch and give things like this a try – Hostages was excellent. Unfortunately, it is another… Read more »
I’m so disappointed ! Just about done with the show on Netflix and was really looking forward to season two …yet another show that will not reach its full potential.thanks a lot cbs!!!
Dont know why it did not do better. I thought it was great. The cast was also great. To bad.
Me and my boyfriend love this show and we were waiting for season 2 to come out and now finding out that it was cancelled really bummed us we really wanted to know what happens in season 2
I honestly don’t know why there’s not a season 2! Forget the ratings , the channel didn’t promote this series enough. It was for Netflix that I found it. This was a amazing show and I wished there were another season.
