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?
Just finished watching on Netflix all I can say is AWESOME… Too bad I didn’t know when it was on regular tv so my friends and I could watch and give more ratings. They should have advertise more I had no clue it was on. Please bring a season 2… The only good show right now is Stalker and The Blacklist.
I thought the show was good BUT where would the show go from the way season 1 finished? Season 1 was overly drawn out and they left some unanswered things such as did the president get found out? What happened to the secret service guy who was aiding in killing the president? What happened to the lawyer or his loser son? Overall it was a good watch but I just don’t see where the show could go for season 2.
I just finished watching the first season and I really liked it. When I heard that there wasn’t going to be a second season I was shocked. I had gotten a friend into the show the other day and she had told me that it was really intense and she had enjoyed it herself. So we were both looking forward to the second season. TOO BAD!!
Great show, couldn’t wait for next episode, watch instead of going to sleep but was just enthralled in the whole thing. Please make more, just loved it. Up there with good wife, scandal, suits and person of interest, lol the best
Loved it. Need a Season 2. Have recommended it to all my friends. Now I am bummed that there are no more Seasons.
Enough of the cojments already! It looks like, it acts like and by any means it smells like a dead dog!!! So come on lready, no one was belivable, the entire story was unbaleavable! Yeah, there a a few in the comments that claim to like it and they think that its beleavale but if you ask them who they beleave was responseble for 9/11 they would say what this assenine govrenment says it was!!!
Was a great show!
Too long and drawn out! I feared that with all the problems going on that there would be over 100 episodes just on that one family! So please, nobody please, please please, please let the dead dog be… don’t touch it!!!
Just finished it on Netflix. Really is a good show and man it got intense! I also couldn’t stop watching. I’m surprised it didn’t do better. It’s a breath of fresh air with all the CSI and vampire shows everywhere. Are people seriously not over those? Give me a break. Better yet, give me a season 2 of Hostages.
Wow, this was fantastic! Just watched the entire first season on Netflix. They’re making a mistake by not having another season. It was too good to end. Why does this happen with all of the good shows?
The most underrated show ever! This one of the best shows I have ever seen. There should be Season#2 and Season#3!! I enjoyed every minute in this show!
Great show, should have more seasons. Probably wasn’t marketed properly, as I never even heard of it, but just finished the whole season in the past few days. Bring it back!!
No season 2????? It couldn’t stop watching this show! Lost sleep because of it and in my waking time, all I could think about was the show. It was an amazing show! There should be season 2, 3 and more!!
Great but Collet terrible as famous surgeon. Too needy and sad for a top doc. The rest of cast were good but Collette not believable.
The only beleavable actor was the president, that even includes the dog!
This show is just awesome. It totally deserves a season 2. The reason it was cancelled is because cable tv is dying as a whole. Netflix should buy the rights and produce a season 2 on its own. Great plot, great acting, great show.
I watched ALL of season 1, and enjoyed every week… I wish there was a season 2
