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 cannottttttttttttttt believe this! The first show after Lost and Fringe I fall in love with gets canceled. So completely and utterly disappointed :(((
I don’t watch much tv but this series hooked me from the beginning. I’d LOVE another season!
My wife and I liked last season and watched every episode. Very disappointed that it is not returning for a 2nd season
i’m watching it every day! It’s the first serie I follow since 40 years ( i’m 40 ;-))
We are on episode 11 for the moment here in Belgium.
Please give us second season!
Problem is that it’s programmed on 11pm in the evening and so,many people are not watching tv anymore at that moment but Hostages is sooooooo good!
Please,give us second season, Laurens from Belgium
What do I think? It’s always the same ****: the series I like are cancelled. Really, I hate whoever has that on his conscience.
I’d like very much to see Hostages return for a second season, if most of the original characters return as well, most of all Duncan and Dr Ellen Sanders (If they are both able to suvive this current affair, that is). The others should return too but maybe in minor roles so there is room for new characters and a new case.
I loved the show.. Definitely should have a season 2..
I loved it! There was no question in my mind about it returning, until I looked to see when season 2 aired and discovered it was canceled. I’m very disappointed, bring it back please! Dylan can do Hostages and Stalker, he’s awesome!
loved the show. Hated to see Dylan McDermott as a “bad guy”, but was glad to see it turn around, only to have it cancelled! That sucks!
I fail to understand how this show didn’t do well… One of the best thrillers I have seen. Absolutely loved it. Very disappointed that there are no more seasons….. Please make season 2 🙁
Loved the series……please bring it back!
I LOVE this show. Have been binge watching on Netflix! I never saw it while it was on air. This is a good thriller. They should have kept it.
I am so disappointed! Loved the drana! My teens even watched it with us! I can not believe this! Bring it back! The show totally kept yoy on the edge of your seat! I hate this!
Absolutely loved it. I wish there were more seasons.
Loved the show!! Make a season 2!
I loved Hostages! I’m totally disappointed!
I really liked Hostages!! I was not the same ol same ol.
I wanted the relationships to grow more and was hoping to see it the following season. It was like watching a mini movie ea week. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!
