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?
No!!!!!! I loved Hostages!
Very disappointed that Hostages not returning. Faithfully watch all eposides then no closure. It was far fetched but so are a lot of the other shows (Under the Dome).
Very disappointed! I was looking forward to seeing how it all would turn out. However, it should be no surprise that it was canceled — it happens all the time. All the networks care about are ratings & market share. They have no respect for the viewers Ironically, they have no loyalty to the people that they expect to faithfully watch their shows every week, or the investments of time & emotion that we make when we take that leap of faith to watch a new show. Clearly they have less faith in their shows than the people do. But,… Read more »
I loved that show and can’t understand why it was cancelled, CBS you SUCK!!!!
That was a great show.crazy for taking it off.
I loved the show. Couldn’t they have one more episode for those of us that want closure. If not, no more serial shows on CBS for me.
ARE YOU ******* KIDDING ME
Great show, lots of action. Why does CBS start a serial get you to like it and then cancel it. They do it a lot. Maybe I just have to watch NBC, ABC or FOX in the future.
Yes, I liked the show. And closure really wasn’t closure. Who was really trying the have the president killed, his sister-in-law? But wasn’t someone wanting to kill the sister-in-law. Does the female captor get the funds to keep her son. There wasn’t closure. I regret getting hooked on a show, only to learn it was cancelled. It’s making me not wanting to watch television at all.
Love that show. Very sad to hear it is cancelled!
sorry to see it canceled…I enjoyed it..but it would have been nice to have closure of the program..that is one thing I have noticed about CBS..if they cancel a new show, they never do a very good job of closure of the program..it is BAM it is gone..no wonder they do not have allot of loyal fans for the network..u never know if the show will stay on or not and if it doesn’t forget about an ending.. 🙁
Loved the show. Sorry to see it go. My family and I enjoyed it!
When something is good they always do the same thing they cancelled, that sucks!!!!
We are so disappointed! Show was fantastic! Always had us guessing! Boo !
We were left hanging. What happened. At left they should have given us some closure!
