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?
This show was great, violent yes, inspire plots by others, yes but geeze folks these actors, story and plot lines were fabulous!!0
My husband, my dogs and I want Hostages back! Bring it on CBS!
The series was riveting!! I can’t believe there isn’t another one in the works.
This really is sad for all the fans.I was looking forward at the return.
My husband and I were counting all summer long with seeing the second season!! Thought the characters were great and the show itself was fantastic, very dissappointed.
At least tell us how the story ended
Loved the show hostage. I am sad they decide to take off shows that millions of viewers are hooked on. Some of the new shows can’t compare!
BRING BACK HOSTAGES!!!
Please bring back Hostages. It was a show that brought my wife and I back together. It gave us a wonderful time to be together without the kids. We watched every single episode. Bring it back, please. It’s so unfair that great dramas get cancelled all the time.
Love this show. Bummed it’s been cancelled.
I absolutely loved hostages, it was so thrilling and exciting. But boo-hoo… I guess that was that. However, if it did return I would totally watch every episode.
It sucks this show isn’t coming back, I watched it faithfully every Monday
So sad to see that there will not be a season 2 to Hostages . My husband and I watch all of the 1st episode and are now sad to see that it won’t be coming back .
Extremely disappointed to have another tv show cancelled. I really did like this and was looking forward to the next season.
Please give it a try again…. That is my favorite show!!!!
I faithfully watched Hostage and really enjoyed it . Excellent casting!! But at my age of 55 I have decided not to watch ANY new series. My time is too precious to have it cancelled.
