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?
Bring Hostages back!!!
i keep checking when hostages will be back. but now its been cancelled !!! i loved hostages !!!!! I’m so heart broken and sad…. pls bring it back <3
I absolutley love the series and am shocked to hear that it is cancelled. Please bring the show back. I loved every minute
Pls bring back the show, my wife and I really followed and enjoyed every episodes till the end. I don’t understand why such a show should be cancelled. Too bad!
Sick of shows that I LOVE getting cancelled!
This was a fantasic show!!!
Enjoyed the entire season. I was wondering what they could do next, and imagined it. I liked the cast. Fortunately there is a lot more to watch, even with Dylan.
Very disappointed at the cancellation of this show. It was a great show and I was looking forward to Season 2. My sister and I watched it faithfully every week.
I love this show. Bring it back please
They need to bring this show back! Maybe a REAL network like FOX should air the show!
I know, right? A REAL network like FOX should run Hostages.
Unlike CBS, they know good drama over at FOX, not crappy “moody/emo” fake crime-dramas like Bones, Vanished, Touch, Standoff, Lie To Me, OOPS. I forgot FOX is a horrible network unless your writing is amazing (House), or pretty good w/amazing marketing (24). But even great writing will fail at FOX (Firefly).
Not to mention that — and I liked Hostages — this show was clichéd, the characters generally unsympathetic & a plot that inherently was.easy to see coming.
I really liked the show. I was wondering what happen to it. This sucks bring the show back with the same characters.
Good show with an okay plot line, great casting and acting. I did wonder how long the story could continue and how the writers would be able to come up with new ideas for a limited plot. It was a good one season show, I am glad I watched it.
Bull****..can’t believe they just cancelled Hostages ssn two
wan twonted to see seaso
My mom and I watched every episode in the first season and have been waiting for it to come back on and come to find its canceled. We loved everything about the series. Don’t change a thing! Just being it back
I really liked the show, I was looking forward to it.
