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 watched it and I would have watched it every week, which sells commercials for the network, however, for real it should have been staged like the show -24 – like an hourly thing. It would just make a good miniseries and definitely not really go to Season 2 because a whole family being held hostage for that long?? It would not go on and on. If you like Dylan McDermott, he has found a promising new role on “Stalker”.
Loved loved loved this show!!! Needs to come back! Very irritating that they didn’t end it properly!!!
TV channels need to stop canceling shows mid story. It is infuriating. I just watched all 15 episodes on Netflix and am now angry that I have no idea how it ends. Season 2 please
I mentioned this link of comments to them. But you can also call to let them know how you feel about them canceling your favorite shows by calling:
212-975-3247 between the hours of 10AM and 11:30AM ET
….or 2PM and 3:30PM ET Monday through Friday.
Some of the characters were weak and some parts were meant to make the viewers upset but then again in real life there are people who act stupid. The plot was very interesting and the acting was also good. Should stick with it and continue instead of keep canceling shows after shows. That in itself is stupid. There are other shows on CBS that are horrible and they are still running. What is CBS trying to tell us? Really.

NO! Loved the show. PLEASE bring it back!!!
It was a good show and a good story. I am pleased that the story was completed and would have been disappointed if there was more seasons. Sometimes good stories just need to end.
I watched every episode and loved it. It should come back with everyone in it. It wasn’t quite concluded at the finale of season 1.
I liked the show. Granted I didn’t watch every episode but it was very good. I would like a season two.
why would you stop it best series ever
I loved this show and Dylan McDermott-so sad I
Is cancelled – boo
We need to start a petition for them to bring this show back!!!!!
I agree
i agree
I am so disappointed to hear this series has been canceled my family have been waiting for the start of the second season. We loved this show. I hope they bring this show back maybe they just had it on the wrong day or time. They also forget about the on demand feature where we can watch it whenever we want or record the show does that count in the ratings?
Love this show. Bring it back !!
why will this show be cancelled for christ sake, if you know you love this show, let us just rate this show so the season 2 can be done
Very disappointed to hear this show is canceled. This show was not only entertaining, but kept you on the edge of your seat. Dylan McDermott definitely made the show and is by far one of the best good and likeable bad guy actors out there.
