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?
Found this on Netflix & loved the series. I can’t believe there isn’t going to b another season. Bummed
I watched on Netflix, my Husband, my Doughter and I, and we love the show! Great show. Please bring season # 2!
I just pick this show as something to watch on Netflix … I love it, very suspenseful, luv the characters… I can’t believe that it got cancalled. I watched 7 episodes in one night back to back ..lol. One of the best drama series I have seen in a long time. As someone said above ,I think that if more people would have watched ,the rating would have hit the roof……..
PLEASE BRING US MORE , A SECOND SEASON WOULD BE AWESOME…..
My husband and I are hooked on this show.
We loved watching Hostages. Great acting by entire cast.
We are now viewing on Netflix and on week 8.
Excellent and suspenseful well written material.
Please bring on series two. We will
be disappointed if no second series. Ratings
will improve as this show gets viewers hooked.
I watched this on Netflix and it was one of the most …edge of your seat series that I have watched in a long time…I guess not enough watched it or it would have had off the chart ratings…wished there would have been a season 2… very sad 🙁
LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the show, had me waiting with anticipation every week. Cant believe its cancelled. Just googled it to see when it was coming back today 10/26/14 and am very heart broken.
So disappointed that there won’t be a 2nd series. I loved it and lots of my friends and work colleagues also followed it. Loved the cast also. Especially Dylan and Toni.

Just started watching it Netflix and it’s a great show. I’m sad it’s cancelled!!!
Bull ****! Great show! Would pay money to see more!
Just found the show and loved it, was looking forward to seeing how they were going to do a second season. So disappointed that it was canceled.
Very entertaining show. Clever writing and frequent suspension of disbelief kept things going, but the last episode destroyed any continuity for an ongoing series with any of the same characters. Perhaps a two part made-for-TV movie would have been a better choice, but I viewed the entire season on Netflix in two very long sessions which made the events that the writers invented seem more overwhelming than if separated by a week in between each episode.
Very disappointed – awesome show – bring it back!
Like it a lot, but agree, it would not have anywhere to go. Great cast.
Very disappointed – awesome show – bring it back!
