CBS is advertising Hostages as a “limited series” with 15 episodes. If the ratings are poor, will it be cancelled before they all air? Or, if it’s a big hit, will they find a way to make a second season? Time will tell.
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 ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/10 update: CBS has officially cancelled Hostages after one season and 15 episodes.
Final season averages: 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.09 million total viewers.

Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you like the Hostages TV series? Do you think it should end after one season or return with the same or different characters?
loved Hostages. Hope returns for 2nd season
I think this show should be renewed. It has more to tell. Maybe Blair wasn’t the person in charge and another more dangerous clan.
We lo very the show….we look forward to watching the second season…please
Great shoe
I can’t believe this show has low ratings. I couldn’t miss watching an episode of it!
Please bring it back with the same actors.
Great show, please don’t cancel. Find a way to make it work. Great actors too. Love. It.
Show was mediocre, but Toni Collette needs a new show.
She was brilliant in United States of Tara.
Started slow but finished strong! Please renew it
Love it, love it, love it!!! Please, bring it back with the same actors!!
Totally in love with that show and Toni Colett,, hope it will be back for another season.
I loved the show, please bring it back with the same characters.
Great show…
Great show & awesome finale! Would love to see it return with same actors!
Great show! I am assuming it’s cancelled though — they tied up all the loose ends in the tw0-hour finale. Would like to see the show continue though.
Loved it, bring it back please…….
