Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on an Israeli series of the same name; this American adaptation was developed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff, who wrote The Day After Tomorrow.
Part of a brief 2013-2014 wave of 'limited series that became unlimited' — Hostages was designed as a close-ended 15-episode story, making its cancellation particularly brutal for invested viewers.
