Will Hostage Get A Season 2? Here's Everything We Know About The Netflix Thriller's Future

Suranne Jones as prime minister Abigail Dalton in HostageLet’s just say it, the mere fact you’re reading this suggests you spent your Bank Holiday weekend binge-watching all five episodes of Netflix’s new thriller Hostage.Good, wasn’t it?Having fled through all five instalments of Hostage, you might now have found yourself wondering what’s next for Suranne Jones’ character.After all, Abigail Dalton is back in Downing Street and reunited with her family after the dramatic events of the series finale, which ends on the cliffhanger of her calling a general election, meaning the door is technically left wide open for a potential follow-up if Suranne and screenwriter Matt Charman saw fit.Here’s what we know about the future of Hostage…Will Hostage get a season 2?Well, at the moment that’s not exactly clear, but there are a few things we do know.First of all, it was explicitly billed by Netflix as a limited series, meaning it wasn’t created with future seasons in mind. That being said, other originals on the streaming platform started life as limited series and miniseries, only to be turned into something else later down the line, so we wouldn’t rule it out completely for the time being (if they were to continue Abigail’s story, they might want to change the title, though, unless she winds up unlucky enough to have someone else close to her held for ransom later on in the story).It’s also pretty well-documented at this point that streaming figures often influence whether Netflix chooses to renew its original content, so given that Hostage immediately shot to the number one spot on the service’s most-watched list in the UK the day after it premiered, that could bode well for fans hoping to see more of Abigail Dalton at No. 10.What have Suranne Jones and Hostage writer Matt Charman said about a potential season 2?Abigail Dalton is reunited with her family at the end of HostageWhile Suranne has so far remained tight-lipped about whether she’d like to step back into Abigail Dalton’s uncomfortable shoes, Matt Charman told Radio Times there’s one idea that he’d potentially be up for exploring.Julie Delpy obviously would not be back for a second season, nor would Martin McCann, who played Shagan.Matt noted: “It was completely intentional around Sylvie because I think, truthfully, those ripples are... they never stop. If you do that, if you’re in a situation where you do something that completely crosses a line as human being, there’s no end to that trauma or that sense of ‘who am I now, who was I before?’.”He added that the impact of Shagan’s death on Sylvie “would be fun to explore” if there were to be more episodes of Hostage, noting that “what that does to a person as they enter adulthood” would also be an interesting question to ask within the show.For now, you can watch all five episodes of Hostage on Netflix.
