Medical drama enthusiasts, take note: Suranne Jones returns for a new Netflix suspenseful drama titled "Hostage". Here's what's been revealed so far.
In the heart of political drama, the Netflix limited series "Hostage" stands out as a five-part suspenseful journey. The show revolves around British Prime Minister Abigail Dalton, portrayed by Suranne Jones, who finds herself in a precarious situation when her husband, Alex Anderson, a Médecins Sans Frontières doctor, is kidnapped in French Guiana.
The kidnappers demand Abigail's immediate resignation in exchange for her husband's safe return. This crisis unfolds at a critical juncture, as Abigail is scheduled to meet with the French President Vivienne Toussaint, played by Julie Delpy, amid a UK shortage of critical cancer drugs. The meeting becomes entangled in a larger blackmail plot targeting both leaders [1][2].
As the story unfolds, Abigail must navigate high-stakes hostage negotiations while dealing with internal political turmoil, a combative chief of staff, family issues, and conspiracies involving moles and sleeper agents linked to a shadowy organization. Meanwhile, Vivienne faces pressure from her own past blackmail [1][3].
The series, originally known as "The Choice," boasts an impressive cast, including Lucian Msamati, known for "Conclave" and "Gangs of London," and Ashley Thomas, James Cosmo, Martin McCann, Jehnny Beth, and Corey Mylchreest, known for "Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story" and "The Sandman" [4].
Matt Charman, the show's creator, expressed his admiration for Suranne Jones's performance, believing it will impress the Netflix audience [5]. Suranne Jones, in turn, expressed her excitement about being on Netflix and being a part of a project she is proud of [6].
The release date for "Hostage" has yet to be announced, but anticipation for this political drama is building, with its blend of international intrigue, high-stakes negotiations, and personal struggles promising a thrilling viewing experience.
