Today, Netflix released the official trailer and new images for its political thriller Hostage, starring Suranne Jones.
Hostage is set to launch globally on August 21st.
The five-part series, produced by Binocular Productions, stars and is executive produced by Suranne Jones, (Gentlemen Jack, Vigil, Doctor Foster) marking her first project with Netflix. It’s written by Matt Charman (Bridge of Spies, Treason).
Charman says, “I’ve been dying to find the right story to tell with Suranne and I honestly believe what she’s done with this character is going to blow the Netflix audience away. An embattled British PM in the middle of a fight for her country and her family — she’s fierce, ruthless, and you can’t take your eyes off of her.”
“I’m thrilled to be on Netflix, in something I’m really proud of,” Jones says. “It’s been something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. We’d talked about projects previously, but for me, it was about finding the right thing. Hostage was perfect — me and Matt together, backed up by this brilliant, supportive team. I loved it.”
