Seeing Suranne Jones starring in anything is a good indicator of a stellar TV show — so the news that she's leading new Netflix thriller, Hostage, is enough to make us mark a date in our TV-watching schedule.
A trailer just dropped for the new British thriller, which looks right up the street of Dept Q fans and also stars Julie Delpy. Unsurprisingly fans are already excited to watch.
Netflix says of the plot, written by Matt Charman (whose previous credits include Bridge of Spies and Treason): 'When the British prime minister’s husband is kidnapped and the visiting French president is blackmailed, the two political leaders both face unimaginable choices. Forced into a fierce rivalry where their political futures, and lives, might hang in the balance, can they work together to uncover the plot that threatens them both?'

Fans of Dr Foster and Vigil will be thrilled to see Jones in a role she usually excels in — namely unimaginable stress. Speaking about taking on the role, she told Tudum: 'I’m thrilled to be on Netflix, in something I’m really proud of,' she said. '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.'
Charman said: '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.'
