In new releases this week, we’re highlighting the political thriller miniseries Hostage, starring Julie Delpy and Suranne Jones as world leaders facing an impossible choice. When the UK Prime Minister’s husband is kidnapped and the French President is blackmailed, the two must navigate a deadly conspiracy – and each other. Filmed at locations across the UK, including London, Hostage premieres this week on Netflix.
