A new interview with Toni Collette and Dylan McDermott has been published by Parade Magazine. n this “limited event” series of Hostages (it will air 15 episodes consecutively, no repeats), a surgeon (Toni Collette) slated to operate on the president is taken hostage along with her family and told to kill him during the procedure. The head bad guy? None other than an FBI agent played by Dylan McDermott. Hostages, which is one of Parade‘s picks for fall’s top 10 new shows), premieres on Sept. 23 on CBS.

Toni, will your character be revealed to be not as morally upstanding as she seems in the first episode?
Collette: Nobody is [what they seem], and that’s one of the things that drew me to this. All the characters are very real and complex. The intense amount of pressure that this family is put under is a very negative situation, obviously, but something very positive comes out of it for [my character].

The complete article can be read at Parade’s official website.

Video and article courtesy Entertainment Tonight. Toni Collette and Dylan McDermott team up this fall on Hostages, the riveting, limited-series political thriller from executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer, in which Toni plays a surgeon who holds the life of the president in her hands – literally. “It’s a character-driven piece, ultimately,” says Toni. “It’s one of those shows where the ground keeps moving and you think you know what’s happening and it just ends up being turned on its head. … The story’s constantly evolving.” Collette plays Dr. Ellen Sanders, a premiere surgeon forced to make the most harrowing life-or-death decision imaginable. McDermott plays Duncan Carlisle, a by rogue FBI Agent that takes Sanders’ family hostage and orders her to assassinate the president when she operates on him.

With her family’s life in peril, the choices between right and wrong become even more blurred as her every move has enormous national and personal consequences. “That’s the best part, is that this show’s only 15 episodes and so there’s no fat on this show and it’s going to be streamlined, and we’re going for it every episode,” says McDermott. “Every kernel of information you get is going to be gold because it’s all going to be linked together until we get to the end.” Also starring Tate Donovan, Billy Brown, James Naughton, Quinn Shephard, Mateus Ward, Rhys Coiro and Sandrine Holt, Hostages premieres Monday, September 23 at 10/9c on CBS.
