MGM+ revealed the following about the series:
“Premium linear channel and streaming service MGM+ has announced it has ordered the original thrilling anthology series American Hostage (working title) from co-creator and executive producer Shawn Ryan (The Night Agent, S.W.A.T.) and co-creator and executive producer Eileen Myers (Big Love, Mad Dogs).

Sony Pictures Television will distribute the series internationally.
Based on the acclaimed first season of the scripted podcast of the same name, American Hostage is a psychological thriller set in the 1970s that tells the harrowing true story of Fred Heckman (Hamm), a beloved Indianapolis radio reporter who is thrust into the middle of a life-or-death crisis when hostage-taker Tony Kiritsis demands to be interviewed on his popular radio news program.”
