The exciting series “Hijack” about a hijacked plane is getting a second season. Lead actor Idris Elba is back, but the Brit isn’t revealing anything about the content.
The thriller series “Hijack” with the British lead actor Idris Elba (51) continues. The streaming service Apple TV+ announced the second season. The first season about a passenger plane that is hijacked on the flight from Dubai to London started last June.
Elba (“Luther”, “Thor: Day of Decision”) played businessman Sam Nelson, who, as a passenger, negotiates with the hijackers on board in order to gain time and find a way out without bloodshed. The series, filmed in real time, had seven one-hour episodes.
Nothing was initially known about the content of the second season. “It is top secret what situation Sam Nelson will find himself in this time, but I can assure you that we will keep the tension high again,” Elba said in a statement. The British star is back on board as the lead actor and executive producer. Director Jim Field Smith (“Criminal”) is also there again.
