Hijack’ Season 2 Debuts on Apple TV With Berlin-Set Thriller and Weekly Rollout

Idris Elba returns in an eight-episode underground hostage drama from the original creative team.

Overview

  • The new season premiered on Wednesday, January 14, with fresh episodes arriving weekly through the March 4 finale.
  • Season 2 shifts from a plane to Berlin’s U-Bahn, centering on a commuter train crisis with authorities racing to protect passengers.
  • Co-creators George Kay and Jim Field Smith return, framing the story as a tougher “physical and moral maze” for Sam Nelson.
  • Christine Adams, Max Beesley and Archie Panjabi are back, joined by newcomers including Toby Jones, Christian Näthe, Clare-Hope Ashitey and Lisa Vicari.
  • Early reviews note strong performances and craft but question the expanded, sometimes implausible plotting.
