Overview
- The second season launches January 14, 2026 on Apple TV with eight episodes unfolding in real time.
- The plot shifts underground to Berlin’s U-Bahn, focusing on a hijacked U5 service and tunnels near Hauptbahnhof and Rotes Rathaus.
- Idris Elba returns as negotiator Sam Nelson alongside German actors Albrecht Schuch, Lisa Vicari, Christiane Paul, Christian Berkel and Christian Näthe.
- Crisis response centers on BVG staffer Clara Berger handling negotiations and police chief Winter contending with a more aggressive colleague.
