The Idris Elba-starring Hijack was the talk of TV land last year, so it's not a huge surprise to discover that a second season of the gripping drama has been cleared for takeoff by Apple TV. The show will once again feature Elba as Sam Nelson, a businessman who found himself caught up in a hijacking during a seven-hour trip to London from Dubai, and while details are currently secret, Elba promises that Hijack season two will bring "the high octane back".
The news comes via TV Line, which got hold of Idris Elba's official statement about the second season of the Apple TV Plus show. "I was floored by the overwhelming audience response after season one," Elba says. And it looks like the showrunners have found a way around what Elba previously told the site were "limited" possibilities for a second season. As Sam "isn’t a cop, he isn’t ex-military or a spy or anything like that... the likelihood of lightning striking at the same spot is rare".
