Idris Elba returns in the second season of Hijack
The first season of Hijackreleased in 2023 on Apple TV+, continues Sam Nelson, a recognized negotiator in its environment. Luckily for the other passengers, he was on board whena plane bound for London is hijacked. Then he gets to work try to get the passengers out of this situation while, at the same time, The authorities on site are also trying to put an end to this nightmare. But Sam chooses a dangerous strategy…
The story of Hijack has the particularity of being told in real time. And this choice, which makes the story compelling to follow, was very pleasing to Apple TV+ subscribers. Because the series did it a carton upon his release. If the streaming service has ordered a second season in January 2024 little news of this sequel had been provided since then. But this finally a teaser and a release date.
This time Sam is stuck in a subway loaded with explosives
Season 2 of Hijack will be always focused on the character played by Idris ElbaSam Nelson. And the teaser for this sequel reveals the threat he will face this time. We see it like this board a subway, under which a bomb is hidden.

Sam will therefore still have to save the passengers on board with him. We imagine that season 2 will take the same approach as the first e at the same time they will follow the authorities who are trying to manage the situation outside the subway While the character played by Idris Elba will do his best inside the train.
The sequel will be broadcast in early 2026
Hijack we will return early next year. The second season will begin broadcasting January 14, 2026. The first two episodes of the show will be released on this date. Through a press releaseApple TV+ made that cleara new episode would then be released every weekuntil the end February 25th. This new season will therefore be a little longer than the previous one since it will have it eight episodes instead of seven.
Idris Elba won’t be the only actor returning for this sequel. Christine Adams, Max Beesley AND Archie Panjabi will return in their respective roles of Marsha, Daniel and Zahra. And season 2 will introduce new characters played by Christian Nathe (The wind of freedom), Clare Hope Ashitey (Seven seconds), Lisa Vicari (Dark), Tony Jones (Sherlock), Karim McAdams (Dune: Prophecy) AND Christian Paul (FBI: International).
