Hijack is one of Apple TV’s latest TV shows, a second season coming out recently, on January 14th, 2026, releasing episodes weekly since then, the second season finale coming out on March 4th, 2026.
In the first season, Sam Nelson, played by Idris Elba, is a corporate negotiator that is stuck in a plane that has been hijacked on a flight from Dubai to London, and must use his skills to save everyone on board. In the second season, Sam Nelson is conspired into hijacking a train, with fatal consequences for not complying.
Hijack has great timing and suspense, masterfully building up pressure and suspense, making for great action moments. Idris Elba plays this role very well, adding to the tension of the series. That being said, it is somewhat repetitive, not standing out when compared to other similar thriller/drama series. But overall, Hijack is a very entertaining and suspenseful watch, and definitely was worth watching.
