Prepare for take-off: Apple TV Plus series Hijack is officially returning for season 2.
“I was floored by the overwhelming audience response after season 1,” Elba said in a statement. “It’s top secret what new situation unfolds for Sam Nelson, but I can assure you we will bring the high octane back!”
As usual, plot details are being kept tightly under wraps. Of course, they say lightning doesn’t strike twice, and it would beverybad luck to end up on a second hijacked plane. How else the series could live up to its title, however, remains to be seen.
Season 1’s cast also included Neil Maskell, Christine Adams, Eve Myles, Archie Panjabi, and Max Beesley, but it’s unclear which – if any – actors will return for the show’s second outing. Season 1 helmer and co-creator Jim Field Smith is confirmed to be returning as lead director, though.
