Will there be a sequel to Hijack on Apple TV+?
Idris Elba's new Apple TV+ thriller Hijack may be getting a sequel, according to The Sun.
A source tells the newspaper "
“This is great news for Idris, who isn’t just the leading man of the show, he’s also one of the executive producers.
“So he has a great deal invested in the drama, which was reflected in just how enthusiastically he promoted it before it launched last month".
Told in real time, “Hijack” is a tense thriller that follows the journey of a hijacked plane as it makes its way to London over a seven-hour flight, and authorities on the ground scramble for answers. Elba will star as Sam Nelson, an accomplished negotiator in the business world who needs to step up and use all his guile to try and save the lives of the passengers — but, his high-risk strategy could be his undoing. Panjabi will play the role of Zahra Gahfoor, a counterterrorism officer who is on the ground when the plane is hijacked and becomes part of the investigation.
The series also stars Christine Adams, Max Beesley, Eve Myles, Neil Maskell, Jasper Britton, Harry Michell, Aimée Kelly, Mohamed Elsandel and Ben Miles.
