Apple TV has dropped the first trailer for Season 2 of Hijack, the thrilling series with Idris Elba. The new season will have eight episodes, starting January 14, 2026, with a new episode released each week. The finale will air on March 4.

Idris Elba reprises his role as Sam Nelson, the talented negotiator viewers first met in Season 1. He previously resolved a hijacking situation on a flight between Dubai and London.

This season, Nelson finds himself in a tense standoff on a hijacked train in the Berlin subway. He’ll need to talk the situation down to keep the hostages safe, as police on the surface try to rescue everyone. However, Nelson’s direct way of handling things might sometimes conflict with the police’s strategy.
