Here’s how to watch Idris Elba in ‘Hijack’ Season 2 for free

Idris Elba will once again find himself in the middle of a hijacking when “Hijack” returns to Apple TV for a second season.

The thriller series was renewed in early 2024 following its acclaimed first season.

Elba stars in the Apple Original as Sam Nelson, a business negotiator who, in Season 1, had to broker an end to the hijacking of a flight from Dubai to London.

In Season 2, “a Berlin underground train and its commuters are taken hostage, while, above ground, authorities scramble to save hundreds of lives. Sam Nelson is at the heart of the crisis on board, where one wrong decision could spell disaster.”

Here’s everything you need to know about “Hijack” Season 2 on Apple TV.

“Hijack” premieres Wednesday, Jan. 14, on Apple TV. One new episode will come out every Wednesday through March 4.
