Season 2 of the streaming thriller series Hijack, starring Idris Elba, takes place on a Berlin underground train that is hijacked.
The season 2 trailer was released by Apple TV, with the premiere set for January 14, 2026, and episodes to roll out weekly until March 4.
Hijack season 1 involved a plane hijacking, while season 2 focuses on the train hijacking, maintaining core elements and characters.
The series was created by George Kay and Jim Field Smith, and became a hit for Apple TV, earning Elba an Emmy nomination for season 1.
Returning cast members in season 2 include Christine Adams, Max Beesley, and Archie Panjabi, with new additions such as Toby Jones, Clare-Hope Ashitey, and Lisa Vicari.
Elba has indicated his consideration of retiring from acting to focus on directing, promoting his new short film Dust To Dreams.
Despite being initially developed as a limited series, season 1’s success led to a renewal for season 2 of Hijack, giving the show the opportunity to evolve its themes and characters.
The trailer for season 2 suggests a plot that ties back to events from the first season, maintaining continuity and building on the foundation set by the initial installment.
