The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that Hijack is returning to Apple TV for another season, despite the first season boasting a perfectly fine beginning, middle and end. In a Globe special, Amber Dowling writes that the Idris Elba-led and produced series show was renewed for a second round was surprising; how do you plausibly recreate a series about a hijacked plane and the hero who saved the day? As it turns out, all you need to do is move the high-stakes situation from the skies to the underground tunnels of Berlin and you are set for eight episodes of pure adrenalin. When Hijack returns, it has been two years since Sam Nelson (Elba) saved the passengers on flight KA29. Almost immediately he finds himself in another hijack situation, this time on a crowded subway train in Germany. What you do need to know is that while Season 1 was an excellent showcase for Mr. Elba as an expert corporate negotiator (he earned an Emmy nod for the turn), Season 2 lacks the surprise elements and restrained narrative of the first. Ms. Dowling writes that whereas the initial premise took place over eight hours (an average of one hour an episode), there is less structure here as the subway train barrels on.
