The trailer sets an urgent tone as commuters on a Berlin metro train are taken hostage, prompting a frantic multi-agency scramble across the city. Idris Elba returns as Sam Nelson, once again thrust into the heart of chaos. On board the seized train, Nelson must make split-second decisions, each one carrying life-or-death consequences. Although the “real-time” storytelling device returns, the footage suggests the narrative will widen its scope far beyond a single train carriage, incorporating bomb threats, citywide panic, and political maneuvering.
Some viewers familiar with Berlin’s metro system have pointed out inaccuracies in the trailer—from the design of the trains to platform layouts—but the series clearly prioritizes heightened drama over documentary precision. Regardless, the shifting setting adds a fresh layer of unpredictability and urban claustrophobia that could set Season 2 apart from its airborne predecessor.
Hijack Season 2 comes from creator George Kay, known for his work on Lupin, Killing Eve, Criminal, and Litvinenko. Episodes are directed and co-written by Jim Field Smith, who also executive produces alongside Elba, Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, and Tom Nash. Shot on location in Berlin, the visual style aims to blend authenticity with cinematic intensity, promising viewers a fast-paced, interconnected crisis unfolding beneath the city streets.
Apple TV+ will begin streaming Season 2 of Hijack starting January 14, 2026. For fans of the show’s first season, the underground hostage setting offers a fresh twist on the real-time thriller format—bigger stakes, broader storytelling, and Idris Elba once again anchoring the chaos with magnetic presence.
