HIJACK: Apple TV+ Orders Idris Elba Real-Time Drama

Apple TV+ has ordered a new drama HIJACK straight to series, the streamer announced.

The seven-part series was created by George Kay and will star Idris Elba (who will also serve as an executive producer), with Jim Field Smith directing.

According to Apple TV+, “Told in real time, HIJACK is a tense, thriller that follows the journey of a hijacked plane as it makes its way to London over a seven hour flight, and authorities on the ground scramble for answers. Elba will star as ‘Sam Nelson,’ an accomplished negotiator in the business world who needs to step up and use all his guile to try and save the lives of the passengers — but, his high-risk strategy could be his undoing.”
