Apple TV+ today announced it has landed ‘Hijack,’ a new seven-part thriller starring Idris Elba who will also serve as executive producer.
Told in real-time, the series is said to be 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.
