\n

It\u2019s a good day for fans of Idris Elba\u2018s nail-biting limited series \u201cHijack.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apple TV+ has confirmed that Elba is set to return as negotiator Sam Nelson in a second season of the high-octane drama, which quickly became one of the streamer\u2019s top shows when it dropped last year.<\/p>\n

Told almost in real-time, the series follows Nelson on a seven-hour plane ride from Dubai to London which is hijacked by terrorists. A seasoned negotiator, Nelson quickly steps in to try and diffuse the situation before anyone gets killed \u2013 but soon realizes there is more to the hijackers\u2019 plot than first seems. Archie Panjabi, Christine Adams, Max Beesley and Ben Miles also starred.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was floored by the overwhelming audience response after Season 1,\u201d Elba said. \u201cIt\u2019s top secret what new situation unfolds for Sam Nelson, but I can assure you we will bring the high octane back!\u201d<\/p>\n

Idris will also return to executive produce the show alongside creators George Kay and Jim Field Smith\u2019s company Idiotlamp Productions. 60Forty Films\u2019 Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta and Tom Nash will also exec produce.<\/p>\n

Field Smith (\u201cCriminal\u201d) is on board as lead director for the series.<\/p>\n

\u201cGlobal audiences were on tenterhooks watching Idris\u2019 riveting performance in \u2018Hijack,\u2019 and we\u2019re thrilled to be working again with 60Forty and Idiotlamp on an equally compelling Season 2,\u201d said Jay Hunt, Apple TV+\u2019s creative director for Europe.<\/p>\n

No plot details for the new season have been revealed, but last summer Elba told Variety<\/em> he would be up for returning as Nelson if he and the team could find the right storyline.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m open to that character coming back. I think if people were compelled to like the character, then I\u2019m in,\u201d Elba said. \u201cBut it\u2019s kind of like \u2014 he\u2019s not a cop [so] what would be the acceptable Sam Nelson return? And if I\u2019m honest, I\u2019m not sure. I\u2019d like that, but I just don\u2019t want to put him on another hijack.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
