Hijack is currently streaming in Australia on Apple TV, and in the US on Apple TV, and it rewards the patience it asks of you. Across 2 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. With 824 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Idris Elba's performance alone is worth the time investment. Available now on Apple TV — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Hijack is worth clearing space for. Hijack trusts its audience to sit with discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly. Expert negotiator Sam Nelson is in for the ride of his life—and so is everyone on board with him—after a group of hijackers take control. Sam will try every move in his playbook to take them down...as the stakes grow higher by the second. Idris Elba and Christine Adams lead a cast doing genuinely serious work here. 2 seasons (2023–2026) gave the story room most shows never get. Hijack resists tidy resolutions in a way that respects how messy real consequences actually are. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

For anyone looking for storytelling that takes its characters seriously, Hijack delivers. If you have already watched Ransom, Hijack is a natural next step. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Idris Elba is the centre of it, and it is one of their strongest performances on record. The patience it asks of you early on is paid back with interest.

Hijack is currently airing new episodes, created by George Kay and Jim Field Smith — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
