Idris Elba's Thriller Hits a Breaking Point in Tense 'Hijack' Sneak Peek [Exclusive]

Apple TV unveiled an exclusive clip from Episode 5 of Hijack Season 2, titled “Outage,” and it suggests things are about to get much worse before they get better. Premiering Wednesday, February 11, Episode 5 finds tensions on the Berlin underground train finally reaching a boiling point as fear, anger and frustration ripple through the trapped passengers.

Idris Elba’s Sam Nelson comes to a frightening realization that could completely change how this crisis unfolds. The sneak peek leans hard into the show’s signature real-time pressure, making clear that one wrong move could cost lives. Season 2 shifts the action from the skies to the subway while keeping the formula that made the first season effective.

Once again Elba plays a corporate negotiator who keeps ending up in impossible situations; this time he’s locked inside a speeding underground train with hundreds of commuters and no easy way out, and there’s a growing sense that Sam may not be here by coincidence.
