Apple TV+ today shared a first look at “Hijack,” a new seven-part thriller starring and executive produced by SAG Award winner and Emmy Award nominee Idris Elba (“Luther”). “Hijack” will make its global debut with the first two episodes on Wednesday, June 28 on Apple TV+.

Created by George Kay (“Lupin,” “Criminal”) and Jim Field Smith (“Criminal,” “Truth Seekers”), who also wrote and lead directed the series respectively, the series also stars Emmy Award and NAACP Image Award winner Archie Panjabi (“The Good Wife,” “Snowpiercer,” “Blindspot”).

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. Panjabi will play the role of Zahra Gahfoor, a counterterrorism officer who is on the ground when the plane is hijacked and becomes part of the investigation. In addition to Elba and Panjabi, the series stars Christine Adams, Max Beesley, Eve Myles, Neil Maskell, Jasper Britton, Harry Michell, Aimée Kelly, Mohamed Elsandel and Ben Miles.

“Hijack” has been produced by 60Forty Films, the production company set up by Emmy Award-winning executive producers Jamie Laurenson and Hakan Kousetta (“Slow Horses,” “The Essex Serpent”) under its exclusive content deal with Apple TV+, alongside Kay and Field Smith’s own production company Idiotlamp Productions, and also marks the first series to debut from Elba’s first-look deal with Apple TV+ and his Green Door Pictures.

Wonder if everyone got a pack of real bullets or if those were the only real ones

Curious what they're getting out of this

Looking at the episode names it may be a spoiler
 
Good show so far. I’m thinking the hijackers were coerced to do this by a higher power we’ll find out about later. They don’t really look like they want these issues but have no choice.
 
Very interesting situation

I paused on the letter and it looks like they're demading the release of someone or some people. Will it be a ploy like the villains from Die Hard or is that what they're really after? I hope it's a ploy because that seems dumb to risk your life over

Not sure even US would accept another nation saying ignore the plane flying over their capital

Took me awhile to figure out who was killed. The woman who was diagonal of the irritated mother of 2

These hijackers look more amateurish as time goes on

So some big criminal organization has people do jobs for them or they hire hitmen to kill their families and all? Why not hire more professional people?

Also what a failure of the police to not secure the home of the only lead you have on the hijacking

Odd that someone would publicly give a letter to a government official about the demands of a current hijacking

Also the big time negotiator hasn't done a great job. Like all of his ideas have failed
 
Now he wants the passengers to fight and take over the plane?



What the hell just happened? Who the hell is she?!? Is she the backup in case the amateurs screw up?

She got up like she was about to kill the hijackers and then she popped the pilot. This episode was all over the place

There's still the copilot but unknown also closed the door

Shit would have worked if the pilot didn't hesitate and just go to the damn cockpit

Lol also this makes uk or whatever government agency look like trash
