Shake downthe surprise Apple TV+ drama starring Idris Elba, who had him stuck in a hijacked flight headed for London in season one, is back for another run.
There is no word on whether Idris Elba's character, Sam Nelson, is a successful business negotiator who had to use his negotiating skills to save the lives of the flight's passengers.
Per Deadline:
The hard details are not yet available, but Apple TV+ gave the green light for its second season Shake down by George Kay (Lupin, Criminal) and Jim Field Smith (Criminal, Litvinenko).
The second season of Hijack will be produced by Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta and Tom Nash at 60Forty Films, along with executive producers Kay and Field Smith's production company Idiotlamp Productions. Field Smith also serves as lead director for the series.
“I was blown away by the overwhelming audience response after Season 1,” said Elba, who also served as an executive producer on the show. “It's top secret what new situation is unfolding for Sam Nelson, but I can assure you we're going to bring back the high octane.
It should come as a shock that the show is coming back. It was one of the top shows on AppleTV+ and also landed on the Nielsen Originals Top 10 list.
Hijack also starred Archie Panjabi, Of the Crown Ben Miles and Max Beesley.
We're interested to see what high-stakes scenario Sam Nelson will step into when Season 2 rolls around.
