Hijack first came out more than two years ago on June 28, 2023, and will be returning for Season 3 on January 14, 2026. The first season followed Sam Nelson, a business negotiator, as he boarded flight KA29 from Dubai to London. However, the plane gets hijacked, and Nelson has to do his best to neutralise the situation.While Season 1 ended with the hijackers getting arrested and the passengers of the plane rescued, another hijacking incident will follow Sam in Season 2, as he travels on a train in Berlin. Apple TV has released a clip of the previous season ahead of the Season 2 release, reminding viewers to catch up.Apple TV releases a new clip before the release of Hijack Season 2, starring Idris ElbaApple TV releasing a new clip could be just another part of their social marketing, but it seems like catching up on Season 1 is important if one wants to watch Season 2, despite the incidents being different. Some of the characters, other than Nelson, from Season 1 are going to be in Season 2, but given how much Apple TV is emphasising viewers rewatching Season 1, it seems something from the first season will have a connection to Season 2. The new clip released shows Sam Nelson checking in for his flight and travelling light.After he checks in, a fellow passenger, Alec, narrowly misses the entry as the airport gate closes on its scheduled time. Alec tries to convince the airport staff, saying his luggage is already on board, but she doesn't listen. Nelson notices this exchange and convinces the gate staff to allow Alec since the gate has just closed, and it won't make much of a difference. She listens and lets Alec through, and he thanks Nelson. The clip ends there, and it is captioned with,Traveling on the Sunday after Thanksgiving.Catch up on #Hijack before Season 2 premieres January 14.The logline for Hijack Season 2, according to Apple TV, is,In the thrilling second season of “Hijack,” a Berlin underground train and its commuters are taken hostage, while authorities scramble to save hundreds of lives.
