Idris Elba’s 2-Part Apple TV Thriller Enters a Sudden Streaming Downturn

Idris Elba's Apple TV thriller Hijack was an instant hit when it premiered in 2023. The gripping series tells the story of a corporate negotiator who finds himself caught in a hijacking and must use his skills to save his life and everyone aboard the plane. The series was renewed for Season 2 after the first season became a major hit, and it replicated its predecessor's success despite a lack of viewer acclaim. Hijack has been one of the top shows on Apple TV, peaking at number one when the season finale aired on March 4.
