“Einsteigen, bitte.” Which means “please enter.” What are the odds of someone being involved in a hijacking situation TWICE?! Well, that’s TV for you! Let’s watch and find out. Apple TV has confirmed and announced that they are continuing with Season 2 of the thriller series Hijack – this time set on the metro in Berlin. The first Hijack series launched on Apple TV+ in June 2023 – the “real time” series followed a 7-hour flight on its way to London that was being hijacked, involving Idris Elda as one of the passengers. In the thrilling second season of Hijack, a Berlin underground train and its commuters are taken hostage, while authorities scramble to save lives. Sam Nelson (Elba) is at the heart of the crisis on board, where one wrong decision could spell disaster. Can they really keep this “real-time” gimmick going on a train with a bomb? For 7 or 8 hours of TV? I live in Berlin (hey, that’s my city!) and you could ride the entire circuit around the city and it wouldn’t be more than 2 hours in total. The sounds in this are also entirely wrong. Curious to see where this goes and how the situation plays out on a train. Maybe it’s a spin on the classic The Taking of Pelham 123?
Here’s the announcement teaser for Apple TV+’s series Hijack – Season 2, direct from YouTube:
