Idris Elba has been cast in the 'Lupin' creator's new thriller series 'Hijack.'
Apple TV+ announced today that a new series starring Idris Elba is in the works. Hijack is set to be a tense thriller that chronicles a long and tense hijacking of a plane on its way to London. Each episode will depict one hour of the seven-hour flight, meaning that the series will play out in real-time.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY By its premise alone, Hijack has the potential to be one of TV’s must-watch thriller series. The real-time format is one that proved extremely successful for the long-running and acclaimed series 24, and to put the story inside the confined space of an airplane is a sure way to keep tensions high.
Hijack is written by George Kay, who recently created and penned the highly successful Netflix series Lupin. Kay has an extended experience with investigative stories: he also wrote for Killing Eve and Criminal: UK. The upcoming series is directed by Jim Field Smith, who worked with screenwriter Kay on Criminal: UK and recently helmed Prime Video’s Truth Seekers. Kay and Smith both co-executive produce the series alongside Elba.
Apple TV+ is yet to reveal further information on Hijack, including additional cast members and release date. 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.
