A new sneak peek clip has been released from the upcoming episode of Hijack, starring and executive-produced by Idris Elba. In the new episode, Sam Nelson (Elba) urges Otto (Christian Näthe) to keep his cool as passengers begin to suspect something is wrong, as Police Chief Winter (Christiane Paul) races to mount a response.

The second episode of the season, titled “Control,” will premiere globally on Wednesday, January 21, on Apple TV. Created by George Kay and Jim Field Smith, the eight-episode second season will release new episodes every Wednesday until March 4. 

Season two picks up two years after Flight KA29’s hijacking, when a Berlin underground train and its commuters are taken hostage, and authorities scramble to save hundreds of lives. Sam is at the heart of the crisis on board, where one wrong decision could spell disaster.
