Is a new season of Hijack inevitable? Will Idris Elba be getting on a train next time?
Or maybe a different lead. Mackenzie Davis on a cruise ship? Jack Black on a bus? Can't wait, either way.

I think its fine as a standalone series. No need for a follow up.
Gonna be honest I think this should have been a movie. It felt poorly paced and bloated, but the content was great at its core. Of course, then it would have been indistinguishable from the dozen other hijack movies but here we are.
I was thinking this at first too but I think the format worked. What ended up appealing to me was the attempt at making it feel as if it was unfolding in real time. It was similar to the feel of “24” but they condensed it to a 7 hour flight.
Yeah agreed, this show was great as a real-time story. They just kind of yadda-yadda’d the end.

No, he was a business negotiator. Difficult deals, mergers and the such.
Not remotely the same thing! 😂
