27 APRIL 2022 - We’re finally going to see something from Idris Elba’s first-look deal with Apple TV+. The streaming service issued a press release last week announcing the seven-part thriller “Hijack” from Elba’s Green Door Pictures. “Told in real time,” according to the release:

…“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, as authorities on the ground scramble for answers. Elba will star as Sam Nelson, an accomplished negotiator in the business world who needs to step up and use all his guile to try and save the lives of the passengers — but his high-risk strategy could be his undoing.

Probably won’t be, though.

No word from Apple on when the series will premier.
