Hijack release schedule: When is episode 7 on Apple TV+?
The new series is led by Idris Elba as a risk-taking business negotiator.
Hijack viewers are eagerly anticipating the final episode of Idris Elba's thrilling Apple TV+ series, which stars the national treasure as a business negotiator held captive on a long haul flight.
Fans have been impressed by the unconventional pacing – the show unfolds in real-time – and the gritty action sequences, with Elba telling press that they were tough to film in such a confined space.
Over the past six episodes, we've seen Sam Nelson (Elba) navigate an incredibly dangerous and volatile hijacking of his flight home from Dubai to London, with fans now keen to know exactly how things will end for the character.
The show is officially billed as a miniseries, so we can expect a fairly neat bow on the plot threads introduced, although Elba has said he would be "open" to a continuation if a compelling opportunity presented itself.
"I’m not sure," he told Variety before the SAG-AFTRA strike. "I’d like that, but I just don’t want to put him on another hijack. I’m open to that character coming back. I think if people were compelled to like the character, then I’m in."
Joining Elba in the stacked cast for the high-stakes thriller are the likes of Emmy Award-winning Archie Panjabi, Christine Adams, Max Beesley, Eve Myles and more.
The series has benefitted from its weekly episode release schedule, keeping it in conversation for the past month, but just when can we expect the finale to land?
