<![CDATA[Hijack Season 2: Everything We Know About The Future Of Apple & Idris Elba's High Altitude Thriller]]> Hijack season 2 is a possibility now that the breakout Apple TV Plus thriller has ended, and Idris Elba has said he is more than interested in returning to the role in a second season. The first season of the Apple TV Plus saw Elba play Sam Nelson, a corporate business investigator who ended up on a plane going from Dubai to London that was hijacked by organized crime members acting as terrorists. Sam then has to find a way to negotiate a peaceful landing before things spiral out of control while assassins in the ground are taking out several people involved. Combining Idris Elba with a high-octane action premise is a clear fit, so much so that there was already intrigue in Hijack season 2 before season 1 had concluded.

As one of the highest-rated and most popular Disney+ Marvel shows, prospective viewers are naturally excited to see a follow-up season, especially after the Loki season 2 trailer teased an adventure through time as well as the multiverse.

Some of those problems are somewhat inevitable: after 40 releases, the level of continuity homework is beyond the capability of any creative team, so it makes sense that some things slip. That is exacerbated when you bring in things like Avengers: Endgame's 5 year time jump, MCU post-credits scenes seemingly appearing out of linear order, and Marvel's more recent attempts to avoid outright stating within releases when their events are actually happening.
