Hijack Season 2 Trailer

Hijack Season 2 trailer opens with Idris Elba's Sam stepping into dangerous boundaries once again. He gets on the hijacked train in Berlin even before the authorities can alert him or the passengers. However, it looks like he's not only on the radar of the hijackers, but this time, the authorities grow suspicious of his motives. Sam warns the authorities,

"This train has been hijacked. There are over 200 passengers. If you do not do exactly what they say, then we will all die."

The authorities aren't stepping back; they think Sam's obsessed as one of the utters.

"He spent a year putting this together. Every detail. He's obsessed. He wants what, Justice? or Revenge?"

Whether he's genuinely helping the passengers on board or whether it's a revenge plan remains a mystery as of now. But one thing's for sure, expect tense moments and cliffhangers in this season of Hijack.

Here's the cast for Season 2:

• Idris Elba
• Christine Adams
• Archie Panjabi
• Max Beesley
• Christine Nathe
• Lisa Vicari
• Toby Jones
• Christiane Paul
• Karima McAdams
• Clare-Hope Ashitey

Season 2 returns with a new crisis and a new setting. Season 1 was all about a hijacked plane. It was tight and tense. Season 2 isn't repeating the exact format. It changes the setting; the danger moves underground. This time, the story unfolds in Berlin's subway, where hundreds of commuters become hostages. Sam Nelson once again stands at the centre. However, this time his motives aren't quite clear. Authorities do not fully trust him, and this uncertainty gives the story a sharp edge.
