We chat with Hijack executive producer Hakan Kousetta about what went down in the finale of the appletv series, his collaboration with Idris Elba, and the possibility of a second season:
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary In Hijack, skilled corporate negotiator Sam Nelson is on a seven-hour flight from Dubai to London that gets hijacked by a group of criminals. Sam must use his negotiating skills to try to keep himself and the other passengers alive while also thinking of strategies to retake control of the plane.
Yeah, I watched it a couple of times because I watched the screeners originally when we got them early, and then I've been watching it week by week as it comes out still. And Apple had introduced us to Jim and George and sort of said, "Look, you guys should work together on this idea, because we think it's really cool." So we started that process, and it was in the middle of lockdown when we couldn't physically spend any time with each other and not definitely not in enclosed rooms anyway. And so we'd meet in the park and have conversations about the show and walk these miles and miles around London parks to do it.
But I've described Georgia as a bit like a sort of Swiss clock maker. He's brilliant at putting these sort of intricate elements together, that all kind of work and function brilliantly well. And I think one of those elements for the show was this idea that you would sort of shock and surprise in each chapter of the story, there'll be something that you didn't foresee and something you didn't expect.
Hakan Kousetta: Yeah, I think there was a lot of debate about that part of the story. How we would end the story because that often is the way with these things it's like, how do you end that story? Especially with a show, that's a closed ended series and I think the overall feeling was that we've been on such an emotional journey with the characters and as you've seen in the show, it actually does get quite emotional towards the end.
