Hijack season 2 release schedule: When is episode 8 on Apple TV?
Idris Elba is back for more Hijack action – but when is the season 2 finale being released?
We're careering towards the endpoint now for the second season of Hijack – and things remain tense for Sam Nelson (Idris Elba).
This week's penultimate episode sees Sam trying to outsmart the police once again, but he's gambling on quite the dangerous tactic in order to do so. With forces on the ground in both the UK and Germany, it's all about trying to stay two steps ahead – but if the season so far has proved anything, it's that it's far from easy to do so.
This season has already pulled off plenty of surprises in its fresh setting of a Berlin underground train, not least the surprise return of a season 1 villain.
Neil Maskell's Stuart continues to appear in this second instalment of Hijack, remaining ever illusive as Daniel initially tried to figure out what strings were being pulled that had landed Sam in this mess to begin with.
With only one episode left of the season, fans will likely be wondering just how this series will wrap up. But when will that finale land on Apple TV? Read on for everything you need to know.
