Hijack fans are curious about the show’s renewal status for Season 3. Following the recent conclusion of its second season, here’s everything we know so far about the future of this popular thriller.

Is Hijack canceled or renewed for Season 3 on Apple TV?

Currently, Apple TV has neither canceled nor renewed Hijack for a third season.

Hijack released its second season on January 14, 2026. Since then, Apple TV has not provided any updates regarding its future. The decision to renew a show typically depends on various factors, including critical acclaim and audience reception. Hijack has consistently received positive reviews and strong viewership numbers throughout both seasons.

This gives fans hope that the show may return for a third installment. However, there is also a possibility that Apple TV could decide to cancel it. For now, fans await an official confirmation.

There is some optimism for fans. Just before the premiere of Hijack Season 2, creator and executive producer Jim Field Smith expressed his willingness to bring back Hijack for another season. In an interview with TV Insider, he stated, “All I can do when I’m telling a story is to focus on telling that story to the best of my ability. That’s what I’m continuing to do right now with Season 2, and we’re looking forward to getting it out there.”

Field further mentioned, “And look, could Sam Nelson find himself having another of the worst days of his life? I’m sure he could. He seems to be a guy that stumbles into bad luck, and I love working with Idris, and whether it was more of this show or something else, I’m sure the collaboration will lead to more.”

Hijack is a thriller series featuring Idris Elba as Sam Nelson, a lawyer and business negotiator who must leverage his persuasive skills to resolve a hijacking on a flight. The series also stars Christine Adams, Max Beesley, Albrecht Schuch, Christian Näthe, Clare-Hope Ashitey, and others.
