What Does The Trailer Say?
Given that Hijack’s first trailer was released just a month ago, during the month of May 2023 and that the video has already received over 3 million views, it is reasonable to conclude that people are already anticipating this suspenseful thriller.
Hijack has a total of seven episodes, which corresponds to the seven-hour journey between Dubai and London that takes place during the course of the show. Real-time storytelling just heightens the stress; a weekly release schedule would help keep viewers guessing as to how things will turn out. On Wednesday, August 2, Hijack’s last episode is scheduled for release.
Episodes Now and Ahead
The first two episodes of the show will be available on Apple TV tonight, June 28, followed by new episodes every Wednesday.
So far, we have witnessed the hijacking begin and the passengers being pushed to their absolute limits, with those on the ground being completely unaware of the drama taking place above them.
Will the anti-terrorism team, however, be able to assist the KA29 passengers? We’ll have to keep watching to find out, but if you’re curious, keep reading to learn all there is to know about Hijack’s upcoming episodes.
