Quick Answer: Hijack Season 2 starring Idris Elba is streaming exclusively on Apple TV+. In the UAE, that's AED 27.99/month with a 7-day free trial. New episodes drop weekly on Wednesdays. No other platform carries it — not Netflix, not OSN+, not Shahid.

Where to Watch Hijack Season 2
Hijack Season 2 streams exclusively on Apple TV+. It is an Apple Original series and is not available on any other streaming platform, including Netflix, Disney+, OSN+, or Shahid VIP.
Here's the full breakdown:
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Platform | Apple TV+ (exclusive) |
| UAE price | AED 27.99/month |
| Free trial | 7 days for new subscribers |
| Alternative access | Apple TV+ add-on through Amazon Prime Video (same price) |
| Apple One bundle | Includes Apple TV+ with Apple Music, Arcade, and iCloud+ |
| Subtitles | Arabic, plus 25+ other languages |
| Video quality | Up to 4K HDR with Dolby Vision |
If you recently bought an Apple device — iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV 4K — check your account for an unclaimed 3-month free Apple TV+ offer. A surprising number of people let that one expire without realizing it's there.
Is Hijack Season 2 Free to Watch?
Hijack Season 2 is not free, but Apple TV+ offers a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. That's enough to catch a couple of episodes and decide if you're in.
If you time your trial right toward the end of the season, you could technically binge most of it in that window. I'm not saying I endorse that strategy. I'm just saying the math works.
There's no free-with-ads tier on Apple TV+ — it's one price, no ads, full library access.
Can I Watch Hijack Season 2 in the UAE?
Yes. Hijack Season 2 is fully available on Apple TV+ in the UAE with no geo-restrictions. Episodes premiere globally on the same day — Wednesdays — which means they typically land early Wednesday morning UAE time. Arabic subtitles are available from launch day.
Apple TV+ is accessible in the UAE through the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV 4K, as well as smart TVs from Samsung, LG, and Sony, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, and any browser at tv.apple.com.
No VPN needed, no workarounds required. If you're in the UAE, it just works.
What Is Hijack Season 2 About?
Hijack Season 2 follows Sam Nelson (Idris Elba) as he's caught in a hostage crisis on a Berlin underground train, two years after the events of Season 1. The crisis ties directly into his personal life and past decisions, making this season feel higher-stakes on a character level.
Season 1 put Sam on a hijacked plane from Dubai to London. Season 2? A packed Berlin U-Bahn train with armed hostage-takers. This man should really look into private cars.
The shift from plane to train changes the dynamics in interesting ways — tighter spaces, Berlin police adding chaos above ground, and a more personal motivation driving Sam this time. It's currently sitting at 73% on Rotten Tomatoes versus Season 1's 90%, but Elba remains completely magnetic in the role and the tension is still very real.
The season also stars Neil Maskell, Lisa Vicari, Toby Jones, and Christian Näthe, with returning cast members Archie Panjabi and Christine Adams.

Do I Need to Watch Hijack Season 1 First?
Watching Hijack Season 1 first is recommended but not strictly required. Season 2 sets up its own standalone crisis, but the emotional weight of Sam's decisions — and the personal stakes driving the Berlin situation — hit much harder if you've seen what he went through on Flight KA29.
Season 1 is seven tight episodes of real-time tension and it's genuinely excellent. Both seasons live on Apple TV+, so there's no extra cost or platform-hopping involved. If you've got a free trial or a weekend to burn, start there.
