Hijack executive producer Hakan Kousetta on if Idris Elba will return for Season 2: 'We talk about it — but yeah, we’ll have to wait and see. I’m never gonna say no.'

“Will Kingdom Airlines Flight 29 land safely?” is the question that “Hijack” fans have been asking since the moment arch negotiator Sam Nelson first spotted a suspicious-looking toiletry bag being passed from one passenger to another in the aircraft’s plush first class cabin.

In TV terms, it was quite a quick process. We developed the project and got it going, and we were quite quick to get a green light from Apple off the back of that. George is an incredibly talented writer — he created “Lupin,” and him and Jim worked together on “Criminal” for Netflix — so George is very good. I compare him to a Swiss watchmaker: He’s amazing at these really intricate storylines interspersed with really great characterizations.

We discussed it a lot. There was always a desire that there would be a resolution that wouldn’t be completely deflating and disappointing, and sort of a miserable ending. That wasn’t something we were ever contemplating. Hijacks don’t really happen, and this is entertainment, right? We’re stretching the credibility of reality. But you want to also stay within the boundaries of what’s possible, and not just insult everyone’s intelligence so you’re always walking that tightrope.
