Apple TV Show Ousts “Hijack” in Streaming Battle

pple TV+’s global charts, according to FlixPatrol, dethroning Hijack and pushing it to the second place. In the United States, the series landed at No. 2, sitting behind Shrinking. Its debut bumped Hijack down to the No. 3 spot domestically. Before the shake-up, Hijack had been holding the No. 2 position in the U.S. rankings.

Hijack, starring Idris Elba, runs for seven episodes and plays out in real time. Elba leads the thriller as Sam Nelson, a sharp corporate negotiator. Most of the action stays locked inside a hijacked flight traveling from Dubai to London, keeping the pressure high from start to finish. The series mixes intense negotiations with ticking-clock drama and features a supporting cast including Archie Panjabi and Christine Adams.

Meanwhile, The Last Thing He Told Me, led by Jennifer Garner, continues to pull solid numbers. The mystery drama follows Hannah, a woman whose world flips overnight when her husband suddenly vanishes. The series streams on Apple TV+ and continues to ride the momentum of its first season. Season 2 leans into darker turns and deeper twists, keeping viewers interested.

When a long-awaited new season drops, it usually pulls in a wave of fresh viewers and bumps older titles down the list for a while. It doesn’t automatically mean the earlier hit is losing steam. It mostly shows how platforms track recent viewing momentum.

Both series perform well for Apple TV+. Idris Elba remains a strong audience draw, especially after fan-favorite work like Luther, while Jennifer Garner continues her steady TV comeback and keeps viewers hooked.
