Apple TV+ has achieved a milestone with its series “Hijack,” becoming the second-ever show from the platform to make waves in streaming rankings. From July 31-August 6, “Hijack” secured a notable position, showcasing its impact in the streaming landscape. Led by Idris Elba, the thriller follows corporate negotiator Sam Nelson’s efforts to save a hijacked flight from Dubai to London. There are tons of espionage, action, and scenes that inject adrenaline into you.
The series recorded a remarkable 357 million viewing minutes during its finale week, claiming the eighth spot among original series. Notably, “Hijack” is the first Apple TV+ show beyond “Ted Lasso” to break into the weekly top 10 rankings. This achievement demonstrates Apple TV+’s versatility in attracting diverse viewers. Mind you, this data is from Nielson which is pretty reliable.
As “Hijack” soared, the resurgence of “The Lincoln Lawyer” and more notably “Suits” is worth knowing. Suits was the most watched TV show last week. The show has been insanely popular for the last one month even though it is years old.
In conclusion, “Hijack” has etched its place in streaming history, exemplifying Apple TV+’s capability to produce captivating shows that captivate audiences and broaden its content portfolio. With its unique premise and stellar performances, “Hijack” paves the way for Apple TV+ to continue delivering diverse and enthralling entertainment.
