Idris Elba rejoint Ted Lasso sur Apple TV+ pour un exploit impressionnant.
Idris Elba’s “Hijack” Achieves Major Milestone on Apple TV+
Launched on Apple TV+, the series “Hijack” starring Idris Elba has reached a significant milestone by ranking among the Top 10 shows of the week, with a total of 357 million minutes viewed. This achievement makes “Hijack” the second Apple TV+ series to accomplish this feat, following the success of “Ted Lasso”.
An Exciting Thriller with a Star-Studded Cast
“Hijack” features a star-studded cast, including Idris Elba, Neil Maskell, Eve Myles, Christine Adams, Max Beesley, Archie Panjabi, Ben Miles, and Kate Phillips. The show, which aired from June 28 to August 2, follows the gripping story of Sam Nelson (played by Idris Elba), a skilled business negotiator who must use his expertise to prevent a hijacking during a seven-hour flight from Dubai to London.
Hijack Joins the Top 10
According to the Nielsen streaming ratings for the week of July 31 to August 6, the first season of “Hijack” secured a place in the Top 10 shows of the week, with a total of 357 million minutes viewed. This achievement is a significant milestone for Apple TV+, as it marks only the second time that an original series from the streaming service has made it onto the prestigious list, following the tremendous success of “Ted Lasso”.
The Quest for Another Apple TV+ Blockbuster
Apple TV+ has been making its mark in the streaming world with a wide range of compelling shows, even if they haven’t always broken into the Top 10. Despite strong competition from platforms like Netflix and Prime Video, Apple TV+ has managed to generate buzz with shows such as “Mythic Quest,” “Schmigadoon,” “Shrinking,” “The Afterparty,” “The Morning Show,” “Severance,” and “The Crowded Room.”
What Lies ahead for Apple TV+?
With more than two dozen scripted series currently in development, Apple TV+ has a promising future. The streaming platform has attracted celebrated creators like Seth Rogen, Taika Waititi, and Vince Gilligan (the creator of “Breaking Bad”). It remains to be seen which of these upcoming shows will follow in the footsteps of “Ted Lasso” and “Hijack.”
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters
One highly anticipated series that could potentially climb the charts like “Hijack” is “Monarch: Legacy of Monsters,” set to premiere later this year. Part of the MonsterVerse franchise, which includes blockbuster films like “Godzilla” and “Godzilla vs. Kong,” “Monarch” has generated attention for its cast, with both Kurt and Wyatt Russell playing the same character in different timelines spanning several decades.
