The little details do matter in a long series for Hijack on Apple TV+.
With dozens of cast and extras for seven episodes, costume designer Colleen Morris-Glennon must ensure the consistency of the clothing styles worn on the fateful flight and the cultural styles of the characters in many countries.
There is also a certain approach to choosing the right outfit for the lead actor Idris Elba as the corporate negotiator trying to save everyone on the flight.
Here is the official synopsis:
When Flight KA29 is hijacked during its seven-hour journey from Dubai to London, Sam Nelson—an accomplished corporate negotiator—tries using his professional skills to save everyone on board. Will this high-risk strategy be his undoing?
The series also stars Neil Maskell, Mas Beesley, and Ben Miles.
