Hijack | Colleen Morris-Glennon on the Costume Strategy for Series

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.
