The Swedish thriller series “Hostage” (Kapningen), based on Fredrika Bergman’s novel, will premiere in the US and Canada on November 1st via the PBS Masterpiece Prime Video Channel.
A follow-up to the series “Sthlm Rekviem,” also adapted from Bergman’s work, “Hostage” centers on a remotely hijacked flight from Stockholm to San Francisco. The hijackers’ demands include the release of a Lebanese professor held in Stockholm and the publication of classified documents, raising the stakes as the threat of the plane being destroyed looms.
Criminologist Fredrika Bergman (Liv Mjönes) and investigator Alex Recht team up once again to identify the hijackers before the plane is either blown up or shot down by the US military. As the plot thickens, Bergman suspects the truth may be closer than she initially thought.
The six-episode series also stars Ana Gil de Melo Nascimento, Adam Lundgren, Gustaf Hammarsten, Görel Crona, Hannes Fohlin, and Zardasht Rad.
