The new show stars Idris Elba (who also executive produced the series) as Sam Nelson, a corporate negotiator whose travels get an unexpected disturbance. When he boards a seven-hour flight from Dubai to London, the plane gets hijacked. It’s then that Elba’s character comes in and attempts to use his negotiating skills to help him and his fellow passengers get home alive.
Other characters include DI Daniel O’Farrel (Max Beesley), First Officer Anna Kovacs (Kaisa Hammarlund), Zahar Gahfoor (Archie Panjabi), Eve Myles (Alice Sinclair) and more.
Those familiar with the show 24 may recognize similarities between the plots, but, with the help of director Jim Field Smith, Apple TV+’s version will be filled with new twists and turns you’ll have to see to believe.

It’s a full house! Chrissy Teigen and John Legend announced that they have welcomed their fourth child, a baby boy via surrogate.
“For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted four children,” the cookbook author began her lengthy Instagram post sharing the happy news on Wednesday (June 28). She went on to recall how as a child, she’d often have “2 glow worms and 2 cabbage patch dolls” in her arms, and how her mom would peek in Pound Puppies packaging before buying to make sure little Chrissy would get a stuffed pooch that had four puppies in its pouch.
“After losing Jack, I didn’t think I’d be able to carry on any more babies on my own,” she continued about losing the little boy when she was 20 weeks pregnant in 2020. “To be honest, I’ve personally blocked out a lot of my mindset during that time, but one clear memory is being surrounded by people who wanted to make sure I wouldn’t go through that pain and loss again.”
The model went on to share that she and husband Legend reached out to a surrogate agency in 2021. Teigen said that after a therapy session one day, she told the singer-songwriter that she wanted to try to carry a baby one more time. “If it doesn’t work, we will be okay. We’ve already seen the worst,” she wrote. “I promised I would be okay no matter what happened. I remember saying I just couldn’t go on wondering my whole life if I should have tried again.”
With the process of IVF — which the couple also employed when becoming pregnant with daughter Luna and son Miles — Teigen became pregnant with baby girl Esti, whom the couple welcomed in January. The TV personality shared that around the time she became pregnant, they met their surrogate, a woman named Alexandra who has since become a close friend.
“As we crept toward the safe zone of my own pregnancy, we were overjoyed to learn Alexandra had become pregnant with a little boy,” Teigen revealed. “Our little boy. We ate hot pot to celebrate, watched Vanderpump Rules with our growing bellies, our families blending into one for the past year.”
“Just minutes before midnight on June 19th, I got to witness the most beautiful woman, my friend, our surrogate, give birth amidst a bit of chaos, but with strength and pure joy and love,” Teigen continued, thanking Alexandra for the “incredible gift.”
“We are so happy to tell the world he is here, with a name forever connected to you, Wren Alexander Stephens,” Teigen concluded. “Our hearts, and our home, are officially full. And to our Jack, we know both their angel kisses are from you.”
The final three images of Teigen’s carousel post were photos of herself kissing Alexandra’s baby bump, the couple snuggling with their newborn, and — saving the best for last — a picture of baby Wren and his glorious spiky mane of hair.
Legend also shared the happy news on his own Instagram account. His post featured a photo of the star with all four of his children — the two youngest in his arms, with Luna doing a high kick behind him, and Miles on his lap. He captioned his post by introducing his new son: “Wren Alexander Stephens, our new love.”

With so many kids, it’s a wonder how Nick Cannon evenly splits his time between his children. But according to Bre Tiesi, Selling Sunset star and mother to her and Cannon’s son Legendary Love, co-parenting is not that complicated.
“So, here’s the thing that I know everyone wants to argue with me about — but he makes his own schedule. He can show up every day, when he stops from work. He can come at night,” Tiesi said in a Tuesday (June 27) interview with Entertainment Tonight. “So, he’s here every week, and especially when he’s home, he’s here. So, it’s not a set schedule, we don’t have to plan things, but he’s very present and he’s at anything and everything I ask him to be at. So, I’m very happy. He’s very supportive.”
While some may consider it a unique arrangement, Tiesi finds it to be one that works well for her. “I don’t really feel like there’s anything to adjust to, because I kind of make it however I want. So, I have a nanny during the day. Or, like, the other night, I had to run out and actually show Saweetie a property, and I said, ‘Nick, I need you at 7 p.m. I don’t know what you’re doing, but you’ll be here at 7,’ and he was there,” she added. “So, I don’t really feel like I am struggling or missing anything. It’s all about just communicating and he’s really accommodating, and he’s very helpful. And that man has never told me no.”
The Masked Singer host also shares twins Monroe and Moroccan with ex-wife Mariah Carey; twin sons Zion and Zillion, as well as daughter Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa; Golden Sagon, Powerful Queen and Rise Messiah with Brittany Bell; Zen — who died in December 2021 — and Halo Marie with Alyssa Scott; and Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole.
Meanwhile, Tiesi and Cannon’s plans to expand their family are yet to be determined. For the time being, she would like to focus as much attention as she can on their son. “He’s open to whatever, always, but I just — I feel like if I can’t do it a 100 percent, I don’t want to do that,” the reality television star explained to ET. “I don’t want to take more attention away from my son than I already do, working like I do, so I’m really trying to figure out how to manage that, and I think adding in another aspect of another human would be very hard.”

Jennifer Lawrence may have had a short-lived romance with Liam Hemsworth in The Hunger Games, but offscreen, she wasn’t playing any games. In her Monday (June 26) appearance on Watch What Happens Live, the No Hard Feelings star finally addressed speculation that she and Hemsworth hooked up while the actor was still in a relationship with Miley Cyrus.
Playing a round of “Plead the Fifth” on the talk show, host Andy Cohen cut right to the chase by asking Lawrence whether there was any weight to rumors that Cyrus subtly shaded her earlier this year by sporting a figure-hugging gold dress, similar to one worn by the actress at a Hunger Games red carpet premiere in 2012, in the “Flowers” music video. Some fans took the look as Cyrus calling out Lawrence for having a fling with the singer’s now ex-husband.
Suffice to say, Lawrence did not plead the fifth, instead eagerly cutting off Cohen before he’d even finished the question to respond.
“Not true,” she said, according to Entertainment Tonight. “I would love to [respond], it’s not true. Total rumor.”
The Don’t Look Up alum previously insinuated that she and Hemsworth had locked lips behind the scenes, which some fans took at the time as “proof” the two costars had an affair. But on Monday night, Lawrence insisted to Cohen that there was no overlap between their kiss and Hemsworth’s on again, off again romance with Cyrus.
“I mean, we all know that me and Liam, like, kissed one time,” said Lawrence, who’s now married and shares a son with art gallery director Cooke Maroney. “But it was years after they broke up.”
“So I just assume that was like a coincidence,” she added of Cyrus’ gold dress.
But while the gold dress may have been just that — a gold dress — there is a pretty compelling case to be made that Cyrus was shading Hemsworth with “Flowers.” For instance, the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper was released not so subtly on the Last Song star’s 33rd birthday.
Anyway, during her appearance on WWHL, Lawrence also spoke about another female pop star: her friend Adele. When asked by fans calling in to the show to rate how drunk she was when she and the “Easy on Me” vocalist famously went out together in 2019 to Pieces, a gay bar in New York City, she replied: “10 out of 10 hammered.”
