First-look photos offer a sneak peek into season 2 of the highly anticipated thriller The Rig, which sees the return of fan favourite actors Iain Glenn (Game of Thrones), Martin Compston (Line of Duty), Emily Hampshire (Schitt’s Creek), and Owen Teale (Game of Thrones) alongside new faces Ross Anderson (The Last Kingdom), Phil McKee (Deadwater Fell), Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (The Queen’s Gambit), Johannes Roaldsen Fürst (Hvite gutter) and Alice Krige (Star Trek).
Following the devastating tsunami that destroyed the Kinloch Bravo, season two sees the surviving crew airlifted to a new secret offshore facility called the Stac, nestled deep in the extraordinary and deadly landscapes of the Arctic Circle.
At the Stac, the trapped crew deal with the emotional and physical fallout of the tsunami and contend with swirling conspiracies, corporate conflicts, and new threats from the dark depths of the world’s oceans. This six-part series continues to explore global themes, takes audiences to spectacular new environments and delves into the frontiers of cutting-edge ocean technology, including the controversial world of deep-sea mining.
The series is produced by Wild Mercury Productions (part of Banijay UK), written by David Macpherson & Meg Salter (Episode 4) and directed by John Strickland (Line of Duty, Bodyguard) and Alex Holmes (The Letter for the King). The executive producers are Derek Wax, David Macpherson, and John Strickland. The series producer is Suzanne Reid, and the co-producer is Matt Brown.
The Rig will return to Prime Video in January 2025.
