Prime Video Shares First Look at S2 of The Rig

Prime Video have unveiled the first look at series two of the highly-anticipated thriller, The Rig. The six-part series is set to premiere January 2025 and was filmed at First Stage Studios in Edinburgh, Scotland. The first series of The Rig premiered in 2023 and became a UK and  international hit.

The second series will see the return of Iain Glen (Game of Thrones), Martin Compston (Line of Duty), Emily Hampshire (Schitt’s Creek), Rochenda Sandall (Criminal: UK), Owen Teale (Game of Thrones), Mark Addy (Game of Thrones), Molly Vevers (The Spanish Princess), Abraham Popoola (Cruella), Nikhil Parmar (Foundation) and Stuart McQuarrie (Des), 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).

Helicopters have taken the surviving crew of the Kinloch Bravo to a new secret offshore facility called the Stac, nestled deep in the extraordinary and deadly landscapes of the Arctic Circle. Here, the trapped crew must deal with the emotional and physical fallout of the devastating tsunami that destroyed the Bravo, and contend with swirling conspiracies, corporate conflicts, and new threats from the dark depths of the world’s ocean. The second series will continue exploring global themes –  weaving together the past, present, and future of the planet while taking the viewer to spectacular environments and drawing on the frontiers of cutting edge ocean technology – including the controversial world of deep sea mining. David Macpherson has created a new story that delivers epic thrills and gripping action for a compelling cast of characters, both returning and new.

‘The deep ocean contains over 95% of the life-supporting space on our planet and we still explore it with candle light. We have no idea how much more there is to see’

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.
