‘The Rig’ Renewed By Amazon; Martin Compston, Iain Glen & Emily Hampshire Reprise Roles
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Amazon is returning to The Rig for a second season. Prime Video’s supernatural thriller will begin shooting again in Edinburgh, Scotland, later this year, with Martin Compston (Line of Duty), Iain Glen (Game of Thrones), and Emily Hampshire (Schitt’s Creek) among the cast reprising their roles.
The first season premiered in January and told the story of the Kishorn Bravo oil rig, stationed off the Scottish coast, which is enveloped in a mysterious fog that cuts off all lines of communication.
Season 2 will follow the surviving Kinloch Bravo crew as they are helicoptered off the rig and taken to a new location, where fresh danger awaits.
They must contend with swirling conspiracies, conflicts, and new threats from the depths of the world’s oceans. Banijay-backed Wild Mercury Productions produces The Rig and filming takes place at First Stage Studios.
