Amazon renews The Rig for second series

February 24, 2023 by Gary Collinson

Amazon has announced that it has renewed the UK Original supernatural drama The Rig for a second series, with filming set to take place later this year in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Premiering on Prime Video last month, The Rig follows the crew of a North Sea oil rig stationed off the Scottish coast as a mysterious supernatural fog enshrouds them.

“It was always my aim to build a story that starts in Scotland but speaks to a global audience about global themes,” said David Macpherson, writer and creator. “In Series Two, I’m looking forward to expanding the world of our show through the eyes of our excellent cast, as we deliver more shocks and thrills and delve deeper into both our characters’ and our show’s expanding original mythology.”

“The Rig’s popularity around the world is a testament to the fantastic ensemble cast and the vision of the creators—the crew behind the crew,” said Dan Grabiner, head of Originals UK & Northern Europe, Prime Video. “We can’t wait to welcome back Iain, Martin, and Emily, and see what writer and creator David Macpherson has in store for the Kinloch Bravo team next.”

Series two of The Rig 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), and Stuart McQuarrie (Des). New cast additions will also be announced soon.

The first series of The Rig is available to stream now on Prime Video.
