Prime Video Releases “First Look” At ‘The Rig’ Season 2, Premiering January 2025

by Dave Elliott

Prime Video has released some “first look” images of The Rig Season 2, which is set to premiere in January 2025 on the streaming service.

Season one of ‘The Rig’ introduced us to the crew of the Kinloch Bravo oil rig stationed off the Scottish coast in the dangerous waters of the North Sea. When they were due to be collected and returned to the mainland, a mysterious and all-enveloping fog rolled through. The rig is hit by massive tremors, and they find themselves cut off from all communication with the shore and the outside world.

As we return for season two, 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 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).

If you want to know more about ‘The Rig’, keep your eyes on our YouTube page this week as the cast and crew from the series appeared on a panel at MCM Comic Con this weekend, and we will be posting some videos.

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‘ Season 2 does not have an exact premiere date yet, but will air in January 2025 on Prime Video UK and around the world. If you want to keep track of this or any other show, you can add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when it gets a UK premiere date.
