The Rig Season 2 Trailer Takes the Crew to the Stac
Prime Video has released the official trailer for The Rig Season 2, which will debut on the streaming service on January 2, 2025.
The six-part The Rig Season 2 was filmed at First Stage Studios in Edinburgh, Scotland. The first season premiered in 2023 and became a UK and international hit.
In the new season, 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 contends with swirling conspiracies, corporate conflicts, and new threats from the dark depths of the world’s ocean.
The second season 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).
The new cast members include 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).
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.
