SERIES SEASON TWO STARTS THIS JANUARY

The Rig returns January 2nd to Prime Video

The first season aired at the beginning of January 2023, so it has been almost two years since then, but the second season of the deeply suspense- ful apoca- lyptic series THE RIG is now returning January 2nd, 2025 and Prime Video has sent us the new posters after the recent first trailer which you can see below the post! Iain Glenn, Martin Compston, Emily Hampshire and Owen Teale all return to the cast alongside newcomers Ross Anderson, Phil McKee, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Johannes Roaldsen Fürst and Alice Krige (The Borg queen from Star Trek series). As you remember, the series followed workers on an isolated North Sea oil rig, who experience a disruption to their communications as a mysterious fog begins to surround them. And then something dangerous starts appearing from the very depths of the ocean! Is Mother Nature angry, is ruined climate fighting back or are some ancient alien creatures waking up hungry and angry after centuries of sleep?
