Prime Video has today announced the premiere date for the upcoming second season of its original drama series The Rig.
All six episodes of the second season will be available on Thursday, January 2.
The new season sees the surviving crew of the Kinloch Bravo arrive at 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 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.
Returning cast members include Iain Glen, Martin Compston, Emily Hampshire, Rochenda Sandall, Owen Teale, Mark Addy, Molly Vevers, Abraham Popoola, Nikhil Parmar and Stuart McQuarrie.
New cast additions are Ross Anderson, Phil McKee, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Johannes Roaldsen Fürst and Alice Krige.
David Macpherson created the drama. He executive produces with Derek Wax and director John Strickland. Amazon MGM Studios and Wild Mercury Productions produce.
