One of the first big dramas of the year, The Rig, has now been released. With Game of Thrones’ Iain Glen and Line of Duty’s Martin Compston leading the cast, the new six-parter is not short of star power.
Telling the story of oil workers stranded in the North Sea, the new series gives an abnormal look at life on the rigs. It has been created and written by Scottish newcomer, David Macpherson. John Strickland, who worked as a director on Line of Duty and Hustle, directed all six episodes of the series.
But what is the series all about, who’s in the cast and how can you watch? Here’s everything that you need to know.
