Scots drama The Rig is returning for a second series, it has been confirmed.
Martin Compston, Iain Glen, and Emily Hampshire are all expected to start filming series two later this year in Edinburgh, following the success of The Devil’s Hour.
Helicopters have taken the surviving crew of the Kinloch Bravo to a bold new location, where new dangers await them.
The crew will have to deal with the emotional and physical fallout of the epic Series One finale and contend with swirling conspiracies, conflicts, and new threats from the dark depths of the world’s oceans it has unleashed.
Series two will continue exploring global themes about the past, present, and future of the planet, all while delivering epic thrills and gripping action for its compelling cast of characters.
Production will return to FirstStage Studios in the capital with filming due to start later this year. The new series will launch exclusively on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories.
Dan Grabiner, head of Originals UK & Northern Europe, Prime Video, said: “The Rig's popularity around the world is a testament to the fantastic ensemble cast and the vision of the creators - the crew behind the crew.”
“We can’t wait to welcome back Iain, Martin, and Emily, and see what writer and creator David Macpherson has in store for the Kinloch Bravo team next.”
