As a lifelong movie enthusiast with over four decades of cinematic adventures under my belt, I can confidently say that The Rig has easily become one of the most gripping and suspenseful series I’ve watched in recent years. The first season left us all hanging with its tantalizing cliffhanger, and I couldn’t be more excited for the second installment!
Supernatural thriller The Rig dropped on Prime Video last year, enthralling viewers with its various twists and turns and stellar cast. Now, season 2 is on the way.
The show is directed by the same person behind Bodyguard, and it features actors such as Iain Glen, Martin Compston, Mark Bonnar, Emily Hampshire from Schitt’s Creek, and Mark Addy from Game of Thrones. They portray oil rig workers who find themselves stranded when a mysterious fog envelops their area, severing all communication links to the outside world.
As the character Magnus, played by Iain Glen, puts it, it’s “uncomfortably believable.
Ever since the series concluded with an unresolved plot point, numerous viewers have been curious about when another season could potentially air.
So, read on for everything you need to know about The Rig season 2 after it was renewed.
The Rig season 2 release date speculation
In simpler terms, we’re expecting to see the second season of “The Rig” some time in January 2025. However, the specific launch date hasn’t been announced just yet – rest assured, it’ll be here before you know it!
The Rig was renewed for season 2 in January 2023, shortly after season 1 was released.
The Rig season 2 cast: Who will return?
In The Rig’s second season, we anticipate the return of many familiar actors, along with some fresh ones joining the crew.
The cast list as it stands is below:
- Iain Glen as Magnus MacMillan
- Emily Hampshire as Rose Mason
- Martin Compston as Fulmer Hamilton
- Owen Teale as Lars Hutton
- Rochenda Sandall as Cat Braithwaite
- Stuart McQuarrie as Colin Murchison
- Abraham Popoola as Easter Ayodeji
- Molly Vevers as Heather Shaw
- Mark Addy as David Coake
- Nikhil Parmar as Harish
- Alice Krige as TBC
- Jacob Fortune-Lloyd as TBC
- Ross Anderson as TBC Phil McKee as TBC
- Johannes Roaldsen Fürst as TBC
One character whose return is somewhat ambiguous is Baz, portrayed by Calvin Demba. Towards the end of the season, it seemed like he merged with the spores of his ancestor, which suggests that although the rig was destroyed while he was still onboard at the end, there’s a possibility he could reappear in a physical form as an embodiment of the ancestor in future episodes.
Is there a trailer for The Rig season 2?
At present, there’s no teaser for The Rig season 2 out, but rest assured, we’ll be keeping this page informed if any fresh clips surface in the future.
