When will the Prime Video sci-fi be back for another season?
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.
From the director of Bodyguard, the series stars actors Iain Glen, Martin Compston and Mark Bonnar alongside Schitt's Creek's Emily Hampshire and Game of Thrones' Mark Addy as oil rig workers who get stranded when an inexplicable fog descends and cuts off their communications to the outside world.
It's been described as "horribly plausible" by cast member Iain Glen, who plays the rig boss Magnus.
With the show ending on a cliffhanger of sorts, many fans have wondered when we might get to see a season 2.
So, read on for everything you need to know about The Rig season 2 after it was renewed.
The Rig season 2 will be released all at once on 2nd January 2025 - so very soon!
The Rig was renewed for season 2 in January 2023, shortly after season 1 was released.
We're expecting to see plenty of returning cast members as well as some new faces in The Rig season 2.
The cast list as it stands is below:
One character whose fate is less certain is Baz, played by Calvin Demba. He appeared to fade into the spores of the ancestor at the end of the season, meaning even though the rig was destroyed with him still onboard at the end, he could potentially return as a physical embodiment of the ancestor in the future.
There'll be six episodes of The Rig season 2, with all episodes dropping at once.

The Rig is available to stream on Prime Video. Season 2 coming soon.
