Line of Duty star's 'gripping' thriller drops first look at all new season on Prime Video
Prime Video has unveiled the eagerly anticipated first glimpse of the second season of the enthralling thriller featuring Line of Duty's Martin Compston.
The series, which also stars Game of Thrones' Iain Glen and Schitt's Creek's Emily Hampshire, made history as the streaming service's first original production shot entirely in Scotland.
Upon its debut in January 2023, it quickly rose to become one of Prime Video's most-watched dramas, leaving legions of viewers clamouring for the sequel.
After a near two-year wait, Prime Video has now announced that The Rig's second season is set to premiere in January of next year, alongside a sneak peek at the new episodes.
Glen, Hampshire, and Compston are all set to reprise their roles, joined by Rochenda Sandall and Mark Addy, reports the Mirror.

Another chimed in with praise, stating: "I loved the show and found it really gripping.
"Wanted to keep watching after each episode and was a bit gutted when it was over. I just really hope they make another one."
