What is The Rig Season 1 about?
The story centers on a group of workers off on a remote Scottish oil rig called Kinnoch Bravo. They’re all ready to leave for the mainland, along with their comrades over on Kinnoch Charlie. However, weird tremors from below the rig, coupled with a thick blanket of fog and strange ash, cause all sorts of problem that soon link themselves to something far worse and more dangerous on the horizon. As the group work to figure out what this may be, one of the men called Baz, finds himself experiencing horrific visions linked to something on the sea bed. The first chapter actually does a half-decent job of building up a mystery before this one falls into derivative waters, borrowing tried and tested concepts We have extensive coverage of The Rig on the site, including a full season review and recaps for every episode.

Has The Rig been renewed for season 2?
With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly (like Squid Game, Bridgerton & Wednesday) Other times, it can take months before Netflix make a decision over a show’s future. So far, The Rig has had a pretty mixed reaction from critics although we did classify this as one of the early contenders for worst shows of 2023. Others are admittedly less harsh than ourselves and some will undoubtedly enjoy this. Given the way this show is set up, we’re predicting that this will not be renewed for a second season. There’s a massively talented cast attached to this one and some big names too who will undoubtedly want to move onto bigger and better things. However, we could be completely wrong too so we’ll have to wait and see. We’ll be sure to update this section with accurate details over the coming weeks and months when we know more!
What we know about season 2 so far:
As mentioned above, we predict that this will not be renewed but we’ll have to wait and see what happens. We’ll be sure to update this page in the future when more information is known though!
