What is The Rig season 2 about?

The Rig season 2 picks up right after the tsunami hits the Kinloch Bravo oil rig. The surviving crew is evacuated to another rig called The Stac, located in the Arctic. Rose Mason (Emily Hampshire) and Magnus MacMillan (Iain Glen) are forced to regroup while dealing with the fallout from the Ancestor’s awakening.

The crew quickly realizes that The Stac is part of Pictor Energy’s larger plan to exploit the ocean floor, raising questions about their safety and the company’s real motives.

At The Stac, Rose and Fulmer Hamilton (Martin Compston) are placed under observation due to their exposure to the spores, but tensions rise when the crew is offered hush money to stay silent about what happened at Kinloch Bravo. Meanwhile, Morgan Lennox (Alice Krige), the new CEO of Pictor, claims the company is focused on mining rare earth metals for renewable energy, but her real agenda remains unclear.

A rescue mission is conducted to retrieve a lost survey team at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, but the crew discovers that the members had been killed. The Ancestor reacts violently to the disturbance, cutting off communication with The Stac. Fulmer, who is still connected to the Ancestor, starts having visions, making it clear that the organism is trying to send a message.

Tensions escalate when it’s revealed that Pictor’s plan is to poison the Ancestor’s core and destroy it entirely. Rose fights to protect the creature, believing it to be a force that sustains life, not destroys it. The season ends with Rose using her connection to the Ancestor to revive it, but the crew faces new threats as military forces target The Stac, setting up even bigger challenges for the future.

The Rig season 2 is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
