The Rig

Supernatural thriller created by David MacPherson, THE RIG was the first Amazon Original to be filmed entirely in Scotland, and the first production to be based entirely in Edinburgh's dedicated film studio FirstStage Studios.

After a successful first series, Amazon commissioned season 2 and, hard as it is to believe all of this was filmed in Edinburgh, but it most certainly was. Series 2 launched on Amazon in January 2025.

Starring Martin Compston, THE RIG is about a North Sea oil rig crew cut off from the outside world when the fog roles in.
