Back in November, Amazon ordered two more seasons of their “spectacularly dark” thriller series The Devil’s Hour, and now they have renewed another one of their UK thriller Originals. This time, they have ordered a second season of the supernatural thriller series The Rig! The Rig season 2 will begin filming at FirstStage Studios in Edinburgh later this year with several season 1 cast members returning, including Iain Glen (Game of Thrones), Martin Compston (Line of Duty), Emily Hampshire (Schitt’s Creek), Rochenda Sandall (Criminal: UK), Owen Teale (Game of Thrones), Mark Addy (Game of Thrones), Molly Vevers (The Spanish Princess), Abraham Popoola (Cruella), and Stuart McQuarrie (Des).
Created by David Macpherson, the six episode first season was set on the Kishorn Bravo oil rig, stationed off the Scottish coast in the dangerous waters of the North Sea. When the crew is due to return to the mainland, a mysterious and all-enveloping fog rolls through.

How To Get Away With Murder star Alfred Enoch is replacing Jodie Whittaker in the second season of BBC drama Trust Me.
The series, which is produced by Happy Valley producer Red Production Company, was a hit for the British public broadcaster last year with over 6M viewers. However, Whittaker’s new job as the Doctor in the new season of Doctor Who meant she was unable to return.
Instead, Enoch, who also starred in Harry Potter, will play Corporal Jamie McCain, a survivor of a shock enemy attack. Recovering from a spinal injury in the neurological unit of Glasgow Hospital, which has left him temporarily paralysed, Jamie faces a new enemy as fellow patients on the ward die unexpectedly around him.
Enoch will be joined in the four-part drama by Four Weddings and a Funeral’s John Hannah, who plays Dr Archie Watson, whose awkward persona hides a seedier and more sinister side,...
