Synopsis
The Rig (2023) is a Scottish supernatural drama series you can watch online on iFILM. Produced for Amazon Prime Video and directed by John Strickland and Alex Holmes, it opens on the Kinloch Bravo oil platform in the North Sea — crew packed, shore leave almost in hand — until a wall of dense fog swallows the rig and cuts every radio line to the mainland.
Captain Mäs (Iain Glen) tries to hold the crew together. Barge master Liam (Martin Compston) works the machinery that keeps them alive. Geologist Rose (Emily Hampshire) is the first to notice that the losses aren't accidents and the fog isn't weather. Something beneath the water is far older than the rigs above it, and it has no interest in letting anyone leave.
The series refuses to stay in one genre lane — it cycles through workplace tension, creeping paranoia and outright sci-fi without losing its footing. For viewers who like their mysteries to carry ecological weight alongside the dread, The Rig delivers both. Stream it online on iFILM.
