Renewed Or Cancelled?
The Rig is a derivative thriller, borrowing heavily from many different influences, including Nightflyers, The Thing and even The Expanse! After finishing the whole series, you may be wondering if this has been renewed or cancelled. Here’s what we know:
What is The Rig 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.
The second half then moves into corporate espionage and a race against time as our characters work to try and stop Pictor from destroying the Heart of the Ancestor
We have extensive coverage of The Rig on the site, including a full season review and recaps for every episode. You can find that HERE!
Has The Rig been renewed for season 3?
At the time of writing, The Rig has not been renewed for season 3. Generally Amazon would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate.
With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show’s future is made. So far, Missing You has had a pretty mixed reaction online from critics and audiences alike.
Given the way this show is set up, and given the ending we receive, we’re predicting that this will be renewed for a third season. Amazon is yet to make an official statement on whether there will be a season 3, but we do know that this show has been super popular on Prime Video, hitting the top 3 as soon as it was released and garnering a lot of buzz online.
There’s still more story to tell here as well of course, and that certainly helps the prospects of this one.
What we know about season 3 so far:
Barely anything is known about season 3 at this point given the show has now been officially greenlit – yet. However, if it does get the nod, expect a very similar format, with the story expanding the mythos, showing more of this mass extinction event and how Pictor will try and come back from its potentially tarnished reputatin..
We’ll be sure to update this page in the future when more information is known though!
