Amazon Prime Video has revealed first-look images for its new supernatural thriller The Rig.
The company has offered viewers a first glimpse of the highly anticipated series set on a remote North Sea oil rig just off the Scottish coast.
The six-part drama – starring Line of Duty and Virgil favourite Martin Compston and Game of Thrones actor Iain Glenn – follows a group of workers in the Kishorn Bravo oil rig who are due to return to the mainland when an eerie fog descends and a mysterious force begins to take hold.

It said: “As the crew endeavour to discover what’s driving this unknown force, a major accident forces them to ask questions about who they can really trust.
“Bonds are broken, allegiances formed and generational fault lines exposed.
