The six-part thriller will be directed by "Bodyguard" director John Strickland. It will start shooting in Scotland later this month. 

The show is 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 and they find themselves cut off from all communication with the shore and the outside world. 

"As the rig is hit by massive tremors, the crew endeavour to discover what’s driving the unknown force. But a major accident forces them to ask questions about who they can really trust," the official plotline reads. 

"The Rig" is produced by Wild Mercury Productions.
