PREMISE
Helicopters have taken the surviving crew of the Kinloch Bravo to a new secret offshore facility called the Stac. Nestled deep in the extraordinary and deadly landscapes of the Arctic Circle. Here, the trapped crew must deal with the emotional and physical fallout of the devastating tsunami that destroyed the Bravo. And contend with swirling conspiracies, corporate conflicts, and new threats from the dark depths of the world’s ocean.
The second series will continue exploring global themes – weaving together the past, present, and future of the planet while taking the viewer to spectacular environments and drawing on the frontiers of cutting-edge ocean technology – including the controversial world of deep-sea mining. David Macpherson has created a new story that delivers epic thrills and gripping action for a compelling cast of characters, both returning and new.
‘The deep ocean contains over 95% of the life-supporting space on our planet and we still explore it with candlelight. We have no idea how much more there is to see”
