Per the official logline for season 2, 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 contends with swirling conspiracies, corporate conflicts, and new threats from the dark depths of the world's ocean.

Season 1 was a massive hit when the series debuted in January of 2023, exciting millions of viewers as fans were eager to find out who or what was behind the villainous fog that claimed the many lives of the Kinloch Bravo crew members. Ending on a tantalizing cliffhanger with the vessel facing a terrifying tsunami, we were left wondering if our beloved crew members would survive. The crew gets rescued after the tsunami hits the North Sea, but instead of returning to their families, Magnus, Fulmer, and Rose face increased danger as they delve into the menacing threat, not just facing them but facing all of humanity! The Ancestor's true motives are revealed with many twists and turns, leading into another exciting third season.
