SAS ROGUE HEROES: FIRST LOOK IMAGES FROM UPCOMING SECOND SERIES OF BBC DRAMA

The BBC has released first-look images of its returning hit drama SAS Rogue Heroes, showing the regiment as they face their next battle on a whole new terrain.



Written and created for television by Steven Knight, SAS Rogue Heroes is made by Kudos (a Banijay UK company) for BBC iPlayer and BBC One, in co-production with MGM+.



Originally inspired by Ben Macintyre’s best-selling book of the same name, series two returns to action with the troops in Spring 1943. Paddy Mayne takes control of the SAS following David Stirling’s capture, and now attention must turn from the conflict in North Africa to mainland Europe.


But GHQ have cast doubt over the future of the regiment, while the creation of a second unit and an influx of new arrivals make things even more difficult for the men. Can they prove that the SAS remain essential to the war, wherever it may lead them?




Returning for series two are Jack O’Connell (Paddy Mayne), Connor Swindells (David Stirling), Sofia Boutella (Eve Mansour) and Dominic West (Dudley Clarke).Gwilym Lee (The Great, Bohemian Rhapsody) joins the cast as Bill Stirling, David Stirling’s brother and founder of the 2SAS regiment, while Con O’Neill (Happy Valley, Our Flag Means Death) appears as General Montgomery.



Theo Barklem-Biggs (Reg Seekings), Corin Silva (Jim Almonds), Jacob Ifan (Pat Riley), Jacob McCarthy (Johnny Cooper), Stuart Campbell (Bill Fraser), and Bobby Schofield (Dave Kershaw) also return for duty in series two.


Among the brigade’s new recruits are Mark Rowley (The Last Kingdom, The North Water) and Jack Barton (Heartstopper, War of the Worlds), who will play SAS members Jock McDiarmid and John Tonkin respectively. Further new cast members include Paolo De Vita (Anonymous, La Grande Guerra del Salento), Anna Manuelli (Blocco 181, Pezzi unici), Edward Bennett (Industry, Save Me Too) and Matteo Franco.



SAS Rogue Heroes series two is coming soon to BBC iPlayer and BBC One in the UK, and will be available on MGM+ in the United States, it is distributed internationally by Banijay Rights.
