Kudos (A Banijay UK company) and Nebulastar for BBC1 and iPlayer in the UK and MGM+ in the US
Inspired by Ben Macintyre’s best-selling book of the same name and created, written and executive produce by Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, This Town) Rogue Heroes season two will again be a dramatised account of the origins of the world’s greatest Special Forces unit, the SAS
Spring, 1943. With David Stirling captured and Paddy Mayne now in charge of the SAS, their 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 new unit and a surprise arrival make things even more difficult for the men. Can they prove that the SAS remains essential to the war, wherever it may lead them?
Jack O’Connell returns as Paddy Mayne, alongside Connor Swindells as David Stirling, Sofia Boutella as Eve Mansour, and Dominic West as Dudley Clarke. Gwilym Lee (The Great, Bohemian Rhapsody) joins SAS Rogue Heroes for series two to play Bill Stirling, David Stirling’s brother and founder of the 2SAS regiment, while Con O’Neill (Happy Valley, Our Flag Means Death) will play General Montgomery.
