A new trailer has been released for SAS: Rogue Heroes, the upcoming BBC drama series from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight which tells the story of how the legendary British Special Forces unit was formed under extraordinary circumstances during WWII; watch it below…
Cairo, 1941. David Stirling (Connor Swindells) – an eccentric young officer, hospitalised after a training exercise went wrong – is bored. Convinced that traditional commando units don’t work, he creates a radical plan that flies in the face of all accepted rules of modern warfare. He fights for permission to recruit the toughest, boldest and brightest soldiers for a small undercover unit that will create mayhem behind enemy lines. More rebels than soldiers, Stirling’s team are every bit as complicated, flawed and reckless as they are astonishingly brave and heroic.
The series stars Connor Swindells (Sex Education), Jack O’Connell (Godless), Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones), Sofia Boutella (The Mummy), Dominic West (The Crown), Tom Glynn-Carney (Dunkirk), Jason Watkins (Line of Duty) Stuart Campbell (Baptiste), Ralph Davis (Small Axe), Bobby Schofield (Time), Virgile Bramly (Grand Hotel), Tom Hygreck (La Garçonne), Paul Boche (SOKO Potsdam), Moritz Jahn (Dark), Arthur Orcier (J’irai où tu iras), Adrian Lukis (Feel Good), Anthony Calf (Poldark), Isobel Laidler (The Witcher), and Ian Davies (Game of Thrones).
SAS: Rogue Heroes is coming soon to the BBC.
