SAS Rogue Heroes came to an end tonight
The BBC have confirmed the show will be back for a second series
And fans can rejoice as the show will be coming back for a second series, it has been confirmed.
At the end of the final episode tonight the screen froze on Paddy Mayne (Jack O’Connell) – now in charge of our Rogue Heroes – as the caption ‘to be continued’ appeared.
Filming for the second instalment of the smash-hit show will take place in 2023.
The first series followed David Stirling (Connor Swindells), Jock Lewes (Alfie Allen) and Paddy Mayne (Jack O’Connell) in a dramatised account of how the SAS was formed in the darkest days of World War Two, with fellow cast members including Dominic West, Sofia Boutella, Tom Glynn-Carney and Theo Barklem-Biggs.
The second series will show viewers what comes next for the SAS, following the dramatic turn of events in series one’s final episode. Further details will be announced in due course.
Steven Knight, SAS Rogue Heroes’ creator, writer, and executive producer, says: “After the roaring success of Rogue Heroes I’m delighted to be embarking on the next chapter of the story.
“Series two will take the SAS into mainland Europe and will take our heroes to the limits of their endurance.”
The first series has been available in full as a box set on BBC iPlayer since launch.
