SAS Rogue Heroes Season One came from writer/executive producer Steven Knight, director by Tom Shankland and producer by Stephen Smallwood. It will be interesting to see if there’s a continuing role for either Dominic West or Sofia Boutella in Series Two. Although that might make fertile drama itself, especially as he ended up at Colditz Castle! While it played a little fast and loose with history, we imagine Paddy Mayne will lead Season Two we saw Jock Lewes die and Stirling spent the remainder of the war in and out of German and Italian hands. Season One starred David Stirling (Connor Swindells), Jock Lewes (Alfie Allen) and Paddy Mayne (Jack O’Connell) as lead characters. Series two will take the SAS into mainland Europe and will take our heroes to the limits of their endurance.”

The boxset has also been available to binge on iPlayer too, which is how we consumed it.
