by

The upcoming season of Steven Knight’s BBC drama, titled “SAS Rogue Heroes“, has added some fresh faces to its cast.

Following several months of anticipation, it’s been officially announced that the popular show will indeed return for a third season, and production is now actively taking place on the upcoming collection of episodes.

In addition to Jack O’Connell, Sofia Boutella, and Dominic West, Grantchester‘s Lorne MacFadyen will be part of the cast for season 3 as Reverend Fraser McLusky. The group also includes Nick Hargrove from Devotion, Andrew Dawson from Brassic, and Jake Jarratt.

Back come Theo Barklem-Biggs playing Reg Seekings, Corin Silva portraying Jim Almonds, Jacob Ifan taking on the role of Pat Riley, Jacob McCarthy as Johnny Cooper, Stuart Campbell as Bill Fraser, Bobby Schofield as Dave Kershaw, and Jack Barton as John Tonkin.

In the summer of 1944, Paddy Mayne and his unit find themselves dropped far beyond enemy territory. Their mission is to infiltrate, damage, and hinder the powerful German forces that are persistently pushing back the Allied offensive.

Yet, once more, the SAS and French Resistance encounter formidable obstacles as they embark on the mission for the liberation of Western Europe.

In simpler terms, the third series unfolds during a crucial stage of the war as the Allies prepare for the liberation of France. Ahead of the enemy lines, the Special Air Service (SAS) is causing disarray and destruction among the Axis forces, using their signature tactics.

In no time before this, a conflict hasn’t been as brutal, and the risks haven’t been higher. The Rogue Heroes are determined to emerge victorious, but is there a price too steep for them to pay – not only in terms of their lives but also their very spirits?

Karen Wilson, the executive producer, expressed her admiration for the cast of “SAS Rogue Heroes,” stating that it’s consistently exhilarating to work on the series and they are delighted to return for another season.

I’m utterly amazed by how Steven Knight raises the bar, as his scripts immersively plunge us into the realm of these extraordinary characters, portrayed by an exceptional cast. If you found series two captivating, brace yourself for what’s coming in series three!

SAS Rogue Heroes seasons 1-2 are streaming now on BBC iPlayer.
