Steven Knight's SAS Rogue Heroes unveils dramatic first look at season 2
The new run is coming soon to BBC One.
Steven Knight's hit World War II drama SAS Rogue Heroes is returning for its second run on BBC One soon – and fans have been given a glimpse of what to expect from the new season, thanks to the release of some dramatic first-look images.
Several stills have been released – including both individual and group shots – showing the regiment as they face their next battle on a whole new terrain, this time in mainland Europe.
Original stars Jack O'Connell (Paddy Mayne), Connor Swindells (David Stirling), Sofia Boutella (Eve Mansour) and Dominic West (Dudley Clarke) can all be seen in the images.
There's also a first look at some newcomers for season 2, including Heartstopper's Jack Barton as SAS member John Tonkin (below).
Once again inspired by Ben Macintyre's best-selling book of the same name, season 2 picks up events in spring 1943, as Paddy Mayne takes control of the SAS following David Stirling's capture.
