SAS: Rogue Heroes cast and first look as Peaky Blinders creator's drama confirmed by BBC

A major new series is set to hit the BBC in the form of SAS: Rogue Heroes, created by Stephen Knight who was integral to the creation of Peaky Blinders.

Now the broadcaster has released a gallery of first-look images from the upcoming series.

The six-part series was filmed on location in the UK and Morocco. It features a dramatised account of how the world's greatest Special Fores unit, the SAS, was formed in World War Two under extraordinary circumstances.

The story provides exhilarating drama about a group of renegade men taking monumental risks.

The cast includes BAFTA-winner Jason Watkins alongside Stuart Campbell, Ralph Davis, Connor Swindles and Virgile Bramly.

Steven Knight, writer and executive producer of the show, said: "It has been a privilege to work on a project which tells the story of a renegade band of soldiers who used wit and imagination as much as firepower to halt the march of Fascism across North Africa during the darkest days of World War Two."

He continued: "This is a war story like no other, told in a way that is at once inspired by the facts and true to the spirit of this legendary brigade of misfits and adventurers."

Filming has wrapped on the series which will air on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in 2022.
