SAS: Rogue Heroes
SAS: Rogue Heroes (titled Rogue Heroes in the United States and Australia) is a British historical drama television series created by Steven Knight that premiered on BBC One on 30 October 2022. The first series depicts the origins of the British Army Special Air Service (SAS) during the Western Desert Campaign of World War II. The storyline is based on the 2016 book of the same name by Ben Macintyre, and is broadly accurate of real events. The second series premiered on 1 January 2025 and focused on the SAS operations in the European theatre of war. In September 2025, it was renewed for a third series.
The series begins in a Cairo hospital in 1941, when, after a failed training exercise, British Army officer David Stirling has the idea of creating a special commando unit that could operate deep behind enemy lines.
