The BBC has released some first-look images for the second outing of SAS Rogue Heroes, from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight. The historical drama about the SAS during the Second World War first graced screens in 2022 and it received critical acclaim.

In December 2022 the BBC confirmed a second season had been given the green light, based on the operations in the European theatre of the war. The second season moves the unit from Cairo to the European front, after Lieutenant David Stirling (played by Connor Swindells) was captured by Axis forces.

The first look shows Jack O'Connell as Paddy Mayne leading the special forces after he reluctantly took over Stirling's role. Meanwhile, David's brother Bill Stirling (Gwilym Lee) arrives to form a second unit to combat enemy encroachment.

As the war continued into 1943, the future of the SAS was uncertain due to the GHQ doubting its reliability from behind Axis lines. Season two will introduce some new faces including Edward Bennett and Paolo De Vita.

Other newcomers include Con O'Neill, Jack Barton and Mark Rowley, with returning cast members including Sofia Boutella and Dominic West.

There had been a fantastic response to the show's debut season, with the first episode being viewed 5.5million times on iPlayer alone during 2022, making it the fifth most viewed individual programme on the platform that year.

The new images show Bill Stirling and Paddy Mayne locking horns, meanwhile a dishevelled David Stirling is seen raising a glass.
