SAS: Rogue Heroes is based on the best-selling book of the same name by Ben Macintyre and it stars Connor Swindells, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Allen, Sofia Boutella, and Dominic West.

SAS: Rogue Heroes is supposed to release on BBC One and BBC iPlayer this month in the UK and it will be coming to the United States on Epix this fall.
SAS: Rogue Heroes will premiere on BBC One on October 30 and the release date for the series in the United States on Epix is yet to be revealed. Check out the trailer and official synopsis below:
Cairo, 1941. David Stirling (Connor Swindells) – an eccentric young officer, hospitalised after a training exercise went wrong – is bored. Convinced that traditional commando units don’t work, he creates a radical plan that flies in the face of all accepted rules of modern warfare. He fights for permission to recruit the toughest, boldest and brightest soldiers for a small undercover unit that will create mayhem behind enemy lines. More rebels than soldiers, Stirling’s team are every bit as complicated, flawed and reckless as they are astonishingly brave and heroic.
