Channel 4’s SAS: Who Dares Wins returns very soon for its 2022 incarnation, and there’s plenty for fans to look forward to this time around.

SAS: Who Dares Wins season 7 seems like a major overhaul, with a new location in Jordan, new instructors in Rudy Reyes and Remi Adeleke, and of course a new set of contestants.

New instructor Adeleke told RadioTimes.com in an exclusive interview, “What I love about this show, it’s not just about entertainment. That’s a part of it. But you know, pouring into people’s lives. It’s about taking people who are probably some of them at the lowest point in their lives, socially, mentally, and helping them work through a battle that they’re facing.”

Speaking of the new approach that Reyes has brought to the show, returning star Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham told us, “It was just different [before] to the way it is now and we’ve adapted to that and I think the audience will love it. And maybe the next one, who knows what we’ll change up?”

Another familiar face, Jason ‘Foxy’ Fox, has been chatting about the the show too. He revealed that the instructors do have to push back against the producers at times when it comes to ideas for challenges.

Foxy said, “The producers will always be like, ‘Ooh can we do this? And can we do that?’ and we’re like, ‘Well, we can do it’, but we never f**king did it. ‘Why not?’ ‘Because it’s stupid.’”

To see which challenges made it into the show and how the new contestants fare, you’ll just have to tune in! Keep on reading for all the details on the 2022 season of SAS: Who Dares Wins.
