The latest series from Peaky Blinders<\/a> creator Steven Knight, SAS Rogue Heroes<\/a>, has now finished airing its first season on BBC One, with a shock ending which left plenty to be wrapped up in potential future seasons.<\/p>\n

The series starred Connor Swindells, Alfie Allen and Jack O\u2019Connell, and dramatised the creation of the SAS<\/a> during the Second World War.<\/p>\n

Now that the season has finished airing fans will be wondering whether a second season is in the works, and whether the story of the SAS\u2019s actions in World War Two will be completed in the BBC series.<\/p>\n

Read on for everything you need to know about SAS Rogue Heroes season 2.<\/p>\n

It will! It was confirmed upon the BBC One airing of the first season finale that SAS Rogue Heroes will be back, with a \u201cTo Be Continued\u201d card added on to the end of the episode.<\/p>\n

The show\u2019s creator Steven Knight<\/a> said of the recommission: \u201cAfter the roaring success of Rogue Heroes I\u2019m delighted to be embarking on the next chapter of the story. Series two will take the SAS into mainland Europe and will take our heroes to the limits of their endurance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, said: \u201cThe fantastic response and huge iPlayer figures for SAS Rogue Heroes is a testament to Steven Knight\u2019s incredible skill for turning our history into modern, must-see TV.<\/p>\n

\u201cBBC viewers have really taken this series to their hearts, and we\u2019re delighted to be working with Steven and Kudos to bring the Rogue Heroes\u2019 exciting next chapter to life.\u201d<\/p>\n

When will SAS Rogue Heroes season 2 air?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s hard to say exactly when SAS Rogue Heroes season 2 will air. We currently know that season 2 will go into production in 2023, and the early recommission is a good sign that things can be moved along quickly.<\/p>\n

However, we\u2019d imagine that the absolute earliest we could see the season 2 episodes would be the end of 2023<\/strong>, and a 2024 <\/strong>release date might be more likely. We\u2019ll keep this page updated as and when any new information becomes available.<\/p>\n

What will SAS Rogue Heroes season 2 be about?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So far, all the BBC has said about the show\u2019s second season is that it will show viewers \u201cwhat comes next for the SAS, following the dramatic turn of events in series one\u2019s final episode\u201d.<\/p>\n

The broadcaster has said that further details will be announced in due course, while Steven Knight added that \u201cSeries two will take the SAS into mainland Europe and will take our heroes to the limits of their endurance.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the end of season 1, viewers saw Paddy Mayne given charge of the SAS following the capture of David Stirling, with the unit now an official branch of the British army. We\u2019d imagine part of the series will revolve around their efforts to recover Stirling, but that remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

SAS Rogue Heroes cast \u2013 who will return for season 2?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We\u2019d certainly imagine that Connor Swindells and Jack O\u2019Connell<\/a> will be back as David Stirling and Paddy Mayne, as well as Dominic West as Dudley. Alfie Allen likely won\u2019t be back after his character Jock died in season 1.<\/p>\n

One character whose return is uncertain is Eve Mansour, played by Sofia Boutella. David was informed of her death in finale, but no body appears to have been found and there is always a chance that she somehow survived.<\/p>

While there is currently no confirmed cast list, here are the cast and characters we would expect to return for SAS Rogue Heroes season 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n
