According to Channel 4, the new season will feature the show\u2019s \u201cmost savage selection course yet\u201d, as a new group of recruits enter the jungle in Thung Ui, northern Vietnam.<\/p>\n
The new six-part season will see Foxy (Jason Fox), Billy (Mark Billingham) and Rudy Reyes all return as part of the Directing Staff (DS)<\/a>, and are joined by new DS Chris Oliver. However, for the 2023 season, Reyes will no longer be Chief DS, with that role instead taken up by Billy.<\/p>\n Billy said: \u201cHaving been a DS on actual military SAS selection and chief instructor at the British Army Jungle Warfare Training School in Brunei, there is nobody better placed than myself to lead the recruits through this treacherous environment.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cI\u2019m looking forward to challenging and encouraging the new recruits. However, I will not<\/i> be accepting any excuses \u2013 this will be the toughest course to date!\u201d<\/p>\n New DS Chris Oliver is a former Special Forces operator and Royal Marine mountain leader, with 16 years combat experience.\u00a0 He previously served in the elite Special Boat Service alongside Foxy, and left the military in 2015.<\/p> Oliver said: \u201cI will bring a hard-hitting intensity to the SAS: Who Dares Wins <\/i>DS, being a fiery character with a very passionate approach to military training, with respect being at the forefront of everything I do.<\/p>\n \u201cThe values I intend to instil in the recruits, as part of the DS, have been forged on operations where we have lost good operators, so they had better be under no illusions \u2013 anyone who doesn\u2019t play by the rules will pay the price.\u201d<\/p>\n The new season will once again see the DS lead 20 ordinary men and women through the jungle phase of SAS selection to test their mental and physical ability, and determine which of the recruits has what it takes to pass the course.<\/p>\n Last year\u2019s season was held in the Jordanian desert, with the winners later telling RadioTimes.com<\/a> about what of their experience the viewers don\u2019t see on screen<\/a>.<\/p>\n SAS: Who Dares Wins will return to Channel 4 in January 2023.
