Steven Knightâs returning BBC drama SAS Rogue Heroes has announced new cast members for its upcoming season.
After months of speculation, the hit series has officially confirmed its third season, with filming now officially under way on the upcoming set of episodes.
Joining season 3 alongside regulars such as Jack OâConnell, Sofia Boutella and Dominic West will be Grantchesterâs Lorne MacFadyen as Reverend Fraser McLusky. The cast also includes Devotionâs Nick Hargrove, Brassicâs Andrew Dawson, and Jake Jarratt.
Returning to the fold are Theo Barklem-Biggs as Reg Seekings, Corin Silva as Jim Almonds, Jacob Ifan as Pat Riley, Jacob McCarthy as Johnny Cooper, Stuart Campbell as Bill Fraser, Bobby Schofield as Dave Kershaw, and Jack Barton as John Tonkin.
The new episodes take place in summer 1944, as Paddy Mayne and his team âhave parachuted deep behind enemy lines and must destroy and disrupt the mighty German army as they continue to repel the Allied advancesâ.
However, the SAS and French Resistance âonce again face seemingly unsurmountable challenges, as the liberation of Western Europe beginsâ.
âSeries three picks up as the war enters a critical phase with the allies mobilising to liberate France,â Knight teased. âWay ahead of the advancing front line the SAS are doing what they do best, creating chaos and carnage among the defending axis troops.
âNever has the war been so bloody and never have the stakes been so high. The Rogue Heroes dare to win, but at what cost to themselves and their souls?â
Executive producer Karen Wilson praised the âremarkableâ cast, saying: âItâs always incredibly exciting to be filming SAS Rogue Heroes, and weâre thrilled to be back for another series.
âIâm blown away by how Steven Knight takes the action to another level, with his scripts transporting us into the world of these remarkable characters, played by a remarkable ensemble of actors. If you thought series two was good, wait until you see what we have in store for series three.â
SAS Rogue Heroes seasons 1-2 are streaming now on BBC iPlayer.
