SAS Rogue Heroes is a 2022 British historical drama television series created by Steven Knight, which depicts the origins of the British Army Special Air Service (SAS) during the Western Desert Campaign of World War II.[1][2] The storyline is a broadly accurate representation of real events, as described by Ben Macintyre in his 2016 book of the same name.[3][4]

On 4 December 2022, the BBC confirmed that a second series had been commissioned, based upon SAS operations in the European theatre of war.[5]
