SAS Rogue Heroes Season 3: Everything we know so far about the latest renewal of the Steven Knight World War II drama

The British historical drama SAS Rogue Heroes has been officially renewed by the BBC for a third season.

The season 2 finale of the acclaimed British series saw our heroes parachuting during the Normandy landings when it aired on January 26, 2025. Since then, not much had been heard about this show until September 4, 2025. That's because the BBC has now officially renewed SAS Rogue Heroes for season 3, much to the relief of the fans.

The British channel made this revelation through a blog post on its official site. The announcement begins with:

"SAS Rogue Heroes has called ‘action’ on series three, with new and returning cast confirmed for the hit drama. Created by Steven Knight and made by Kudos (a Banijay UK company) for the BBC with MGM+, the new series arrives at a critical stage of World War Two."

"Based on Ben Macintyre’s best-selling book of the same name, the third instalment continues the dramatised story of the world’s greatest Special Forces unit, with the semi-fictionalised series charting their astounding feats of bravery and the impact of war upon the men."

BBC confirms that SAS Rogue Heroes Season 3 has begun production:

BBC confirmed that the third season has started filming in the same announcement as the one confirming the renewal of the third season. The BBC also confirmed that four new actors have joined the cast of SAS Rogue Heroes' third season: Devotion's Nick Hargrove, Starstruck's Lorne MacFadyen, and relatively new actors, Jake Jarratt and Andrew Dawson.

These four new cast members will join Connor Swindells' Lieutenant Colonel David Stirling, Sofia Boutella's Eve Mansour, and Jack O'Connell's Lieutenant Colonel Paddy Mayne in the third season.

What do we know about the BBC series?

The upcoming third season will pick up right where the second season ended, i.e., with Paddy and other SAS paratroopers in Normandy. Given that the third season is still filming, we have to wait for a while until the season finishes filming. However, the announcement teased what the third season will be about:

"Summer, 1944, France. Paddy Mayne and his Rogues have parachuted deep behind enemy lines and must destroy and disrupt the mighty German army as they continue to repel the Allied advances. Alongside the French resistance and new recruits, the SAS once again face seemingly unsurmountable challenges, as the liberation of Western Europe begins."

The series is an adaptation of Ben Macintyre's 2016 eponymous book. Creator Steven Knight also shared an interesting tease for the third season:

“Series three picks up as the war enters a critical phase with the allies mobilising to liberate France. Way ahead of the advancing front line the SAS are doing what they do best, creating chaos and carnage among the defending axis troops. Never 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?”
