Fans of the gripping World War II drama SAS Rogue Heroes are buzzing with excitement, eagerly awaiting news about a potential third season. Created by Steven Knight, the mastermind behind Peaky Blinders , the series has captivated audiences with its intense action, historical intrigue, and unforgettable characters. With Season 2 ending on a thrilling cliffhanger in January 2025, viewers are desperate to know: is Rogue Heroes Season 3 happening? Here's everything we know so far about the show's future, including release date speculation, plot details, cast updates, and more. Will There Be a Rogue Heroes Season 3?
The big question: has the BBC given SAS Rogue Heroes Season 3 the green light? As of now, there's no official word, which is honestly a bit maddening. But don't lose hope just yet—there's plenty to suggest we're not done with the SAS. Steven Knight, the genius behind Peaky Blinders and the show's creator, dropped some serious hints on Playlist's Bingeworthy podcast. He said, 'There's no way we're stopping there. The story's got legs.' He even got me hyped talking about Jack O'Connell's Paddy Mayne, teasing, 'Wait 'til you see what's next for him. It's wild.' That's not the kind of talk you hear if a show's getting shelved, right?
Knight's got big plans, too. He's mentioned wanting to follow the SAS all the way to the end of World War II and maybe even a smidge beyond. Season 1 pulled in a massive 9.4 million viewers, and Season 2's been getting rave reviews, with critics calling it a 'rollicking good time.' The BBC's no stranger to renewing fan favorites—Season 2 was confirmed the same day Season 1 wrapped—so I'm betting we'll hear something soon. Fingers crossed! Who Will Be in the Cast of Rogue Heroes Season 3?
No official cast list yet, but let's talk about who we're likely to see. Jack O'Connell as Paddy Mayne is the heart of the show, and with Knight hyping up his arc, he's a lock to return. The guy's electric—every scene he's in feels like it could explode. Other familiar faces we'd expect include: Sofia Boutella as Eve Mansour, who dodged death in Season 1 and came back strong in Season 2.
Theo Barklem-Biggs as Reg Seekings, the tough-as-nails sergeant.
Jacob Ifan as Pat Riley, another SAS stalwart.
Bobby Schofield as Dave Kershaw, who's been a fan favorite.
Corin Silva as Jim Almonds, steady as ever.
Stuart Campbell as Bill Fraser, assuming his story continues.
Jacob McCarthy as Johnny Cooper, one of the younger recruits.
What about Connor Swindells as David Stirling? That's trickier. Historically, Stirling was stuck in Colditz Castle as a POW during this period, and Season 2 reflected that. Unless Knight cooks up a clever way to bring him back, his role might be smaller. Same goes for Gwilym Lee as Bill Stirling, who stepped away from the SAS in Season 2. On the flip side, newer faces like Mark Rowley (Jock McDiarmid) and Jack Barton (John Tonkin) could get more screen time. Sadly, Alfie Allen's Jock Lewes is gone for good after his Season 1 exit. When Might Season 3 Hit Our Screens?
While no official release date has been announced, we can make educated guesses based on the show's production timeline. Season 1 premiered in October 2022, and Season 2 followed in January 2025, with filming for Season 2 taking place in 2023. If Rogue Heroes Season 3 follows a similar schedule, production could begin in late 2025 or early 2026, potentially leading to a release in late 2026 or early 2027. Some sources speculate a fall 2026 release, aligning with the show's previous autumn-to-winter release pattern.
