SAS: Rogue Heroes Season 2 plot and cast

Season 2 picks up where we left off. The SAS is under threat of being disbanded. All that hard work, those daring missions, and near-death experiences could be wiped. Unless, of course, they prove their worth.

Paddy Mayne is grappling with personal losses while trying to keep the unit together. David Stirling’s brother, William, joins the scene. We’ll find out if he can help save the day or if Mayne’s disdain for authority will derail everything.

The season promises relentless drama. They will fight the Sicilian Mafia and lead battles in mainland Europe. There’s also a Hitler connection. The team will grapple with the Führer’s Commando Order. And that’s sure to add even more tension to their missions.

Here’s what the season’s synopsis tells us:

"Spring, 1943. With David Stirling captured and Paddy Mayne now in charge of the SAS, their attention must turn from the conflict in North Africa to mainland Europe. But GHQ have cast doubt over the future of the regiment, while the creation of a new unit and a surprise arrival makes things even more difficult for the men. Can they prove that the SAS remains essential to the war, wherever it may lead them?"
