Watch SAS Rogue Heroes Season 2: Synopsis
Is there a better day for a binge watch than New Year's Day? With the BBC leaving one last gift under our tree in the form of the full season 2 boxset, blow away the cobwebs with Jack O’Connel’s Lt. Paddy Mayne and co. in their latest action packed adventure. Read on below as we explain how to watch SAS Rogue Heroes season 2 online and for free with BBC iPlayer and stream all episodes from anywhere with a VPN.
From Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight and based on the book by Ben Macintyre, Season 1 followed the creation of the SAS during World War Two. Losing ground to Rommell’s Afrika Korps in North Africa in 1941, the British Army found itself in dire need of a new gameplan. Enter army officer David Stirling (Connor Swindells, Sex Education) who, along with Mayne and Lt. Jock Lewes (Alfie Allen, Game of Thrones) come up with a plan for a new special commando unit designed to operate behind enemy lines.
Season 2 picks up in 1943 and with Lewes dead and Stirling captured, it falls to Mayne to take over command. With the North Africa campaign behind them, the men are thrust into the chaos of Nazi occupied Europe, still a year away from Allied liberation. GHQ have bolstered the ranks, although an influx of green new arrivals isn’t ideal for the tight knit veterans. And despite the efforts to seemingly buoy the regiment, those at the top are starting to have doubts over its future.
While Steven Knight can paint in varied strokes (see coming-of-age story This Town, for an altogether quieter, more personal tale), SAS Rogue Heroes is very much in the bombastic vein one would expect from the man behind Peaky Blinders. In fact, set not too long after that show’s finale, chuck a Shelby in the squad and it could almost be a direct sequel. And again, like that show, a cast which comprises Sofia Boutella, Dominic West, Theo Barklem-Biggs, Corin Silva, Jacob Ifan, Jacob McCarthy, Stuart Campbell, and Bobby Schofield absolutely shine.
New additions for this season include Mark Rowley and Jack Barton as new recruits to the unit, while Gwilym Lee joins the cast as Bill Stirling, David’s brother and Con O’Neill appears as General Montgomery.
If you’re looking for a show that’ll kick off your New Year with a literal blast, you’ve found it. So read on below for all you need to watch SAS Rouge Heroes online from anywhere, and stream on BBC iPlayer, with all episodes now readily available to binge-watch.
