SAS Rogue Heroes, from Peaky Blinders creator, gets release date
Steven Knight is behind the new war drama set in 1940s Cairo.
The BBC has confirmed a premiere date for action-packed drama SAS Rogue Heroes, the star-studded new series from Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight.
Inspired by the factual book from author Ben Mcintyre, the show will offer a dramatised account of how the SAS was first established in Cairo during the darkest days of World War Two.
Sex Education star Connor Swindells leads the cast as "eccentric" army officer David Stirling, who is first to envision an unconventional squad of commandos causing mayhem behind enemy lines.
However, he'll have to fight for authorisation to bring this bold idea into reality, before scouring the armed forces for ideal candidates to join this daring new unit.
