Epix has premiered a new trailer for the upcoming six-part series “Rogue Heroes” based on Ben Macintyre’s novel.
The drama series hails from “Peaky Blinders” creator Steven Knight in a story dealing with the origins of the British special forces unit, the Special Air Service (S.A.S.), which was created to lead a new form of combat in the deserts of North Africa in the early 1940s.
Macintyre was given privileged access to the SAS’s archives to write his account of its history. The series is being produced by Kudos (“Broadchurch,” “Humans”) and will be distributed globally by Endemol Shine International.
Connor Swindells, Sofia Boutella, Alfie Allen, Jack O’Connell, Dominic West and Tom Glynn-Carney co-star. Karen Wilson, Tommy Bulfin, Martin Haines and Emma Kingsman-Lloyd executive produce.
The series premieres sometime this Fall on Epix.
