MGM+ announced today that Rogue Heroes has been picked up for a third season. The semi-fictionalized British drama has already begun production on its next season in the UK and France.

Based on Ben Macintyre's best-selling book of the same name, the series follows a young officer who is hospitalized after a training exercise mishap in 1941. During the darkest days of World Ward II, he comes up with a radical plan that goes against all accepted rules of modern warfare, and recruits the toughest, brightest soldiers for a small undercover unit that will create mayhem behind enemy lines.

The third season will continue the story of the world's greatest Special Forces unit, charting their astounding feats of bravery and the impact of war upon the men. Set in 1944 France, Paddy Mayne and his Rogues have parachuted deep behind enemy lines and must destroy and disrupt the mighty German army as they continue to repel the Allied advances. Alongside the French resistance and new recruits, the SAS once again face seemingly unsurmountable challenges, as the liberation of Western Europe begins.

"Series three picks up as the war enters a critical phase with the allies mobilising to liberate France," said series creator, writer and executive producer Steven Knight. "Way ahead of the advancing front line the SAS are doing what they do best, creating chaos and carnage among the defending axis troops. Never has the war been so bloody and never have the stakes been so high. The Rogue heroes dare to win, but at what cost to themselves and their souls?"

"Rogue Heroes has gripped audiences with its smart and kinetic storytelling about the formation of the SAS," said Michael Wright, Head of MGM+. "The first two seasons left us wanting to know more about this incredible band of unique, daring soldiers, and we couldn't be more excited to see what Stephen Knight and Kudos have in store for the third season."
