“With SAS Australia we’ve put the real back in reality television – it’s disruptive, different and packs an emotional punch – and the audience loved it,” says Angus Ross, Seven’s director of programming.
“We look forward to sharing the journey of our killer cast of recruits over the coming weeks to see who’s got what it takes to pass the toughest test. Trust me – you’ve never seen anything like this before.”
