Ian Lamarra, Alan Clements and Tom Hardy will assume Executive Producer duties, with Robert Neill (Cassius X: Becoming Ali) on board as Series Producer and David Whitney (Dogs of War) as Series Director.

Sphere Abacus will be adding the series to their international distribution catalogue ahead of the forthcoming MIPCOM event in Cannes (21-24th October)

Ian Lamarra, Founder, Soho Studios said: "It feels like a hugely important time in the market to be producing internationally appealing shows for a streamer. This brand has so much potential for further series, we can look at Navy Seals, the Marine Corps, Green Berets etc. Tom Hardy is the perfect narrator for this series. He is incredibly knowledgeable, absolutely passionate and respectful of the subject with his voice adding a really premium flavour".

Alan Clements, MD, Two Rivers Media said: "Two Rivers Media is thrilled to be co-producing this high-adrenaline action series for Paramount + and the international market and it represents a key step on our path to becoming a world-class premium documentary producer".

Federico Ruiz, Commissioning Editor, Factual and Non-Scripted, at Paramount+ said: "We are really excited to have one of Hollywood's biggest actors, and one of Britain's greatest exports, narrating this brand new series. When you watch their extraordinary stories, it's clear that the real-life exploits and bravery of these soldiers would put most silver screen superheroes to shame."

Jonathan Ford, Managing Director, Sphere Abacus said: "This promises to be a fascinating series revealing expert planning along with spine-tingling moments of absolute daring and fearlessness. We can't wait to share even more details with our global clients in Cannes."
