“SAS” is a broad title, so “where is SAS filmed” can mean a few different shows or films. To give a genuinely useful answer, here are the main possibilities and where each is filmed.

Main things “SAS” can mean

1. SAS Australia (reality show)

This is the celebrity military-style reality series where recruits undergo special forces–style training in harsh environments.

Typical filming locations by season include:

  • Remote, cold, and rugged areas in Australia (for early seasons), chosen for freezing temperatures and bleak landscapes that mimic special forces training grounds.
  • Later seasons have shifted to an “undisclosed overseas base,” again with harsh terrain for sand, wind, and endurance tests.

If your question is about the current or latest season, it is usually promoted as being in a secret or undisclosed location, but press coverage identifies it broadly as a remote military-style training environment, sometimes outside mainland Australia.

2. SAS: Rogue Heroes (BBC drama)

This scripted drama about the founding of the British SAS is set in North Africa during World War II, but it is not filmed there exclusively.

Key filming details:

  • A lot of production takes place in England , using locations in counties such as Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Berkshire (White Waltham Airfield), and Hampshire, which double for Cairo, airfields, and desert training areas.
  • Additional desert and town scenes are filmed in Morocco , standing in for the Libyan desert and other North African settings.

3. SAS: Red Notice / SAS: Rise of the Black Swan (film)

This action thriller, released under both titles depending on region, follows an SAS operator dealing with a terrorist hijack in and around the Channel Tunnel.

Major filming locations:

  • Budapest, Hungary – primary production base, including studio work at Mafilm Studios and various Budapest interiors standing in for London and the Channel Tunnel.
  • England – establishing shots such as London St Pancras International Station and other UK settings.
  • Mallorca, Spain – the dramatic clifftop villa used for the Buckingham residence in Mallorca.

So although the story is mostly set between the UK and mainland Europe, much of the film is physically shot in Hungary, with select scenes in England and Spain.

4. SAS: Who Dares Wins (UK reality series)

This is the original Channel 4 reality format that SAS Australia is based on.

  • Early series used a specially rigged training compound with multiple interior rooms (dorms, mess, interrogation spaces, “beasting” area), wired with dozens of fixed cameras to observe recruits with minimal interference.
  • The exact geographic locations vary by series and are often remote training sites, but the production emphasizes realistic, barracks-style environments reminiscent of special forces selection.

Quick pointers

If you clarify which “SAS” you mean, here’s the short version:

  • “Where is SAS Australia filmed?” → Remote, harsh training locations in and beyond Australia, most recently at an undisclosed overseas base.
  • “Where is SAS Rogue Heroes filmed?” → Mostly England (standing in for Cairo and bases) plus Morocco for desert and North African exteriors.
  • “Where is SAS: Red Notice / Rise of the Black Swan filmed?” → Primarily Budapest, with scenes in England and on the island of Mallorca in Spain.
