RESCUE Special Ops – Series debut: Sunday, August 2 at 8.30pm

Channel Nine will take audiences on a thrilling ride in the high adventure new drama series RESCUE Special Ops.

Premiering Sunday, August 2 at 8.30pm, RESCUE Special Ops stars an acclaimed ensemble cast including Les Hill, Peter Phelps, Libby Tanner, Gigi Edgley, Daniel Amalm, Andrew Lees and Katherine Hicks.

They are the elite of the elite. Experienced paramedics in peak physical condition, the team at RESCUE Special Ops are called in for complex search and rescue operations. With the latest in tools and training, they can access anyone, anywhere, under any conditions.

Dean (Les Hill) and Chase Gallagher (Andrew Lees) are brothers. Highly competitive, they argue over everything, agree on nothing, but defend each other from outsiders no matter what.

Their boss Michelle (Libby Tanner) and logistics manager Vince (Peter Phelps) are the best in the business, highly professional and cool under pressure. The rest of the elite unit includes Lara (Gigi Edgley), Jordan (Daniel Amalm), and Heidi (Katherine Hicks)

The job brings them face to face with life and death situations every day, which they endure with their training and a fair dose of humour. Deep down they’re just like anyone else, juggling love, life and career.

Jo Horsburgh, Head of Drama for the Nine Network said:

“With the series about to make its debut, it’s been exciting and rewarding to receive such positive feedback on RESCUE Special Ops, confirming what we always believed about the series, it has great stories, a talented cast and is a terrific Aussie drama that audiences will enjoy.”

RESCUE Special Ops will also feature outstanding guest stars including Sacha Horler, Damian Walshe Howling, Gyton Grantley, Emma Lung, Wil Traval, Gary Sweet, Simmone Jade Mackinnon, Martin Dingle Wall, Tim McCunn, Jessica Tovey and Jeremy Lindsay Taylor.

Join these heroes who risk their lives to rescue others when RESCUE Special Ops debuts Sunday, August 2 at 8.30pm on Channel Nine.
