‘Strike Back’ Strikes Back! Series Returns With New Cast

Strike Back is returning to Sky 1 and Cinemax (in the US), albeit with a brand new cast it has been announced.

The award winning drama is set to be revived with the original team behind the cameras, but this will be set after the adventures of Stonebridge (Philip Winchester) and Scott (Sullivan Stapleton). The new version of the show is said to feature more of a ‘Fast and Furious’ type group, rather than focusing on the ‘buddy cop’ style of the previous seasons. This isn’t the first time Strike Back has gone through this sort of change, as the first season starred Richard Armitage & Andrew Lincoln, before they had to leave for Middle Earth and to fight zombies.

The show will see the disavowed and disbanded Section programme restored, in order to track down a notorious terrorist following a brutal prison break. Tasked with covert military intelligence and high-risk operations, the resurrected unit embarks on a lethal manhunt that will uncover a vast web of interconnected criminal activity. As the team journey across the Middle East and Europe, they uncover a deadly conspiracy which threatens to overwhelm them all and change the face of modern warfare forever…

The elite team is formed of Sergeant Daniel ‘Mac’ McAllister (Warren Brown, Luther), Sergeant Samuel Wyatt (Daniel MacPherson, The Shannara Chronicles) Natalie Roberts (Roxanne McKee, Game of Thrones) and Gracie Novin (Alin Sumarwata, Neighbours).

“We’re thrilled to be working with Cinemax again to deliver more edge-of-your-seat action adventure and this latest series of Strike Back is another welcome addition to Sky 1’s ever-growing collection of high quality, home-grown dramas,” commented Adam MacDonald, Director of Sky 1. “At such an interesting time in global politics, this series delivers a compelling take on world events and the murky world of international espionage”.

Strike Back begins filming in 2017, so we should see it either late 2017 or early 2018.
