“Strike Back established Cinemax as a destination for adrenalized, entertaining action series nearly a decade ago,” HBO Miniseries and Cinemax Programming president Kary Antholis said in a press release. “It is with sincere gratitude for the service of all of the past and present members of Section 20 – both in front of and behind the camera – that we send the team of on one last mission to save the world from annihilation.”
The series, showrun by Jack Lothian (Origin) and based on the novel of the same name from novelist and former Special Air Service soldier Chris Ryan, follows the the secretive branch of the British Defence Intelligence service, Section 20, and the covert, dangerous and often explosive global missions to bring down major criminal and terrorist threats.
“I am delighted we’re coming back for a final season,” Lothian said. “Strike Back is a show that’s always raised the bar for small-screen action, and we’re looking forward to doing that one last time. There are plenty of twists and turns ahead, but I can promise one thing – we’re going out with a bang.”
