TV show description:
An action and military TV series, this show focuses mainly on Michael Stonebridge and Damien Scott; two members of a top-secret intelligence agency known as Section 20.
A clear-thinking and reliable soldier, British Sergeant Michael Stonebridge (Philip Winchester) brings strategic clout to Section 20. He and his wife Kerry are the picture of a perfect couple, but there’s more going on in his family life than meets the eye.
Damien Scott (Sullivan Stapleton) is a former Delta Force commando who was discharged on the eve of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. His confidence with a weapon is matched only by his way with women. While his cocky style is often at odds with his more staid colleagues, he always gets the job done.
Captain Kate Marshall (Eva Birthistle) is a highly educated, highly trained, highly attuned military intelligence analyst. She’s no desk jockey though and is actually one of Section 20’s most skilled and experienced undercover operatives.
Colonel Eleanor Grant (Amanda Mealing) is the no-nonsense commander of Section 20, an elite military black ops unit within the British government that focuses on high-risk, top-priority targets. She’s clear, authoritative and smart as hell.
Captain Oliver Sinclair (Rhashan Stone) is Section 20’s chief intelligence officer, responsible for the logistics and management of the entire team and the high-tech mobile unit known as the crib. In all day-to-day operations, he is Colonel Grant’s right-hand man.
Sergeant Julia Richmond (Michelle Lukes) is Section 20’s chief communications officer, responsible for maintaining contact with agents in the field and all other relevant transmissions. She is exceptionally bright, technologically adept and proficient in several languages.
Episode #76
After receiving shocking intel from an unlikely Russian informant, S20 decides to reunite for one final mission to track down Arianna (Ivana Milicevic) and avenge their comrades. This time, however, they’re doing things a little differently.
First aired: April 17, 2020.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Strike Back TV series? Do you think it should have been renewed for a ninth season?
Love the show! I guess all good things must end, but Strike Back? Really?!?!? Jmissil
This show would have been a LOT better if it would ahve stopped trying to pretend ANY women could be “kick-ass commandos”… Every woman in this show is a joke and just further reinforces exactly why women don’t serve a purpose (and are utterly incompetent liabilities) in combat ops in the real-world. Dump the broads and this show would be a LOT better.
Love the original show-want the original cast back instead of new cast. It doesn’t have the same feel as the original. Very disappointed with revived show.
Yes, Please Renew It!!
I am waiting for Michael to avenge Col. Locke. I watch the whole series every few months. I love shows with heros. i can’t wait for the new series.
It’s just not the same without my guys. Why’d you have to go and get me excited only to be let down after not seeing Michael and Damien in episode one! Truly sucks!
Please be patient. I think that Michael and Damien will come back to the show being as though Phillip Winchester is no longer doing NBC’s Chicago Justice and it’s only a matter of Sullivan Stapleton’s schedule. But when they come back to the show Let the fireworks begin.
I am a just a fan who is just so happy to know this great awesome show STRIKE BACK is coming back
Please don’t cancel ” strike back ” it is hands down the best television series I have ever watched and I will forever miss my brother’s Scott and stonebridge . I know even the Best shows can’t go on forever but only five season ! I feel the show has only just begun and there’s more of the story to be told .
I think the show should continue, it’s not like the writer can’t find another crooked country. Saudi Arabia would be a perfect place to start!! I personally Love me some D. Scott and Stonebridge. Please bring back Strike Back.
Please I beg bring this show back, please, please, please
Why did you cancel this series? I miss the “Boys”. Maybe you can do another series using the 2 of them. They had great screen chemistry. I love this show. Now it is gone. I like Outcast too. But I still miss everyone on Strike back. It is a great show. I am watching reruns as I write this. Too bad it was canceled when you had and have so many fans? Hope to see you both again soon. I am watching Blind spot. The Player was s disappointing. Should have let Stonebridge be English. Accent and all. Would have… Read more »
