Strike Back might be headed to the big screen. The series was cancelled after five seasons, but Sky is looking to bring back the characters and series, and they have asked Cinemax to join them.
Entertainment Weekly reported on Friday that Left Bank Pictures is in the early talking stages to bring this series to the big screen. If talks are successful, the movie would start production in South America in 2016.
Will the stars of Strike Back return if the project goes forward? It is being reported that Sullivan Stapleton and Philip Winchester would “likely” reprise their roles. Stapleton currently stars on NBC’s Blindspot and Winchester is also starring on an NBC series, The Player.
If this project moves forward and is successful at the box office, it could be the start of a Strike Back theatrical franchise.
The final season of Strike Back is currently airing on Cinemax on Friday nights. Are you excited about the possibility of Strike Back film franchise? Tell us what you think.

This series was reverting well written better than James’s Band moe realistic with current story lines and the best thing about the series the heros survived against all odds awesome. Anwyway please continue this in movies or series as this will be bigger than James Bond ! Please bring them back and
Yes please.More More!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MORE Strikeback,PLEASE!!!!!
I’ve been hoping for this news since they announced this was the last season!
That’s the best news I had in a while. I think the show is highly underrated. It is better then the most action movies and the chemistry between lead characters is awesome.
I wish Strikeback was on HBO.
Love the show! The six episode prequel with Andrew Lincoln was great, too. A movie franchise would be awesome but Winchester and Stapleton are the two that NEED to be in the TITLE roles. THAT’S a gimme… NO substitutes there!
It’s not very often you get a team together like this and the chemistry is so perfect. The remind me of, Robert Culp and Bill Cosby in I Spy. Or Danny Glover and Mel Gibson in the Lethal Weapon series. The comedy and passion to stay alive is great. The movie will “rock” . If you make it into a movie. Keep the formula you have now. So many times when tv shows go to the big screen they ruin them by making it to cheesey.
Loved this show. Both of the leading actors have new show which are both great. But they made a great pair.. I would love for the show to come back.
I cant wait …. this was a great show
Sounds great, I could not think of a better idea, well other than bringing the TV series back that is.
Would watch movie. Was a great series could have went a coupke more seasons but movie just as good!!!!
