Is Philip Winchester returning for the upcoming Strike Back reboot? Recently, the star spoke with TV Guide about the Cinemax TV series.
Winchester played Sergeant Michael Stonebridge on the original action drama, which followed the missions of Section 20, a classified branch of the British Defence Intelligence service. The cast also included Richard Armitage, Andrew Lincoln, Colin Salmon, and Shelley Conn. The show lasted for five seasons before ending in 2015.
Speaking to TV Guide, Winchester said he’d like to revisit the series:
If we can work it out in our hiatus and get them when they’re in Budapest or Jordan, where they’re filming this year, if we can cross over and have a few weeks where it actually works out, I’d like to go back for a little bit and see everybody.”
However, he did mention one hesitation:
I was really pleased with how it ended so I’m conflicted about going back just to sort of rekindle something that might not end well.”
Currently, Winchester stars on NBC‘s upcoming spin-off Chicago Justice, which premieres on March 1st.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Strike Back? Do you think Winchester should return for the Cinemax reboot?
yes please bring him back i love him
Why no resolution to Andrew Lincolns character ? Know he was a bad guy but not finish and no anything to end him.
I think it would be great to have all the cast back together and continue the show. I love Strike Back and the first preseason with Richard Armitage and Andrew Lincoln. Great show and great writing and easy on the eyes 🙂 Thank you.
It won’t be the same without the Mike-Scott tag team, those guys made the last show.
He needs to come back, Chicago Justice got canned so if he don’t have any other projects lined up might as well go back to a successful franchise..DUH
If Philip is coming back, Sullivan has gotta come back also. Love this show
I would love for the pair to come back! My entire family is watching the series now on Demand & we love it! Still haven’t seen the end but no show ever has a “final” ending. If the duo were left alive, than there’s no reason not to pick up where they left off! Stapleton, you must come back too. It wouldn’t be the same without ya. The 2 of you as a partnership is what makes the show what it is, which is an awesome storyline with lots of action that keeps everyone off their phones, laptops, & iPads.… Read more »
I am a fan of the show and would love to see him and Stapleton return for the show in any capacity. Also as fan it bothers me that you have little idea about the show youre writing about. Armitage and Lincoln only starred in the first season.
