Will Strike Back be back for another mission? Recently, stars Philip Winchester and Sullivan Stapleton spoke with TVInsider about the future of the Cinemax TV show.
Winchester and Stapleton play Michael Stonebridge and Damien Scott on the action drama, follows the secretive British Defence Intelligence branch Section 20. The season six cast includes Warren Brown, Daniel MacPherson, Roxanne McKee, and Alin Sumarwata.
Winchester and Stapleton left Strike Back after season five but will return for this season’s final two episodes beginning March 30th. But what about the future? Would Winchester and Stapleton return for a seventh season? Winchester says he’s in if Stapleton is:
Cinemax has yet to announced a season seven renewal for Strike Back. The odds seem unlikely since ratings for this season have been low. So far, season six is averaging a .02 rating in the 18-49 demo and only 119,000 viewers.Winchester: It would all depend on Sully. I don’t think we can capture the lightning in a bottle that we had without each other. He’s my buddy. If he was on board, and there was an offer, we’d make it work.
Stapleton: I’m hoping Stonebridge and Scott show up on a lot more missions. [Laughs]”
What do you think? Do you watch Strike Back? Would you watch a seventh season if Winchester and Stapleton returned full time?
I only watch when Winchester and Stapleton are in it. As far as my interest goes season 1-4 were great but the cast change in season 5 and on don’t have the same magic. I think when they didn’t renew Winchester and Stapleton as the main characters the show sank. Don’t mess with a winning formula.
I would most definitely be up to watch my two favorites of Strike Back. Seasons 1-4 were awesome and I miss the two of them, their banter, their bad-ass attitudes, and Damien’s backside as well. They just rock as a team…. Kudos to the new team for trying to capture the spirit of the show, but I just am honestly not into the show as I once was. If Scott and Sonebridge were to return full time, I’d be one full-time happy viewer and fan.
I love the show. Stapleton and Winchester are great . I loved seeing them for last years finale. I vote for them to come back . Thanks
I would absolutely watch if they continue with season 7 and would love it if Phillip and Sully were a part of it!
I really enjoyed Season 6 with the new cast and seeing Scott and Stonebridge was awesome! I really like the vibe between Phillip, Sullivan, and Alin. I’d love to see both casts again. Hard to beat the original crew. Cinemax needs to advertise the show better. I had no clue that Season 6 even existed until I scrolled thru on demand. I think the poor ratings are related to poor advertising.
I agree they need more advertising. I also found out by accident.
They tried to mimic the chemistry between Stapleton and Winchester but it was lacking. It was still worth watching. I would love to see them return for the series or a stand alone movie. Together they shine.
They have to return. Together they are magic
I would watch it either way. I’m liking the new cast a lot. The return of Phillip and Sully would be amazingly awesome from time to time. Like in this season’s ender.
Way to kick some ass, boys!
According to an article dated March 27th, SB has been renewed for a 7th season.
I saw that too! That makes me happy. I think the group in S6 are just starting to come together. It takes a bit for everything to mesh.
They tried to catch the same chemistry as the other series and I think they just missed it was still enjoyable tho
oh yes ,no brainer sure hiy
The latest season was extremely disappointing. The girls were good, but the men had zero chemistry.
