Some familiar faces are returning to Strike Back. This week, Cinemax announced Sullivan Stapleton and Philip Winchester will guest on the TV series’ sixth season.
Stapleton and Winchester starred in seasons two through five of the UK action drama, which follows the secretive British Defence Intelligence branch Section 20. The season six cast includes Warren Brown, Daniel MacPherson, Roxanne McKee, and Alin Sumarwata.
For season six, Stapleton and Winchester will reprise their original Strike Back roles as Sgt. Damien Scott and Sgt. Michael Stonebridge, respectively. They will guest in two episodes of the Cinemax series, beginning on March 30th at 10 p.m. ET/PT and concluding with the season six finale on April 6th at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Note: This is considered the sixth season in the UK where the series originates. Cinemax picked up the show starting with season two in 2011. Then, in 2013, they went back and aired the first season of six episodes as a special mini-series called Origins.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Strike Back? Are you glad both Stapleton and Winchester are returning?
God bless
Can’t wait to see them back. Hope they can make more appearances as I love this show!!!
So excited they will be back. I think there chemistry of there smart comments is what makes the show. They are awesome actors and easy on the eyes also.
Yippie! It’s refreshing to see Scott and Stonebridge Again. I wished that they started season 6 from the beginning I also hope that Martinez from season 5 makes an cameo appearance sometime in the future. Let the shootout and the explosions begin!
Best news I’ve heard! Still having trouble getting use to new season with new cast. It just doesn’t seem the same without Stapleton and Winchester
Now, that is exciting news. My favourite ‘action’ program is going to bring back my two favourite ‘action’ stars. With an excellent cast, plus the two guest stars,and the best ever theme song “Short Change Hero”(from “The Heavy”), what is not to love? Thanks to whomever pushed to bring back the best covert ops show EVER….may it never end.
Love them!!! Glad to see them come back. Still trying to get into the reboot
Best action series on television….hands down!!
Stone bridge and Scott are superb now when it’s out on dvd season 6 i will buy as they are my favourite characters
Yes glad to see them back if only for 2 episodes
Yes I think it is a great show full of entertainment and a plausible story line. I am not a fan of the new reboot so having Sullivan Stapleton and Phillip Winchester returning might give the series some credibility.
