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.

Let’s not waste life for nought but explore this wonderful world! It remains to take a step, just click secrets of the planet and you will see all the riches of our… Read more »
Strike Back was one of my all time favorite tv shows. Everything about show, from the acting to the theme song, were top notch and I am so disappointed that Cinemax decided to cancel the show but I am glad that they choose not to kill off Michael and Damien in the season finale. I like to think that my two favorite soldiers are alive and well and living it up somewhere in make believe land. Philip and Sullivan are excellent actors and their chemistry on screen was undeniable. I wish them both well in their new shows (Player and… Read more »

I am very disappointed that Strike Back is being cancelled, I really enjoyed this serious. Plenty of action and a real life issues.
i miss the strike back wish it still on
Good news strike back is coming back to tv yeaay ! Hopefully Damien Scott and Michael Stonebridge will be back also. Blow up some stuff section 20!
Can’t get enough of Strike back. This show is sexy, action packed and allows the viewer to travel vicariously to all the countries where this show is filmed. I thought it was a guys guy show but it’s not just for guys! Damien and Michael are equally sexy. The fact that women are formidable commanders with moxy who take no prisoners. Love Dalton! She is my kind if woman! No, I am not gay. Lots of incredibly steamy sex. Damien is every woman’s sexual fantasy and great to watch. Michael, well he’s solidly sexy. And, the Scotsman’s gay scene was… Read more »
One of our favorite shows. Husband and I will really miss it.
This was the perfect soldiers show. Especially for those of x special ops. I’m sad I didn’t learn about it it I’ll it’s closing season. I hope they do something to continue it. Even w new actors since I know they are already on new shows (player and blindspot) though I hate to see a show with out their chemistry. Anyway hope it gets life again.
Excellent show – bought seasons 1-3 on DVD. Wife and I love it. Was considering getting cinimax to view new seasons – I guess no need now.
Strike Back is a great series with great acting an a lot of action!Please dont end it.
Great show, and my favorite, but I have only seen first 3 years on Kindle. How can I get the remaining shows?
One of the BEST shows on TV!!! Superb acting and great storyline!!! Please bring back for another season!!!
Strike Back is one of my and my husband’s favorite shows…..wish it could stay on years longer!!!!!
This was one of the smartest, action packed shows that I have ever seen. The actors, the scripts, and the locations, plus all the action rare television series that I have ever seen. The actors made me believe that I was actually watching the real deal. It deserved renewal more than a lot of the slop on tv today.
