"Battlestar Galactica" alum Jamie Bamber and Yasemin Allen (Water and Fire) have signed on to the cast of Cinemax’s "Strike Back", joining returning stars Warren Brown, Daniel MacPherson and Alin Sumarwata.

Filming has begun on the 10-episode Season 6, which will be shot entirely in Malaysia.

In the new season, when a Russian bomber crashes in the South China Sea, the covert special-ops soldiers of Section 20 — Thomas “Mac” McAllister (Brown), Samuel Wyatt (MacPherson) and Gracie Novin (Sumarwata) — are sent on a mission to investigate. There, they cross paths with Katrina Zarkova (Allen), a rogue Russian operative with questionable loyalties.

Under orders of the new commanding officer, Col. Alexander Coltrane (Bamber), Section 20 pursues stolen contents of the Russian jet across Southeast Asia. They will work alongside the Malaysian police to shut down a Triad gang in Kuala Lumpur, uncover a corrupt plot by a wealthy Indian businesswoman running for Parliament and plunge into the jungles of the Golden Triangle in Myanmar, facing off against mercenary drug agents and terrifying warlords, as they uncover a conspiracy that threatens to push the world to the brink of global conflict.

James,

Thank for the season 6 update! There is no mention of Roxanne McKee who play Captain Natalie Reynolds, the immediate leader of the group? She must have gone in hiding or London head got her assasinated? Really like Captain Reynolds!

Updated: It looks like the producers have decided to drop Roxanne McKee for season 7! McKee twitter account still has a big heading banner of Strike Back! but no more updated posts since early April. I think she was notified at that time. She was looking forward to shooting season 7 too!

Roxanne McKee Strike Back twitter content is gone!

Looks like Roxanne McKee has been written out for the Season 7! I will miss her! In time we will know what was behind her not being renewed for Season 7! Season 6 did experience low viewership in the U.S. market.

"Strike Back" Renewed for Seventh & Final Season at Cinemax

Cinemax’s signature original series, "Strike Back", has been picked up for a seventh season, which will be the action drama’s last. This is an early renewal for the series, which is currently airing its sixth season, slated to wrap its run March 29.

"Strike Back" has been a legacy series for Cinemax. It was the network’s first primetime drama series, which launched Cinemax’s foray into original programming eight years ago.



After a short break following Season 4, "Strike Back" was summoned back to lead Cinemax’s rebrand as a destination for fun, mostly action-packed, original programming. The rebooted acrioneer kicked off Cinemax’s relaunch last February with a fifth season that moved away from the buddy format of the original series to a diverse ensemble in the vein of the Fast & the Furious franchise.

The show follows the explosive escapades of Section 20, an elite, multinational, covert special ops team, as it spans the globe fighting a vast web of interconnected criminal and terrorist activity.






“Strike Back established Cinemax as a destination for adrenalized, entertaining action series nearly a decade ago,” said Kary Antholis, president, HBO Miniseries and Cinemax Programming.

“It is with sincere gratitude for the service of all of the past and present members of Section 20 – both in front of and behind the camera – that we send the team of on one last mission to save the world from annihilation.”



“I am delighted we’re coming back for a final season,” said EP Jack Lothian.

“Strike Back is a show that’s always raised the bar for small screen action, and we’re looking forward to doing that one last time. There are plenty of twists and turns ahead, but I can promise one thing — we’re going out with a bang.”
