We can’t believe it’s been over two years since the final episode of Strike Back aired back in July 2015. We’ve really missed not having a new season to look forward to so were delighted when Sky and Cinemax announced they were rebooting the show.
Disavowed and disbanded, the Section programme is restored in order to track down a notorious terrorist following a brutal prison break. Tasked with covert military intelligence and high-risk operations, the resurrected unit embarks on a lethal manhunt that will uncover a vast web of interconnected criminal activity. As the team journey across the Middle East and Europe, they uncover a deadly conspiracy which threatens to overwhelm them all and change the face of modern warfare forever.
Cinemax have released three teaser trailers to get us excited for the return of the show. You can watch all three below.

A first look image of the new Section 20 team was released back in May this year. The new team are Sergeant Samuel Wyatt (Daniel MacPherson – The Shannara Chronicles), Natalie Roberts (Roxanne McKee – Game of Thrones), Sergeant Daniel ‘Mac’ McAllister (Warren Brown – Luther) and Gracie Novin (Alin Sumarwata – Neighbours). They can also be seen in the new key art for the show at the top of this article.
