“We do blow up cars on Wednesdays on ‘Strike Back.’ It’s very important that we do that. It’s in the contract.” – Philip Winchester
This summer, “Strike Back” is returning for its third season on Cinemax, as Philip Winchester and Sullivan Stapleton reprise their roles as Michael Stonebridge and Damien Scott: two of the primary members of Section 20, a secretive British paramilitary unit that hunts down terrorists around the world.
Although the third season premiere is still a few months away, Cinemax has passed along a new exclusive video from being-the-scenes of “Strike Back” from the 43rd day of production in Johannesburg, South Africa. In the clip, Winchester describes a planned car explosion stunt and he even details a slight mishap he suffered while shooting the scene…
Also returning this season on “Strike Back” are Rhona Mitra, Michelle Lukes and Liam Garrigan, with Robson Green (“Wire in the Blood”) also appearing as a new addition to the Section 20 team. “Hemlock Grove” co-star and recent “Doctor Who” guest star, Dougray Scott also has a major role this season as a rogue operative named James Leatherby, with Milauna Jackson (“Blood Done Sign My Name”) also signed to portray a “key player” in the new storyline.
A specific premiere date for “Strike Back” Season 3 hasn’t been announced yet, but the last two seasons debuted in mid August, so it will probably stay in that general time frame.
