Principal photography has begun on the ten-episode fifth season of Cinemax‘s action-packed drama series, Strike Back, shot on location in Jordan and Hungary with a brand-new cast portraying members of the revived Section 20.
Strike Back’s confidential consultants, who work in the field of counterterrorism, will also return for the new season.
Disavowed and disbanded, the Section program is restored in order to track down a notorious terrorist following a brutal prison break.
“’Strike Back has been critical to defining Cinemax as a destination for adrenalized, combat-based dramas with spectacular production values,” notes Kary Antholis, president of Cinemax.
