PREVIOUSLY: Strike Back is coming back to TV.

Cinemax has ordered a reboot of the military action series with an entirely new cast and characters, Variety has confirmed.

Strike Back’s last season concluded in July 2015 on Cinemax, after the network announced that the season would be the show’s final. Before the four original seasons aired on Cinemax, the first season of the franchise, Strike Back: Origins, aired on the U.K.’s Sky1.

The new, revitalized version on Cinemax will star Alin Sumarwata, Daniel MacPherson, Roxanne McKee and Warren Brown. Andy Harries, an alum of the “Strike Back” franchise, brought back the series, which hails from his Left Bank Pictures. Jack Lothian is the writer and showrunner.

I haven’t really gotten around to checking this show out, but have been advised to.  Maybe now is the time.
