Strike Back (known as Strike Back: Project Dawn in the UK) is a British-American action television series created as a spin-off of the original UK series Strike Back which follows the actions of Section 20, a secret branch of the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), particularly two of its officers, Michael Stonebridge and former American Delta Force operative Damian Scott.

The series premiered in the USA on Cinemax on 12 August, 2011.

Strike Back premiered in South Africa on M-Net (simulcast in HD) on Friday 15 June 2012, at 21h30. See "Seasons" below for seasonal broadcast dates and times.

Season 2 premiered on M-Net on Friday 26 October 2012, at 21h30. New episodes broadcast weekly. There are 10 episodes in the second season.

Season 2

A high-octane, globe-spanning thriller with storylines ripped from today's headlines, Strike Back, Cinemax's first scripted prime-time original drama series, focuses on two members of a top-secret intelligence agency known as Section 20: Michael Stonebridge, a British sergeant on the elite counter-terrorism team, and Damien Scott, a former U.S. Delta Force operative who was discharged on the eve of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

Stonebridge, Scott and the rest of Section 20 criss-cross the globe on the trail of a deadly international terrorist named Latif, who is planning a major attack involving a cache of WMD that could have global repercussions.

The timely, fast-paced series mixes suspense, action and drama, spanning the globe from India to South Africa, from England to Chechnya. It was shot on location in South Africa and Hungary.

In the second season: Stonebridge has the safe "desk job" he promised his wife, actually training recruits for Section 20, but she had a miscarriage and the work frustrates him, especially now veteran mate Craig Hanson's kid brother Jake isn't up to his legacy.

Scott accepted the apparently boring security for the collecting of toppled Libyan president Kadhafi's former confident Armali in Kenya, who brings a top-secret case to British consular officials Patrick Burton, about to be retired involuntarily despite his devotion to eastern Africa, and junior attaché Rachel Dalton.

By surprise, they are captured by Somalian war lord Waabti, presumably for ransom. Damien got away first, but is caught during his rescue attempt.

SAS general Bennet won't sanction a second rescue, and is looking for a pretext to question Section 20's very existence.

Strike Back is a CINEMAX Presentation in association with British Sky Broadcasting Limited; a Left Bank Pictures Production; executive producer, Andy Harries; series producer, Michael Casey; co-executive producers, Michael J. Bassett, James Dormer and Tim Vaughan; producers, Selwyn Roberts and Chris Thompson; co-producer, Bill Shepard.
