Strike Back Season 4 resumes production; Michelle Yeoh among new cast members

The Cinemax action-drama series Strike Back recently resumed production on Season 4 (its final season) in Europe, the network said today. The show’s production had been on hiatus to allow star Sullivan Stapleton the chance to recuperate from a non-set-related injury sustained earlier this year. Production on Strike Back Season 4 will continue through the fall, with additional production in Thailand, according to Cinemax.

In the release about the restarting of production, Cinemax also mentioned that several new cast members are now on board, including Michelle Yeoh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon II), Dustin Clare (the Spartacus series), Will Yun Lee (The Wolverine, True Blood), James Wilby (Gosford Park), Adrian Paul (the Highlander series), Joseph Gatt (Game of Thrones, Teen Wolf, Banshee), Christian Antidormi (Spartacus: War of the Damned) and British mixed martial arts champion and UFC fighter Michael Bisping.

Also new are Michael McElhatton (Roose Bolton in Game of Thrones), Max Beesley (Suits), Tim McInnerny (Notting Hill), Leo Gregory (Tristan and Isolde), Mark Griffin (Doctor Who), Wolf Kahler (Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows), Andrew Pleavin (300: Rise of an Empire), Eliza Hope Bennett (Nanny McPhee) and Masa Yamaguchi (The Wolverine).

Returning with Sullivan Stapleton in the series are Philip Winchester, Robson Green, Michelle Lukes and Milauna Jackson.

Strike Back Season 4 will feature 10 episodes and air on Cinemax and UK partner Sky 1 in 2015.
