We’ve been following Strike Back since it debuted a couple months ago and so far, we like it. Apparently, so do enough other people, including the network, as Cinemax has decided to give it a second season.

The show was given a 10-episode order and is set to air next year. Filming will begin in South Africa in early 2012.

Season 1 stars Sullivan Stapleton and Philip Winchester, Amanda Mealing, Eva Birthistle, Jimi Mistry, Rhashan Stone, Michelle Lukes and Richard Armitage. It tells the story of a charismatic former U.S. Special Forces operative (Stapleton) who joins with a stealth British military unit when a resourceful international terrorist group plots a major attack.

In spite of the announcement of a second season, Cinemax is not confirming which cast members will be returning or if any new cast is joining the show. Their reason? “Plot spoilers in upcoming episodes.”

If you’re a fan of the show, guess that means you shouldn’t get too attached to any of the characters. Season one of Strike Back airs Friday nights at 10/9C on Cinemax.

Truth be told, I’m enjoying Cinemax’s Strike Back. It kinda kicks ass. So, this week we’ve got a new preview and some pics from tonight’s episode to share with you.

Here’s the scoop for those of you just joining us:

“When a resourceful international terrorist group plots an attack, a charismatic former U.S. Special Forces operative joins forces with a stealth British military unit to stop them.” Don’t worry, it’s not all talk or anything. Stuff blows up. I mean a lot of stuff.

The show features Sullivan Stapleton, Philip Winchester, Amanda Mealing, Eva Birthistle, Jimi Mistry, Rhashan Stone and Richard Armitage.

Check out the preview and the new pics after the break. Strike Back is on tonight at 10/9C on Cinemax.

As pay cable TV series go, it’s usually HBO that comes through with the quality. Shows such as The Sopranos, True Blood, Game of Thrones and more have consistently delivered the highest standard for your entertainment dollar.

Now HBO’s sister network, Cinemax, is ready to get into the fray with a new show of its very own. That show, a co-production between the network and the UK’s Sky, is called Strike Back and from the looks of it it promises pretty much all-action all the time.

Here’s some scoop on the show’s premise directly from Cinemax: “When a resourceful international terrorist group plots an attack, a charismatic former U.S. Special Forces operative joins forces with a stealth British military unit to stop them.” Okay, I like what you’ve done here. Go on.

The show features Sullivan Stapleton, Philip Winchester, Amanda Mealing, Eva Birthistle, Jimi Mistry, Rhashan Stone and Richard Armitage. Click through to check out the video. We’ve also included a few extra ones like the show’s trailer and a “meet the guys” video for you too. Enjoy.

Strike Back premieres tonight at 10/9C on Cinemax.
