>Global Strike action
By Tim Oglethorpe - 28/07/2010 - TV LAND
Rugged stars of Sky One's acclaimed action drama Strike Back had better make sure their passports are up to date - the show could be going global.
The USA, South America and Europe are all possible locations for series two, which will focus on the further adventures of action hero John Porter (Richard Armitage).
"The first series was shot in South Africa and part of series two is likely to be filmed there, too," says an insider. "But there are ambitious plans to take Porter, and the series, further afield."

If this is true, it is happy news indeed. Richard Armitage was a great casting choice as the lead in Chris Ryan's Strike Back. I love this show and look forward with great anticipation to a second series. I'll be the first to pre-order the DVD.<

[Ricrar: John Porter might come to the USA. hmmm...need to find a contact at the Pentagon or CIA who'll make an excuse to confine him indefinitely for interrogation purposes. Our guest room would do nicely.. teehee Oh, now wait - forget that idea - we saw what he did to the room ep 1&2 SB. Then again, might be worth the destruction to see Porter burst out with fire in his eyes:]

Sincere Thank You to http://www.acemarsupial.co.uk/ for reporting this most welcome news.
>More Strike Back The Daily Mirror (28th July) reports that there will be a second series of Strike Back. It quotes 'an insider' on the show as saying that although part of series 2 will be shot in South Africa, the new stories will take John Porter further afield, possibly to South America, the USA and Europe. The first series, set in Iraq, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan and Pakistan, was filmed in South Africa.
There has been no official announcement from Sky yet about the show's recommissioning but the intention had always been to make more than one series if possible. Speaking at a public screening of the first two episodes at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts in London in April, executive producer Andy Harries (from Left Bank Pictures, the production company that made Strike Back) said, "There's no end of potential places John Porter could go."<
