"Strike Back" will be striking back to TV with Malaysia set as its main shooting location

20 Apr – The seventh season of the American-British action adventure series, "Strike Back", is currently in its pre-production stage in Malaysia with shooting scheduled to begin later this month.

Reported by KFTV, the Left Bank Pictures and Cinemax's blockbuster action drama series will be heading to Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios in Johor as its base for production.

Cast and storyline details have yet to be confirmed, but the series is scheduled for a five month shooting period within Malaysia.

"Strike Back" is based off the novel of the same title, written by former Special Air Service soldier, Chris Ryan.

The series follows the operations of Section 20, a secret squad of military experts from the British Defence Intelligence service that goes through extremely dangerous missions across the globe.
