Sky have issued a press release for Strike Back, which confirms that the series will air during the week 1 – 7 May 2010 on Sky1 and Sky HD. There will be 6 x 1 hour episodes, although each pair of episodes tells a separate story.

There is also a detailed episode synopsis further down the press release, but be warned this contains many spoilers for the show.

Richard is quoted as saying: “It’s an ambitious project for television. We’ve made three feature films on a TV budget and schedule. But the advantage of that is that these three feature films are linked together so you get a really interesting character arc through all episodes. American television is being brave and doing that at the moment, and this is stepping into that area.”
