"Cinemax is to air the original Strike Back in the US. The action drama started life as a Sky-produced UK series, starring Richard Armitage as Section 20 operative John Porter.   From the second season onwards, the series was co-produced by Sky and Cinemax, with this follow-up run being the first to air in the US. Armitage&amp;#039;s original lead John Porter was also killed off early into season two and replaced by new protagonists Michael Stonebridge (Philip Winchester) and Damian Scott (Sullivan Stapleton). Cinemax will now air the original Armitage episodes in the US for the first time, under the title Strike Back: Origins, reports HitFix. The Walking Dead star Andrew Lincoln also starred in the initial run, which will air on Fridays at 10/9c later this year. The fourth season of Strike Back - the third to air in the US - is currently airing on Cinemax and will come to Sky1 in the near future. &amp;gt; Strike Back renewed for another season Watch Cinemax&amp;#039;s trailer for Strike Back: Origins below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
