The Leverage cast members are back to work on set. The revival series is now in its second week of production in New Orleans, Louisiana. The revival series is headed to IMDb TV while the original ran for five seasons and 77 episodes on TNT, from 2008 until 2012.
Deadline revealed more about the start of production for the new Leverage:
“As documented in detail on social media by Devlin and the Leverage cast, the series’ in-person table read was on Aug. 4, with actors sitting 6 feet apart and wearing face shields. Cameras started rolling on Aug. 10, and the first week of shooting went well, sources said.”
The original cast is returning for the series for the most part. Christian Kane, Aldis Hodge, Gina Bellman, and Beth Riesgraf are joined by Noah Wyle for the new series.
A premiere date for the revived series has not yet been revealed.

What do you think? Are you a fan of Leverage? Will you watch the revival on IMDb TV?
So glad my favourite show is coming back!! I re-watch the original series at least once a year. Stellar cast. Can’t wait!! Sad that Timothy Hutton is not returning but I’m sure that Noah Wyle will be an excellent addition. Looking forward to seeing the ever handsome Christian Kane back!!as well as Aldis, Beth, and Gina. Best christmas present ever. Love u guys!!
LEVERAGE was a great fun show perfect mix of drama/comedy so was “Whiskey Cavalier”–I really think some network should have another look at this show and pick it up!
Such a. Great show can’t wait to come back whenever premiere date one of my favorite shows. So excited.
Leverage was a really great show and I couldn’t believe it was taken off and I think because it aired the same time as other well watched shows. To much competition. The whole cast were excellent in their roles. Very happy about their come back.
Fans have been waiting a long time for this.. We are excited.. Thanks for sharing

I will give the show a watch. Always liked the show before and hope it’s as good this time
out. With so much of the cast back and Noah on board it should be good.
Hell Yeah! Leverage returns AND Noah Wyle? Can’t wait!
Loved the old show cannot wait for the restart
