Leverage is coming back, and the revival now has its own title – Leverage: Redemption. Aldis Hodge spoke about reviving the popular TNT series in a recent interview with Collider. Beth Riesgraf, Gina Bellman, and Christian Kane are also returning from the original series, and Noah Wyle and Aleyse Shannon have joined the cast for the revival.
A premiere date for the revival, set for IMDb TV, has not been revealed, but it will likely arrive later this year. Hodge said the following about potentially doing more of Leverage: Redemption:
“Yeah, if [Leverage] continues and [my] schedule allows and permits. The first series for Leverage, I hold it near and dear to my heart. It’s something that we all built, and living in the wake of its legacy, Leverage, now entitled Leverage: Redemption, is definitely something that I plan to continue with, just for the nostalgia of it. I know the fans love it and I have fun with it. We have a great new cast. We have a new cast member, her name is Aleyse Shannon and she’s really fantastic. We also have Noah Wyle, as one of our cast members. Aleyse comes on playing my adopted little sister. She’s a really bright light with great energy, and I’d love to see where she’s at. I really wanna see where their brother-sister relationship goes.”
Hodge spoke about the fan support the original series had, and that is a big reason for the revival moving forward. Series producer Dean Devlin had just been looking for the right home for the series and Amazon’s IMDb TV is that home. The revival began production in August.
What do you think? Are you excited to see Leverage: Redemption when it arrives on IMDb TV later this year?
Look forward new series so good worth watching it never missed any episodes of it. I can’t wait to keep watching.
Can’t wait for the return. I agree with others it should not have been cancelled. However I do think Timothy Hutton played a very important character in this series, he was their leader and so perfect in that role. I hope he comes back at some point too. Love them all, and who doesn’t love Christian Kane?
I can’t wait to see it look so good poster hopefully it continues use love this show so excited.
Yes…love the show…hope it continues..
I loved Leverage and can’t wait to see it come back. But I will surely miss Christian Kane’s new show. It was awesome! He is a great actor!
It would be nice if it was going to air on a channel I get. All this streaming stuff is for the birds. I pay a bundle for cable & get no streaming.
I loved Leverage. Will Timothy Hutton be in it? I don’t particularly like Wylie, but will give him a chance.
I canceled my cable and bought 6 Amazon fire sticks at $40 a pop. And I subscribe to Hulu live for less than $100. I’m very happy with my decision
This is great news. Leverage was an excellent show that shouldn’t have been canceled in the first place. Can’t wait.
Love Leverage! Glad it’s coming back.
Soooooo happy they are coming back been watching reruns an hulu whenever it’s on in fact watching it right now love it u guys are awesome.
Wonderful to hear Leverage is coming back. Love the show.
Fantastic, can’t wait for the show to start, it should of never got taken off the air, everyone is great in it, I only hope Christian Kane can still do Almost Paradise, another great Dean Devlin produced show, waiting for season 2
I absolutely loved leverage saw all the episodes I only wish timothy Hutton was also coming back. His character on the show and relationships he had with his crew was outstanding i really wish he would.be included..
I also wish Timothy Hutton with coming back. I’d like to know while in the librarians, But I don’t think hes going to be as good as Timothy Hutton was in this series.
I’m so excited to be getting new episodes of leverage. It’s one of the few shows I watch. Love the entire cast. Especially Christian wand Beth Reisgraf. I’m bummed that Tim Hutton is not in it though. Can’t wait for it to air!!
Me too it reminds me of my other favorite show mission: impossible lead by Peter Graves. U would love that too. Love the chemistry amongst the characters in both shows. Something good to watch again.
Looking forward to see the Robinhoodlums of #Leverage together again.. It is where i first discovered Christian Kane and have been waiting many years for this! Thanks for sharing!
Glad to see Leverage return, but it desperately needs Timothy Hutton
