Leverage: Redemption arrives nearly nine years after its predecessor, Leverage, concluded its five-season run on TNT. In the new series, the beloved crew are striking back after seeing how the rich and powerful have continued to advance over the last several years. 

ER alum Noah Wyle joins as Harry Wilson, an attorney who realizes he's been working on the wrong side, and Aleyse Shannon as Hardison's tech savvy foster sister, Breanna Casey.

IMDb TV announced the new series in April 2020. Dean Devlin returns as an executive producer alongside series creators John Rogers and Chris Downey, both of whom will serve as consulting producers. Kate Rorick was tapped as the showrunner while Marc Roskin and  Rachel Olschan-Wilson will also executive produce the series.

Early last month, Devlin confirmed that production on Leverage: Redemption wrapped after filming began late last year.
