Leverage: Redemption (Freevee) -- Premieres 7/9/21
https://deadline.com/2020/04/leverag...os-1202912578/
EXCLUSIVE: Dean Devlin, John Rogers and Chris Downey’s cult 2008 crime drama series Leverage is coming back with a new lead. IMDb TV, Amazon’s free, ad-supported streaming service, has ordered a Leverage reimagening, headlined by Noah Wyle in a reunion with Rogers and Devlin after their collaboration on The Librarian/The Librarians franchise. It marks the first major original series for IMDb TV, whose content team recently moved under the Amazon Studios umbrella.
The reimagining will include new characters, including one played by five-time Emmy nominee Wyle, who also will direct two of the 13 episodes. He will be joined by original cast members Beth Riesgraf, reprising her character as “Parker”; Gina Bellman as “Sophie Devereaux”; and Christian Kane as “Eliot Spencer”– who will all be series regulars — as well as Aldis Hodge, who will return as “Alec Hardison” in a recurring role, subject to availability from his Showtime series City on a Hill, whose Season 2 will likely be filming at the same time as Leverage.

Timothy Hutton will be missed, he was the glue that held the team together in the first series.

My wife and I loved this show too.
I wouldn't mind if Lindy Booth came over from The Librarians too. Kane was on there with Wyle too.

This is quite funny because the last 2 seasons of Leverage have been on my "still to watch' list for years and years
Christian Kane and Gina Bellman are my main reasons for watching
i didn't think the concept was anything particularly special that it needed a reboot
I would prefer a reboot of the UK show Hustle

I guess they took down the clip, but my favorite one was "The Rashomon Job" from season 3 where everyone mis-interpets Sophie's accent.
Then I think she gives Eliot a Southern accent.

I'm going to guess this version will not be filming in Portland...

No silly. When they are actually acting on set, they will have been tested with the other actors and it will be a closed set.
And we can't see it in Beth's picture, but it's possible one or two of the writers could be in there as well.
