SUMMARY
- Leverage: Redemption season 3 is confirmed after a long wait, continuing the crime drama with reformed criminals fighting injustice.
- The show will be moving from Freevee to Prime Video, with the main cast expected to return.
- Original Leverage creator John Rogers will serve as showrunner for season 3.
After months of waiting for its fate, Leverage: Redemption season 3 is finally confirmed, albeit with a big streaming change. The revival, which premiered in July 2021, continues the premise of the initial TNT drama by following reformed criminals as they use their unique skills to help ordinary people fight back against corporate and governmental injustices. The season 2 finale aired nearly a year ago, with few concrete updates on the show’s future.
TVLine has confirmed that Leverage: Redemption season 3 will happen, with the show moving from Amazon’s Freevee to sister streamer Prime Video. Cast members Gina Bellman (Sophie Devereaux), Christian Kane (Eliot Spencer), Beth Riesgraf (Parker), Aldis Hodge (Alec Hardison), Noah Wyle (Harry Wilson), and Aleyse Shannon (Breanna Casey) are expected to return, though Hodge will continue to appear in a recurring capacity. John Rogers, the co-creator of the original Leverage, will serve as showrunner and executive producer for the third installment. He’d previously been a consulting producer on the revival.
Leverage: Redemption’s Move to Prime Video is a Big Deal
The revival’s streaming move is positive because it promises to pick up where the season 2 finale left off. Sophie begins to let go of her guilt. It’s a notable step, as a lot of the episode explores the character’s past coming back to haunt her. Even with that character-focused setup and the hint of hope for Sophie, other storyline avenues were left open.
The revival leaves some key questions unanswered for Leverage: Redemption season 3. Arthur (Damian O’Hare) and Ramsey (Ralph Brown) are under arrest. But beyond the specific plot points, the move is monumental for what it says about Leverage and the crime drama’s prospects. Lauren Anderson, an executive at Amazon, spoke of the show’s devoted audience in a statement.
Anderson notes: “Fans have been devoted to Leverage: Redemption since the series premiered on Freevee.” Prime Video has a much bigger platform than Freevee, and even though the show’s older seasons will remain on Freevee, this streaming shift allows the revival to potentially breakthrough in a bigger way. It feels like a promotion for the show after months of waiting for news on Leverage: Redemption and perhaps a sign of confidence in its ability to perform.
