TNT’s “Leverage” is returning – with a new lead.
Former “E.R” star Noah Wyle will headline a revival for IMDB-TV, joining original cast members Beth Riesgraf, Gina Bellman, Christian Kane and Aldis Hodge. Timothy Hutton headlined the previous incarnation.
Show spearheader Dean Devlin told Deadline he’s elated that “Leverage” is returning :
“Since the day it was cancelled, I’ve longed to return to the world of Leverage. The show, the characters, the cast and the people who made it happen all hold a very special place in my heart. Our new series with Amazon Studios and IMDb TV is a re-imagining of the original premise. While Leverage centered on a crusade to avenge the death of a child, this series is propelled forward as a redemption story of misdeeds that need amends. I could not be more excited and fired up about returning to the world of Hitter, Hacker, Grifter, Thief!!”
