‘Leverage: Redemption’ Renewed for Season 3, Moves to Prime Video From Freevee
“Leverage: Redemption” has been renewed for Season 3, but will be changing platforms. The first two seasons aired on Amazon‘s Freevee, but Season 3 will debut on sister streamer Prime Video in 2024 instead.
The move is significant, as “Leverage: Redemption,” a revival of the TNT series “Leverage,” was one of the major scripted titles available on Freevee. The show was ordered to series in 2020, when Freevee was still branded as IMDb TV. Freevee’s biggest scripted series at present is “Bosch: Legacy,” while a spinoff of that show was recently ordered at Prime Video as well.
The first two seasons of “Leverage: Redemption” are currently available to stream on Freevee, as is “Leverage” via Electric Entertainment’s FAST Channel and on-demand.
“Fans have been devoted to ‘Leverage: Redemption’ since the series premiered on Freevee,” says Lauren Anderson, head of AVOD; unscripted and targeted programming for Amazon MGM Studios. “Every season has showcased the fun dynamic between our cast combined with the triumphant, David vs. Goliath stories envisioned by our writers. As we embark on our next chapter, we are thrilled to be able to share the show with our Prime customers and continue to offer the exclusive ‘Leverage’ FAST channel to our Freevee customers.”
The series stars Gina Bellman, Christian Kane, Beth Riesgraf, Aldis Hodge, Noah Wyle, and Aleyse Shannon. The group stars as a team of criminals who “stage elaborate cons against corrupt and powerful individuals on behalf of clients who have been wronged,” per the official logline.
“We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our Leverage franchise in collaboration with the Amazon MGM Studios team,” said Dean Devlin, executive producer and CEO of Electric Entertainment. “Our dedicated fan base will be delighted to know that they can continue to follow their favorite reformed criminals as they use their expert skills for the greater good, championing the underdog in their acts of goodwill.”
Devlin, Marc Roskin, and Rachel Olschan-Wilson of Electric Entertainment are executive producers. John Rogers serves as showrunner and executive producer. Chris Downey also serves as executive producer. Kate Rorick is a consulting producer.
