Amazon Freevee announced today the return of its fan-fueled heist drama Leverage: Redemption, which will premiere on November 16 exclusively in the U.S. and UK.
Leverage: Redemption follows a Robin Hood-esque team of criminals as they stage elaborate cons against wealthy and powerful individuals on behalf of wronged clients.
The second season consists of 13 episodes, with the first three episodes available immediately and a new episode released each Wednesday until the season finale on January 25, 2023.
The fan-favorite first season of Leverage: Redemption is also available on demand and as a FAST channel on Amazon Freevee.
In Season Two, corporate bad guys and dirty dealers step on the little guy in their quest for money and power, and the Leverage team is back to teach them a lesson. No matter the danger, when someone needs help, they provide… Leverage.
This time around, their criminal skills are put to the test by everything from a husband-and-wife team running a multi-level marketing scam and a shipping magnate dumping boatloads of plastic waste to a music producer who abuses his position over vulnerable women.
This season also sees Sophie’s old friend unexpectedly emerge from the woodwork, making her question her choices.
Leverage: Redemption stars Gina Bellman as Sophie Devereaux, Beth Riesgraf as Parker, Christian Kane as Eliot Spencer, Aldis Hodge as Alec Hardison, Noah Wyle as Harry Wilson, and Aleyse Shannon as Breanna Casey.
Season Two guest stars include Pierson Fodé, Alanna Masterson, Anand Desai-Barochia, Steve Coulter, and Doug Savant.
