### Premise and team

The series picks up about eight years after the original *Leverage* ended. The surviving crew members, grifter Sophie Devereaux ([Gina Bellman](https://www.edgepedia.org/gina-bellman)), hitter Eliot Spencer ([Christian Kane](https://www.edgepedia.org/christian-kane)), thief Parker (Beth Riesgraf), and hacker Alec Hardison ([Aldis Hodge](https://www.edgepedia.org/aldis-hodge)), have watched the world change in ways that make it easier, and sometimes legal, for the rich to become richer and the powerful to crush anyone in their way.<sup>[9](https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/leverage-redemption/)</sup> To address the new landscape, the team adds two members: Harry Wilson (Noah Wyle), a corporate lawyer seeking redemption after realizing he had spent his career on the wrong side of the table, and Breanna Casey (Aleyse Shannon), Hardison's foster sister, who has a knack for computers, robotics, and getting into trouble.<sup>[9](https://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/leverage-redemption/)</sup>

The show retains the case-of-the-week caper format of its predecessor, with each episode built around a new con, heist, or both.<sup>[10](https://www.electricentertainment.com/news-content/2021/6/30/leverage-redemption-review-cast-changes-dont-hold-back-one-of-tvs-most-welcome-revivals)</sup> Season 2 targets included a husband-and-wife multi-level marketing scam, a shipping magnate dumping plastic waste, and a predatory music producer.<sup>[11](https://www.moviefone.com/tv-shows/leverage-redemption/OKsk6M9QpdsouH1VaESgw6/seasons/)</sup> Season 3 cases involved a power broker stealing clean water, a mayor who is judge and jury of his small town, a pool hustler running international extortion, and an industrialist exploiting child labor.<sup>[7](https://www.electricentertainment.com/leverage-redemption)</sup>

## Cast changes from the original series

**Timothy Hutton did not return.** The only original star missing, his character [Nathan Ford](https://www.edgepedia.org/nathan-ford) was said to have died a year before the *Redemption* premiere. Hutton did not return once a rape accusation dating back decades came to light; when police chose not to press charges for want of evidence, he filed a breach-of-contract suit over the producers' decision to cut him, and the two sides ultimately settled.<sup>[2](https://www.tvline.com/2050854/leverage-redemption-canceled-amazon-season-4/)</sup>

Aldis Hodge's commitments to other projects meant Hardison appeared only part-time in the first season, and in Season 3 he was credited as a special guest star.<sup>[10](https://www.electricentertainment.com/news-content/2021/6/30/leverage-redemption-review-cast-changes-dont-hold-back-one-of-tvs-most-welcome-revivals)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[7](https://www.electricentertainment.com/leverage-redemption)</sup> A contemporary review noted that the new cast makeup made the action more female-driven than the original series, with Bellman stepping into the lead slot and Wyle fitting naturally into the ensemble.<sup>[10](https://www.electricentertainment.com/news-content/2021/6/30/leverage-redemption-review-cast-changes-dont-hold-back-one-of-tvs-most-welcome-revivals)</sup>
