Leverageoriginally ran for five seasons on TNT from 2008 to 2012, garnering a cult following and a significant fanbase who were upset by the series' abrupt cancellation by the network, who cited falling ratings. IMDb TV rescued the series from the abyss in 2020, and the first eight episodes ofRedemptionwere released back in July, with an additional eight premiering as a follow-up in October.
While fans eagerly await the series’ second season, for which no release date has been announced, all 16 episodes ofLeverage: Redemptionare available to stream exclusively on IMDb TV, as well as all five seasons of the originalLeverage.
