What This Means For Leverage: Redemption
Leverage Gets A Big Prime Video Welcome
The new images forLeverage: Redemptionseason 3 reaffirm the return of a character whose fate had been somewhat left up in the air. Though he’s one of the main stars of the originalLeverage, Hodge technically only returned forRedemptionin a “special guest star” capacity, as his filming schedule for other projects limited his availability.He will be back for season 3, as he’s shown standing alongside Riesgraf’s Parker in the middle of a con, though he confirmed in November 2024 that his role will remain small, as he was also filmingCrossseason 2at the same time.
Hodge’s recent projects include DC’sBlack Adam,City on a Hill, andCrossseason 1, which is also a Prime Video show.
Leverage: Redemptionseason 2 ended with Hardison asking the team to come rescue him from space, since he’d spent most of the season working on a space station and was left without an exit plan. Whether season 3 will opt to pick up on that outlandish premise remains to be seen, but even if it does,it won’t be long until the show resumes its typical case-of-the-week format, as shown by the synopsis.
