What is Leverage: Redemption about?

The eight-episode series is a revival of the original Leverage series. Not all characters will return, but the premise is very similar.

The group is back offering help to those who require some sort of justice. No, this isn’t like CBS’s The Equalizer. This form of justice is against large corporations and the government. The aim is to help the everyday citizens, and often on a financial level.

Like the original series, Redemption is a procedural setup. Sure, there are some elements of the characters’ storylines that will roll over, but the main storylines involving the justice follow an episode-by-episode format.

There are 16 episodes in the first season, but those episodes will be released in two parts. The first eight episodes arrive on Friday, July 9. The second half of the season will arrive in the fall.
