Super Channel, Canada’s only national pay television network, is pleased to announce the premiere of the intriguing crime drama series LEVERAGE starring Timothy Hutton airing from the beginning with the pilot on June 14 at 10 p.m. ET.
“We are very pleased to bring Canadians this kind of quality, hit programming,” said Sandy Perkins, Super Channel, Vice President Programming. “LEVERAGE is a bit of a modern-day Robin Hood story, the gang steals from the rich and gives to the poor to help create balance with the crooks in high power positions. The result is a whole lot of entertainment and I’m sure Canadians will be quick to spot the high standard of writing and acting this series offers.”
Besides Hutton LEVERAGE also stars Aldis Hodge, Gina Bellman, Beth Riesgraf, Christian Kane as part of a highly skilled team out to settle scores against those who use power and wealth to victimize others. Also look for Jeri Ryan in a recurring guest role as a self-assured grifter enlisted to help the team with special projects.
The gang is led by former insurance investigator Nate Ford (Hutton), who got involved in the con business after his former employer refused to pay for treatment that could have saved his son’s life. His team includes Sophie Devereaux (Bellman), a grifter who uses her acting skills to corner her marks; Eliot Spencer (Kane), a “retrieval specialist” with bone-crunching fighting skills; Alec Hardison (Hodge), a gadget and technology wizard who keeps the team informed; and Parker (Riesgraf), a slightly off-center thief adept at rappelling off buildings or squeezing into tight places. Together they met out justice when no others can.
