Notable Cast

• Aldis Hodge appears in the first two episodes as Alec Hardison. Hodge was unable to participate in the full series because of his film schedule, but made himself available to film the pilot episodes and for some promotional activities. Since Leverage ended, he has gradually become a major film star, appearing in movies such as Hidden Figures, One Night in Miami and Straight Outta Compton. In addition, he starts in the Showtime series City on a Hill with Kevin Bacon.
• Tim Hutton does not return to the series. Despite considerable media speculation about the reason, the producers have declined to state why he did not return.
• Joining the cast are actors Noah Wyle, who previously worked with Christian Kane (Eliot Spencer) and Dean Devlin on The Librarians, and Aleyse Shannon as Hardison's equally skilled foster-sister.

Season Notes

• The team's location shifts from Boston, where Sophie is still living, to New Orleans, where their first mark is based. The series is now filmed in New Orleans.
• Hardison's van, Lucille, has been replaced by a fleet of food trucks owned by Eliot, that can be equipped with Breanna's surveillance equipment.
