TNT Picks Up Full Season Of Leverage

TNT has picked up Dean Devlin’s action drama pilot Leverage to series. The cable network has ordered 13 episodes of the project starring Timothy Hutton and executive produced by Devlin and John Rogers. Leverage, from Devlin’s Electric Entertainment, follows a team of thieves, hackers and grifters who take revenge against those who abuse power. Devlin directed the pilot for Leverage, which was written by Rogers and Chris Downey. Leverage marks the second series pickup for TNT this year, following the 10-episode order for Steven Bochco’s Raising the Bar last month.
