Michael Wright, executive vice president, head of programming for TNT has announced that the network has given a second season pick-up to the acclaimed series Leverage. Currently airing it’s first season Thursdays at 10:00 PM, the hit series will return for fifteen episodes later in 2009.
“We’re thrilled that audiences and critics have responded so positively to Leverage and made the show a solid hit,” Wright said. “We look forward to another great season of fun and exciting storylines brought to life by the outstanding cast, led by Timothy Hutton, and the incredible production team, headed up by executive producers Dean Devlin and John Rogers.”
Dean Devlin added, “We had an amazing experience shooting the first season of LEVERAGE with such a talented cast and crew and with the full support of TNT behind us. We can’t wait to get to work on season two and take viewers on another adventure with Nate and his team.”
Pop Culture Zoo previewed this great series last year with interviews with Devlin and castmember Gina Bellman, as well as a review of the first episodes. We are absolutely delighted that the series will be back following the conclusion of this first season. Keep checking Pop Culture Zoo for a wrap-up of the first season and a look forward to season two in early March.
