With their leader behind bars, their nemesis now working for Interpol and a beautiful but mysterious stranger getting ready to call the shots, it may seem as if television’s coolest gang of thieves, grifters and con artists are in over their heads. But the truth is, they’re just getting started. TNT’s hit series LEVERAGE returns for its third exciting season, airing in its new timeslot: Sundays at 9 p.m. (ET/PT), beginning June 20. To start things off with a bang, the first two Sundays will feature back-to-back episodes at 9 and 10 p.m. Academy Award® winner Timothy Hutton (Ordinary People) stars in the fast-paced series, along with Gina Bellman (Coupling), Christian Kane (TNT’s Into the West), Beth Riesgraf (Alvin and the Chipmunks) and Aldis Hodge (Friday Night Lights).

The third season of LEVERAGE opens with Nate in prison after having to make a tough choice on the most recent con. He could either allow his team to be arrested or simply give himself up to his nemesis Sterling, a former insurance investigator now working for Interpol. Nate soon discovers, however, that the prison is corrupt. The only way he can bring the crooked officials down is to get his team to help him stage his jailbreak. But that’s only the beginning of Nate’s challenges. He must also contend with a shadowy intelligence agent known only as “The Italian,” played by actress and model Elisabetta Canalis, who blackmails him into helping bring down a financier. Between “The Italian” trying to control Nate and Nate trying to hold both his crew and his personal life together, it’s looking to be a challenging and twisted summer for the LEVERAGE team.
