TNT's critically acclaimed hit series "Leverage" will be back for a second season, according to an announcement today by Michael Wright, executive vice president and head of programming for TNT. The network has officially ordered 15 new episodes of the popular, high-octane series, which stars Oscar winner Timothy Hutton ("Ordinary People"), Gina Bellman ("Coupling"), Christian Kane ("Into the West"), Beth Riesgraf ("Without a Trace") and Aldis Hodge ("Friday Night Lights"). "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 oustanding cast, led by Timothy Hutton, and the incredible production team, headed up by executive producers Dean Devlin and John Rogers."
The renewal of "Leverage" is the latest move by TNT in its aggressive strategy to ramp up original series production. The network recently announced that it's greenlighting two new series: "Time Heals" which is a character-driven medical drama starring Jada Pinkett Smith and also the fast-paced, undercover police drama "The Line", starring Dylan McDermott.
"Leverage" airs Tuesdays at 10pm eastern and the second season is slated to air later this year.
Also, don't miss out on tonight's newest episodes of "The Closer" and "Trust Me". You won't want to miss them, I promise.

I'm so glad Leverage got another season! It really is such a fun show.
I am so excited for Leverage having another season!!! It was an addiction for me and I adore each and every character.
Maybe Nate will finally get that Sophie is in love with him and he should forget his ex-wife, FOREVER. Hardison and Parker would be pretty awesome as well. <3
I think the next batch of shows start in June. Yay!
Leverage !! the best
