Johannesburg, 23 December 2025: Universal TV (DStv 117) today announced that Leverage: Redemption Season 3 will premiere on 6 January at 20:00 with new episodes every Tuesday until the season finale on 10 March 2026.
Produced by Electric Entertainment, the third season of Leverage: Redemption finds the team pitting themselves against a power broker stealing clean water under people’s feet, fighting a mayor who’s the judge and jury of his small town, outrunning a mark who’s finally caught up with them mid-con, outhustling a pool hustler with a side business in international extortion, and bringing down an industrialist exploiting child labour.
All the while, the crew dodges an intricate plan of vengeance from a former foe, whilst working through the fallout of their new personal relationships. But no matter what, when someone needs help, the crew always provides… Leverage.
Meet the Leverage Crew:
- Empathetic and intelligent, Sophie Deveraux (Gina Bellman) can transform herself into anyone you need her to be – and steal priceless Monets right out from under your nose. She gave up grifting for grifting’s sake when she joined the Leverage team and discovered her purpose in helping those the system left behind. But she has since retired – until the team asks for her help on a new mission.
- Brooding, gruff, and lethal, you don’t want to be around when Eliot (Christian Kane) gets into a fight – or at least, you want him on your team. But underneath that tough exterior, Eliot’s got a surprisingly intuitive side, able to cut through the noise like a katana blade and discern what’s going on beneath the surface.
- If you ask who the world’s greatest thief is, the world will whisper back one name: Parker (Beth Riesgraf). An expert at picking locks and hanging off buildings by her fingers, it’s her outside-the-box thinking that has led the Leverage team for the last several years, with her partners-in-crime Hardison and Eliot by her side.
- Sarcastic and intelligent, Breanna Casey (Aleyse Shannon) joins the team as a new kind of hacker. Her special skills include being a genius mechanical engineer and making social hacking and social media manipulation look like child’s play. After landing in the foster system, Breanna got lucky finding a home with Nana, and bonus big-brother Hardison, who bonded with the spiky, scared 10-year-old by teaching her computers and hacking.
- Harry Wilson (Noah Wyle) spent his entire career as a corporate attorney, and he’s only recently realized that he was aiding and abetting the bad guys in getting away with their crimes. Now, Harry is determined to use his inside knowledge to help the Leverage team and earn his redemption.
- Alec Hardison (Aldis Hodge) loves three things: Parker, orange soda, and cracking bad guys’ algorithms. A genius hacker, Hardison has helped build the Leverage team into the international crime-fighting ring it is today.
Leverage: Redemption Season 3 premieres on Universal TV on 6 January 2026 at 20:00, with new episodes airing every Tuesday until March 10.
Universal TV is available on DStv Channel 117 across Africa.
