Would you be interested in a Leverage International spinoff?

New cast but probably some guest appearances by the OG & Redemption characters.

Hurley has to be involved

Yeah, I’d want him to have a regular role. Feel like that’s the only way it would really work.

Just rewatched the episode with Hurley cooling off the mark. I would totally watch a Leverage Stealing Hearts show with him as the lead. The world needs more love.

That's a great idea!

what about Parker's evil attitude to steal from the bad guys?

It wouldn’t be the same, but I’d still probably give it a shot and might end up enjoying it.

I would hope the original cast all would appear from time to time as guests (whether it’s all of them in the same episode, or just one of them at a time in separate episodes)

They made one season in Korea, it's really good and due to the line from parker in Redemption it's canonical so I would 100% watch. I'd love to see a change up of roles as well because grifter, hitter, hacker, thief is only a tiny part of different positions that criminals have. There could be different roles in different countries depending on what fits the area best.

I've always wanted a Leverage Europe starring Matt Bomer as the mastermind. Using one of his aliases from White Collar

He would be an amazing Mastermind.

Would love to follow one of the mentioned "Leverage International" teams

If the OG writers would be involved, yes! I liked Redemption fine but it wasn't exactly the same quality as the OG!

i only know that the korean remake is same universe as the og, so thats already one done

u/Cocijo 24d ago

I'd give it a shot, but if the OG (mostly) couldn't make a long showing not sure a spinoff would last either. Maybe if they made the new group bigger and they weren't copycats of the original it could work.

u/Chefpatrick871 Two Good Ol Boys 24d ago

I think that’s what they did well with Redemption. Harry and Briana weren’t copycats of the actors they replaced. I think it can be done again.

Anything Leverage I would be interested in. I'm watching "Almost Paradise" with Christian Kane, and in the last show he said "let's go steal a casino." That was so great!!

u/FFBIFRA 24d ago

it seemed like Redemption hinted at that a couple of times, but obviously nothing came out of it.

u/lilulev 24d ago

Yes, but I’d want the original cast back in a capacity more than just guests.

u/Jaded-Difficulty5397 24d ago

if the same writers and scripters- duh!!! bring it on!!!

u/Spock-1701 24d ago

I think it is time to let go. It was a great ride but I think it is over. The only thing I could see would be a "Big Finish" style series of print or audio books.

u/NevadaMac 24d ago

Not if it's the same anti-all-technology and anti-all-rich-people writers that destroyed what could have made Redemption good.
