If you’re someone who prefers to avoid streaming, you’re in luck: You can now watch the first season of Leverage: Redemption without the use of any streaming stick, smart TV, or the like.

The Amazon Freevee series is making its broadcast premiere on ION, taking over Monday nights at 9/8c. It all begins Monday, July 11 with the first two episodes. And now is the perfect time to watch (or re-watch) the drama — a sequel to Leverage, which aired five seasons on TNT from 2008 to 2012 — which has been renewed by the streaming service.

The first season of Leverage: Redemption brought back Gina Bellman, Christian Kane, and Beth Riesgraf as series regulars and Aldis Hodge as a special guest star. They were joined by Noah Wyle and Aleyse Shannon.

The series follows reformed criminals who put their unique skills to use by helping regular citizens fight back against corporate and governmental injustices. The sequel series picks up eight years after we last saw the team on Leverage. Sophie Devereaux (Bellman), Parker (Riesgraf), Eliot Spencer (Kane), and Alec Hardison (Hodge) have since watched the world change — but not necessarily for the better. It became easier and sometimes legal for the rich to become richer and the powerful to squash anyone who gets in their way. Joining the team are Harry Wilson (Wyle), a corporate lawyer looking for redemption, and Breanna Casey (Shannon), Hardison’s foster sister with a knack for computers, robotics, and getting into trouble.

Kate Rorick served as co-showrunner and executive producer, alongside co-showrunner and executive producer Dean Devlin, and executive producers Marc Roskin and Rachel Olschan-Wilson of Electric Entertainment. John Rogers and Chris Downey served as consulting producers.

Leverage: Redemption joins hit off-network dramas including Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D., Law & Order: SVU, Blue Bloods, NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans, Hawaii Five-0, Criminal Minds, and CSI: Miami on ION.

    Great Show, watch little TV, but this is great! Was watching on ION until Sep 12th when it wasn't on and Criminal Minds was on instead. Hope that was a one time deal, but last Monday they played episodes all day and couldn't watch the earlier eps.

      Aldis Hodge has been quite busy making feature films, but did take part in some eps in the most recent season. Not sure how much we'll see him in the upcoming season... I think his dance card (er, acting card) has been very full the past few years.

    I can't wait but what happen to the original Net Timothy Hutton?

      His character was killed off by a heart attack off screen due to being accused of sexual harassment which turned out to be bogus.

      Timothy was a victim of cancel culture sadly.

      He was caught up in a rape accusation so the network/producers dropped him
