The third season ofLeverage: Redemption, the spin-off of the 2008 drama series,Leverage, is heading towards its season finale. ThePrime Videoseries is currently halfway through the season with a number of jobs left to be pulled off. The series seesDean Devlinin the role of showrunner, and while Season 3 might be ending soon, the showrunner reveals that there has not been much in regard to a potential fourth season. Devlin also serves as showrunner onThe Librarians: The Next Chapter, and in an interview with ScreenRant regarding that show, Devlin discussed the major delay experienced byLeverage: Redemptionrenewal chances.
As fans and audiences remain in the dark concerning a Season 4 renewal, so are the cast and crew of the show as well. Season 3 is the first timeLeverage: Redemptionis being hosted on Prime Video, as the previous seasons were hosted onFreevee. Devlin explains that the show’s new streaming home requires “a lot of data” gathering before a decision can be made on a renewal. “We haven’t heard yet. Amazon likes to get a lot of data, they usually wait until after the last show is aired, and then they want about six more months of data afterwards,” Devlin explains to the outlet. The showrunner explains that while it’s great not to rush, it ultimately results in massive delays between seasons, adding, “I think on one hand, it’s greatthat they don’t have to rush, buton the other hand, it’s tough, because sometimes, you go two years in between seasons. So, we’re hoping we’d get word one way or another sooner than later, butI anticipate it’ll be a while.”

Leverage: Redemptionalso starsBeth Riesgraf, as Parker, a skilled thief, and the actress discussed the chances of the show’s potential renewal. Riesgraf understands that the metrics for renewals have become far more complex andoffers a potential pathwayto making a fourth season ofLeverage: Redemptionfar more feasible. She said:
“No, not yet. But let’s get it going, people. Let’s talk about this. Huh? We’ve got to get the Nana episode. I mean, spread the word.If you guys like the show, I just say spread the word.The more subscriptions that Amazon gets, the better the chances are, I think, because they’ll see that people show up for this show, and these characters, and that they really care.”
