Trivia / Leverage: Redemption

• Awesome, Dear Boy: Noah Wyle was excited to get to work on another John Rogers production after The Librarian series (where he and Christian Kane got to work together).
• Casting Gag: Levar Burton plays a kindly librarian who tries to get children interested in reading.
• Content Warnings: A "sensitive content" warning was added to the episode summary for "The Tower Job", as the episode involves a collapsed apartment building, and aired two weeks after the Surfside, Florida condo collapse.
• Creator's Favorite: Aldis Hodge loves the series and cast so much that he makes time in his busy schedule to make guest appearances whenever he can.
• Directed by Cast Member:
  • "The Tower Job", "The Unwellness Job", "The Golf Job" and "The Walk in the Woods Job" were directed by Noah Wyle (Harry Wilson).
  • "The Bucket Job", "The Great Train Job", "The Tournament Job" and "The Turkish Prisoner Job" were directed by Beth Riesgraf (Parker).
• Early-Bird Release: Episodes consistently drop a day ahead of their announced debut dates. So far this has held true for both halves of season one and all of season two.
• Real Life Writes the Plot: Despite Aldis Hodge's desire to reprise Hardison again, his post-Leverage career skyrocketed so much that his prior commitments prevented him from doing so throughout the season. As such, he only appears in a handful of episodes. The In-Universe explanation is that Hardison is busy traveling around the world to help the international Leverage teams. The second season ups the ante by having him serving aboard a space station.
• Role-Ending Misdemeanor: Timothy Hutton wasn't invited back with the rest of the cast due to sexual assault accusations. This resulted in Nate dying during the Time Skip between series.
• Real-Life Relative: Harry's daughter in "The Muddy Waters Job" is played by Noah Wyle's real-life daughter, Auden.
• Written by Cast Member: Noah Wyle wrote as well as directed "The Walk in the Woods Job".
