Leverage Redemption Season 3 Cast
1- Christian Kane as Eliot Spencer
Christian Kane returns as Eliot Spencer, the team’s legendary hitter, chef, and reluctant heartthrob, now facing his most personal mission yet. This season, Kane brings new depth to Eliot as he confronts his violent past while mentoring a young protegé (guest star TBA) who mirrors his younger self. The actor’s real-life martial arts expertise continues to impress, with even more elaborate fight sequences that showcase Eliot’s signature brawling style – including a breathtaking single-take bar fight in Episode 4. Kane also gets to flex his musical talents, contributing an original song for a pivotal emotional scene where Eliot finally opens up about his military history.
Beyond the action, Kane shines in quieter moments, particularly in his evolving father-figure dynamic with Breanna and his increasingly open affection for the team. The season explores Eliot’s culinary passion with several scenes shot at Kane’s actual Nashville restaurant, where the crew plans a con over his famous spicy rigatoni. His chemistry with Drew Powell’s Jack Hurley adds both tension and humor, especially when their differing approaches to “muscle work” collide during a high-stakes extraction mission.
2- Aleyse Shannon as Breanna Casey
Aleyse Shannon’s Breanna Casey cements her place as the team’s irreplaceable tech genius in Season 3, with even more audacious hacks and social engineering schemes. Shannon brings infectious energy to Breanna’s growth from rookie to confident operator, particularly when she temporarily leads a mission in Episode 6. The actress trained with real white-hat hackers to master new techniques, including a jaw-dropping sequence where Breanna hijacks a satellite using only a modified game controller.
This season delves deeper into Breanna’s personal life, including her complicated relationship with her incarcerated father (guest star Sterling K. Brown) and an unexpected romance that challenges her “lone wolf” persona. Shannon’s comedic timing shines in scenes where Breanna schools the “old-school” crew on Gen Z culture, while her dramatic chops anchor a powerful subplot about algorithmic bias that hits close to home. Don’t miss her and Parker’s hilarious “Freaky Friday” undercover swap in Episode 3, which showcases Shannon’s impressive range.
3- Noah Wyle as Harry Wilson
Noah Wyle’s Harry Wilson faces his greatest ethical crisis yet as the team’s “white hat” turned reluctant criminal mastermind. Wyle masterfully portrays Harry’s internal struggle when a case forces him to choose between the law and justice, culminating in a courtroom showdown where he must out-con his own former colleagues. The actor’s background in ER serves him well during a medical emergency subplot that reveals surprising depths to Harry’s backstory.
This season explores Harry’s growing paternal bond with the team, particularly in moving scenes where he helps Parker process grief and coaches Breanna through her first solo con. Wyle’s comedic talents get new showcase in Episode 5’s “Weekend at Bernie’s”-inspired caper, where Harry must pretend to be his own corpse during a high-society funeral heist. His chemistry with Gina Bellman reaches new heights as their will-they-won’t-they tension finally comes to a head.
4- Gina Bellman as Sophie Devereaux
Gina Bellman returns with all of Sophie’s signature elegance and cunning, but in a surprising new role that upends team dynamics. Without spoiling the twist, Bellman gets to explore fresh facets of the master grifter – including a stunning two-episode arc where Sophie must con the team themselves. The actress’ classical theater training shines in scenes where Sophie adopts multiple accents and personas, including a show-stopping turn as a Russian oligarch’s wife in Episode 2.
Bellman and Beth Riesgraf craft beautiful new dimensions to the Sophie-Parker mentorship, particularly when the student must now teach the teacher. A musical theater sequence (showcasing Bellman’s real singing voice) in Episode 7 becomes both an ingenious con and a poignant metaphor for Sophie’s journey. Her chemistry with Wyle simmers throughout the season, culminating in a New Year’s Eve scene that’s already generating buzz among fans.
5- Beth Riesgraf as Parker
Beth Riesgraf’s Parker continues her remarkable evolution from socially awkward thief to confident leader while retaining all the eccentric charm fans love. This season, Riesgraf reveals new layers as Parker grapples with loss, mentors a young foster kid (played by Stranger Things’ Priah Ferguson), and surprisingly, considers going legit. The actress’ physical comedy reaches new heights during an episode where Parker must pretend to be “normal” at a suburban PTA meeting.
Riesgraf performs even more daring stunts herself, including a breathtaking zipline heist across the Chicago River. But the season’s emotional core comes from Parker’s relationships – her sisterly bond with Breanna, her growing confidence with Harry’s guidance, and especially her tender, unspoken understanding with Eliot. A silent flashback sequence in Episode 8, showing Parker’s first meeting with each team member, stands as Riesgraf’s most powerful work to date.
6- Drew Powell as Jack Hurley
New series regular Drew Powell (previously recurring) brings gruff charm as Jack Hurley, the team’s new logistics expert with mysterious ties to Eliot’s past. Powell’s chemistry with Kane fuels several standout scenes, including a bare-knuckle boxing match that transitions into a drunken singalong. The actor’s background in Gotham serves him well during action sequences, while his comedic timing shines in undercover scenes where Hurley poses as everything from a rodeo clown to a sommelier.
This season explores Hurley’s complicated history with law enforcement and the guilt that drives his redemption arc. Powell delivers his finest work in Episode 9’s bottle episode, where Hurley and Harry are trapped in an elevator together, forcing painful truths to surface. His unexpected friendship with Parker – bonding over their shared love of chaos – provides some of the season’s most heartwarming moments.
