2008 heist series 'Leverage' is getting a reboot with most of its original cast
Before "Money Heist," there was "Leverage" — a 2008 show that follows a five-member team of thieves and hackers who pull off heists and steal from the rich and powerful.
And to fans of this old series, good news: it's getting a reboot!
Amazon-owned streaming service IMDb TV ordered the reboot, and it's set to be its first major original series.
Dean Devlin, the original show's producer who is returning to produce the revival, confirmed the news on Twitter.

However, original lead Timothy Hutton, who recently faced sexual assault allegations, will not be returning.
Instead, American actor Noah Wyle will be starring as the new lead.
"Leverage" follows a mismatched band of former top criminals, each with a different criminal expertise. Led by former insurance claims investigator Nathan Ford, the team goes after wealthy criminals and corrupt businessmen.
