With the Leverage revival underway and filming for IMDb TV, the show is starting to round out the cast with brand new characters. Joining Gina Bellman (Sophie Devereaux), Christian Kane (Eliot Spencer), Beth Riesgraf (Parker), and Aldis Hodge (Alec Hardison) will be Aleyse Shannon. It was previously announced that Noah Wyle has also joined the cast.

Shannon, previously seen as Jada Shields on Charmed, will play Hardison’s sister Breanna Casey, who has some hacking skills of her own. We got a little hint of Hardison’s younger years in the original run of the series, where he grew up in the foster system and lived with Nana. Now, we will get more of that past in the form of Breanna!

Leverage, a show where sometimes the bad guys make the best good guys, will continue to take down the worst of the worst with their unique skills in grifting, hacking, hitting, and all-around thievery. You can watch the original five seasons on IMDb TV for free.
