Based on another successful run, Leverage has been renewed by TNT for a third season.

The summer's finale will air Wednesday, September 9. The show will then return to complete its second season later this year, with the third season scheduled to air in summer 2010.

“Thanks in large part to its engaging cast and clever storytelling, Leverage has proven itself to be one of the most exciting and fun hours on television,” said Michael Wright, executive vice president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies. “The producers, cast and crew have been incredible to work with, and we anticipate another wonderful season.”
