IMDb TV — the Amazon-owned free streaming service that’s part of the popular online movie database — is getting its first major original TV series: a reboot of the 2008 TNT crime show Leverage, <\/em>via Deadline<\/em>.<\/em> The show follows a Robin Hood-esque group of thieves who steal from the rich to help those in need.<\/p>\n

According to Dean Devlin, who produced the original series and will return as an executive producer for revival, “Our new series with Amazon Studios and IMDb TV is a re-imagining of the original premise. While Leverage<\/em> centered on a crusade to avenge the death of a child, this series is propelled forward as a redemption story of misdeeds that need amends.” It’s not clear if the new series will serve as a sequel to the original, which was canceled by TNT in 2012 (albeit, with a finale that left the door open to future spinoffs).<\/p>\n
