Bravo goes for Leverage

A hit US series starring Timothy Hutton will be coming to the UK, as part of a carriage deal with Virgin Media for its channel Bravo.

There are two series already made and a third is currently in production.

The programme has been seeing a level of success in the US with a series average of 3.9 million viewers on the TNT channel.

Leverage is a sort of hi-tech version of the BBC’s Hustle, with a group of Hackers and con artists hitting crooked corporations where it hurts, in their bank accounts.

According to a Bravo spokesperson, this year is going to be a year of change at the channel and the acquisition of new and exciting programming will reflect the change in direction to a more entertainment-based channel.
