Has justice finally been served? The protracted legal saga involving Timothy Hutton and the producers of "Leverage" has reached its conclusion, with a settlement bringing an end to the actor's claims of wrongful omission from the show's reboot.
The resolution, finalized in late 2024, marks the closing of a contentious chapter that began when Hutton filed suit against Electric Entertainment, the production company behind the "Leverage" revival. The lawsuit, lodged in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleged breach of contract, asserting that Hutton had a pre-existing agreement to star in, executive produce, and even direct episodes of the reboot, a deal purportedly struck in February 2020. The actor's absence from the revived series, which premiered in 2021, ignited speculation and legal action, culminating in this recent settlement.
