Portland / TV Portland Hosts “Leverage” for Another Season

Posted by Ali "the Intern" Reingold on Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 4:41 PM

The hit TNT series “Leverage” has chosen to film in Portland once again for its third season. The show, produced by Electric Entertainment, created over 200 jobs for Portlanders during the filming of Season 2 and will likely do so again when production begins in early 2010.

Dean Devlin, the show’s Executive Producer, says he appreciates filming here because “the city has everything to offer that a big city can offer, but Portland still has the heart and soul of a small town.” Portland’s arts and culture policy director, Jen Yocom, agrees: “they’ve had a good experience in the city and we’re hoping to set the stage for many more productions to come to town.” Good work, Portland.

Yes, but they still haven't asked me to play a dead body yet. This show would be so much better if I played a dead body at least once.

I think we should make a condition of accepting them for a third season.

looks like Timothy Hutton kind of overdid it with the chemical peel.

Watched some of this for the first time last night. Not so good. Best part though--even though it's shot here it's set in Boston! Makes sense though---what the fuck would it be about here--battling transplant hipster ennui? Duking it out with greedy condo developers? Furor at not getting enough crema on their espresso?
