NBCUniversal International Networks and DTC picked up linear and SVOD rights for Universal TV in Africa, and Now TV in Hong Kong acquired the SVOD rights for its streaming service Now Studio.<\/p>\n<p>The series first premiered in the U.S. on IMDb TV. All 16 episodes of the first season are included in the U.K., Africa and Hong Kong deals.<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Gonzalez, chief financial officer at Electric Entertainment, said: \u201cU.K. audiences heavily embraced <em>Leverage<\/em> when it first aired, and we are excited that they will be able to enjoy <em>Leverage: Redemption<\/em>. What makes it even more gratifying for us is that it [is] available on IMDb TV, our production partner for the reimagining of the series.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sonia Mehandjiyska, head of international distribution at Electric Entertainment, added: \u201cOver the years, our <em>Leverage<\/em> series became more and more popular with international audiences, as it did domestically. When <em>Leverage: Redemption<\/em> premiered in the U.S. this summer, we saw demand grow stronger as each episode became available.
