Leverage Season 4 – Behind the Scenes Teaser

Leverage fans will find this incredibly interesting. Entertainment Weekly got a look at some behind the scenes footage of production on Leverage‘s Season 4 premiere. The two minute video has interviews with a number of key people, including producer/director Dean Devlin and Christian Kane, Aldis Hodge, Timothy Hutton and Beth Riesgraf.

The first thing you’ll notice is the extreme amount of snow covering everything. The crew wound up shooting much of the premiere in a blizzard, so when you watch the episode when it airs June 26, just remember that the snow you see flying around is very real. Oddly enough, the cast seem to be enjoying themselves despite the abysmal weather. Aldis Hodge even mentions he wanted to be out in the snow, but his character didn’t film any scenes outside.

It’s that kind of enthusiasm from the cast that gets me excited to watch a new season regardless of the show. You want to see the actors and actresses enjoying what they do, because it shows through in their acting. If they’re having a good time, their performances will be stronger, and a strong performance can only help a show.

Not sure what the Leverage team is doing in a blizzard, although it’s probably safe to assume it’s some kind of job. You don’t exactly want to spend your vacation in the frozen tundra. But what kind of job would require them head out into such cold conditions? Leverage returns June 26, and don’t forget to keep an eye out for Leon Rippy!
