All five seasons of "Leverage" launch on the Hulu Plus subscription service beginning Tuesday, Oct. 15.

"Leverage" (The 2013 People's Choice Award Winner for Favorite Cable TV Drama) is a modern-day Robin Hood series that is suspenseful, thrilling and heartwarming. In "Leverage" a band of five misfits, each with a unique set of skills, are brought together due to circumstance and end up forming one of the world's most notorious criminal teams. However, they work for victims of corrupt organizations and fight to give back what has been taken from them. The Leverage crew is led by former insurance investigator turned thief, Nate Ford (Academy Award Winner Timothy Hutton). His cohorts include Sophie Devereaux (Gina Bellman), a brilliant grifter; Eliot Spencer (Christian Kane), a retrieval specialist; Alec Hardison (Aldis Hodge), a gadget and technology wizard; and Parker (Beth Riesgraf), a slightly off-center thief adept at rappelling off buildings. "Leverage" was produced by Electric Entertainment and Executive Produced by Dean Devlin, John Rogers, Chris Downey and Marc Roskin.

Season one of "Leverage" will be available through the free, ad-supported Hulu.com, while all five seasons will be available on the Hulu Plus subscription service.

"Leverage" marks the first Turner Network Television show that will be available as part of the ever expanding Hulu Plus content library.

Electric Entertainment is a full service film and television production and distribution company and studio headed by veteran producer Dean Devlin along with Marc Roskin and Rachel Olschan. Electric recently wrapped its fifth and final season of TNT's action-packed drama "Leverage," which starred Academy Award Winner Timothy Hutton and was Executive Produced by Dean Devlin, John Rogers and Chris Downey. Electric's other television credits include TNT's "The Librarian" starring Noah Wyle which was the highest rated movie on cable that year (2004), its sequel, "The Librarian: Return to King Solomon's Mines" and the third installment of the franchise, "The Librarian: Curse of the Judas Chalice." Along with Bryan Singer's Bad Hat Harry production company, Electric produced SyFy Channel's "The Triangle," which won an Emmy for its Visual Effects, and was the highest-rated miniseries on the cable channel since "Steven Spielberg Presents TAKEN" (2002). Electric's most recent film projects include MGM's Flyboys and Sony Picture Classics' politically-charged documentary Who Killed the Electric Car?, which was nominated by the Broadcast Film Critics Association for Best Documentary Feature. Electric launched Electric Visual Effects (EFX), which uses the new division as its in-house effects arm allowing the filmmakers they work with to stretch their dollars way beyond traditional effects budget boundaries. The EFX crew has been assembled from industry veterans Devlin had previously collaborated with on his global box-office hits including Independence Day, Godzilla, The Patriot, and Eight Legged Freaks. EFX is headed by veteran visual effects producer Mark Franco, whose career spans over twenty-five years and includes productions such as Titanic, Batman & Robin, Armageddon, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, among others. Electric also recently launched its International sales and distribution arm headed by Sonia Mehandjiyska.
