The Tulsa screening of the season premiere of "Leverage" has been scheduled for Wednesday.

The TNT series, starring Oscar winner Timothy Hutton and Oklahoma's Christian Kane, will launch its second season at 8 p.m. July 15 on cable 29. Tulsa was one of five cities chosen by online votes to host a screening. The other four were Chicago, Los Angeles, Tampa/St. Petersburg, Fla., and Portland, Ore.

A limited number of invitations will be available for the event. Fans can find out how to be among those attending in a "Leverage" ad that appears in this week's Tulsa World Spot magazine.

The screening will also include a live virtual question-and-answer session with executive producers John Rogers and Chris Downey via the Skype online communication service, complimentary appetizers and a cash bar.

The drama follows Nate Ford (Hutton), a former insurance investigator determined to bring down corrupt business tycoons, the type whose neglect caused his son's death. He is aided by a skilled team including a talented grifter (Gina Bellman), a gadget and technology wizard (Aldis Hodge), an incredibly athletic thief (Beth Reisgraf) and Norman-reared Christian Kane as a bone-crunching "retrieval specialist."
