Welcome to the pickup party, Leverage!

TNT's caper "drama"—starring Timothy Hutton as a Robin Hood con artist—is the latest in a flurry of season renewals announced this week. Also returning to a TV near you are HBO's True Blood (season five), Syfy's Warehouse 13 (season four) and Suits, USA's freshman legal series. USA also ordered eight episodes of In Plain Sight to comprise its fifth and final season.

Although USA hasn't renewed—yet—its other rookie summer series, Necessary Roughness, the cabler announced that NFL star Terrell Owens will guest on the show's season finale. The flamboyant Pro Bowler will play TK's (Mehcad Brooks) lifelong rival Kevin "The Mine-field" Minnifield, an All-Pro safety/cornerback facing off against the Hawks wide receiver in the playoffs.

USA also announced a six-season premiere date for its longest-running and most deliciously flavored original series, Psych. Our favorite fake psychic detectives Shawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dulé Hill) return to TV Wednesday, Oct. 12 at 10 p.m. (You know that's right.)
