TNT has officially cancelled Leverage after five seasons on the air. The action series will conclude its run on Tuesday, Christmas Day. Thankfully, the show about modern Robin Hoods will have a suitable ending.
Executive producer Dean Devlin recently wrote an open letter to fans. He penned, “As of the writing of this letter, we still do not know if there will be a season six of our show… Because of this uncertainty, John Rogers and I decided to end this season with the episode we had planned to make to end the series, way back when we shot the pilot. So, the episode that will air on Christmas is, in fact, the series finale we had always envisioned.”
Here’s TNT’s official statement about the cancellation:
TNT’S “LEVERAGE” COMING TO AN END
TNT’s Leverage has thrilled audiences with its delightfully intricate plots, its “stand up for the little guy” attitude and its terrific performances from stars Timothy Hutton, Gina Bellman, Christian Kane, Beth Riesgraf and Aldis Hodge. But after five wonderful years, it’s time to say goodbye. Leverage will come to a close on Christmas, Tuesday, Dec. 25, at 10 p.m. (ET/PT), with a series finale that stands as one of the show’s best episodes.
We are honored to have worked with executive producer Dean Devlin, Electric Entertainment, creators John Rogers and Chris Downey, and all the cast and production crew on Leverage. We look forward to exploring new opportunities to work with them again in the future. We also want to thank the passionately devoted fans of Leverage, who have been the driving force behind its success.
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear that Leverage won’t be back for a sixth season or do you think this is a good time to end the series?
I miss leverage very much. Really hoping you would continue the series.
I think the series was cancelled because it IS the truth as to what’s going on in corporate America. They’re afraid that the show will expose all the corrupt corporate activities that are going on in reality currently.
Didnt see the reason you cancelled Leverage. Did you have one? Miss its exciting and imaginative episodes. Sincerely jill
I go girl!
Please come back u guys, it’ my LIT FAV show and I have NO ideas on what to watch next I watched ALL the episodes . I miss u guys SOOOO much and those actors go soooo good together. If u r not going to make another season, at least make a movie or another cleaning tv show with ALL those same actors in it.
Damn shame, when you got a winner why cancel. I never missed season or episode. If you don’t bring them back, another stations will. So why lose a money maker? Very disgusted with TNT, also letting Justified go.
I am so mad that leverage is cancelled I watch all five season couldn’t get enough that was a sucky decision by the network please some awesome network pick up the show again
i don’t know what else to watch now. I’m so sad.
Just watched last show, NOOOOOOOOOO I need a season 6, I love these people! Find another way to keep it going!
I’m still having a hard time accepting one of the best TV shows EVER had been cancelled. I enjoyed this show immensely. The great stories and incredible talent, as well as the dynamics, of the actors are rarely all seen together on TV in a show in every single episode. Please try to bring it back, or at least, make a movie. Miss them all so much.
Please, bring back the program
Loved it
Please, please bring leverage back for more seasons. Love this show one of the best.
I am trying desperately to content myself with reruns but my heart still aches for this show and its entire cast. Then there was talk of a movie. Come on. When you have that kind of cast chemistry you don’t sit on it or waste it.
Please, please do bring the show back. I LOVED every single episode.
I watched all 5 seasons on Netflix; excellent show. So good to know there are talented and intelligent writers who can create an interesting show without all the gratuitous sex and offensive language. Proof positive a good show can be produced and hold a large audience’s attention. Intelligent and discriminating audiences are out there! I am sad Leverage is out of production, but to the Leverage team, on future endeavors, keep up the good work!
