Leverage: Cancelled by TNT, No Season Six

Published:December 22, 2012

leverage last episodeTNT 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?

Cannot believe Leverage is not coming back…… IS TNT STUPID OR WHAT???? That was my, and my family’s favorite show. Guess it is back to the standard channels CBS, NBC, ABC and FOX. Goodbye TNT. Will miss LEVERAGE.

LEVERAGE cancelled??? …TNT could’ve given viewers a little notice and WHY(?!). It was THE BEST … one of very few I ALWAYS watched to return … ‘specially in contrast with “reality TV” CRAP I won’t even think of watching.- MOST DISAPPOINTED -angry with TNT’s- “We know drama…”?? …REALLY ?? Now”Falling Skies” is about all TNT has… Getting more fond of CBS, SyFy, USA and AMC though. At least THEY really do still know what DRAMA is … TNT not so much!

I love that show. Most of the stuff on TV is full of people and stories that are just boring. But Leverage is fun and smart.

“Jac”s statement is short but couldn’t have said it better. I cannot begin to imagine what the decision makers were pondering to justify canceling such a smart, funny, dramatic, suspenseful and all around fantastic show. Please bring it back!
