The coolest gang of thieves, grifters, and con artists (Aldis Hodge, Beth Riesgraf, Christian Kane, Gina Bellman, and Timothy Hutton) are back for a fifth season on Leverage.
Will the TV show continue to bring in ratings that will get it brought back for another year on TNT? As you know, the TV series’ ratings are the best way to tell if Leverage will be cancelled or renewed for a sixth season.
The fifth season of Leverage typically airs Sunday or Tuesday nights. There are only 15 episodes this time (vs 18 last season).

I am disappointed with the TNT version.
There is less character development of the client. No acrobatics from Parker. No personal background secrets revealed on members of the team. No contacts outside the team. Timing and expression are in spontaneous and contrived. I do hope they get the chemistry back soon.
cancel you can only do so many episodes about the same thing and I love the show
I’ve yet to see two episodes alike! 66 Episodes so far and they are all unique so maybe you’ve just seen the same few episodes too many times as reruns???
Leverage is original and clever, well-written and well acted. My whole family can enjoy it together. We’d be heartbroken in it didn’t get renewed.
Season 6 should not even be in question. Leverage is a great show. Between the strong writing and the amazing cast this show has at least a couple more years left. Please renew my favorite show.
I would cry if it wasn’t renewed for a sixth season! Besides Psych, Leverage is the only reason I keep a tv. The cast is great, the show keeps my attention all the way to the end, and I love the couple pairings. I want more!
Leverage is my alltime favorite show…please renew it!!!
Definitely renew please! I always look forward to Leverage coming on. I’ve even got my dad, who is 86, BTW, watching it now. I really want a Season 6. And more seasons afterward, if possible, I just love it!
Renewed please
renewed definitely, we need more episodes on and several more seasons. It’s one of the best shows on the air
LEVERAGE should definitely be renewed for a sixth season! It’s the best show on television! I don’t have time to watch much TV, but I MAKE time to watch LEVERAGE! Let’s keep it on the air!
I definitely think “Leverage” should be renewed for a sixth season. The episodes are just as crisp as the first season. The first two episodes of the fifth season have been awesome. The stories, characters/actors and writing just keep getting better and better.
Need more seasons and more episodes…15 is not nearly enough for a season!
Please keep this series on the air! It’s a smart, witty drama with great actors and full of action/adventure. This show is a gem!
RENEW IT! Its the best show on TV there is nothing out there like it, I have followed it from the beginning abd hope to see it for another few years at least.
Looking forward to Leverage season six. Thanks for finally setting the show in Oregon, want at least one more
