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).

What do you think? Do you like the Leverage TV series? Do you think that it should be cancelled or renewed for season six?
Por que quitan la serie? yo es 1 de las pocas que veo.
Haber cual ponen, espero que os esmereis, ya que no os va
a ser facil. un saludo desde Galiaia, Spain.
Renew, renew, renew! This show is great, and I think it has the potential to go on for a few more years (at least).
Plus the fact that I keep getting more people interested in this show and I would look really bad if I got them really into it just in time for it to end…
YES, MORE LEVERAGE PLEASE!!!! We love the show! Because of Leverage, the actors and the execs associated with the show, I’ve made so many new friends. Some I consider family, and I wouldn’t have been able to do so if Leverage didn’t have such an amazing following. All different age groups and walks of life that watch the show is just fantastic to see. And the amazing thing that Leverage has shown me is that you don’t have to be blood to have, or be, a family. And Leverage is a true family dynamic show that has a heart. We… Read more »
Hell yeah, will never get enough of Leverage. TNT would be foolish to let it slip through their hands. I have faith they will renew very shortly.
Yes! Renew Leverage! I can’t imagine not having the team on my television every season! It’s disheartening to see all of the “reality” shows, the whining, bickering, anything-but-entertaining shows that seem to be prevalent these days on the networks. Leverage has appeal for many ages, cultures, and the all-important eye-candy for everyone! Its a fun show! Don’t lose it, TNT!
Yes!!! Leverage should be renewed for another season!!!! The writing is still fresh, the characters are developing weekly and the fans love every one of them!! This is by far the best show currently on the air. With the world the way it is right now, it is a great escape to see the bad guys get theirs once a week!!
Please renew this series!!!
Why would TNT cancel the BEST show on tv? Unthinkable…
It should be renewed for season 6
Leverage should be renewed for as many seasons as the writers can continue writing for – it’s the best show on TV!!!
Leverage is smart funny,exciting and I look forword to it every week..It deserves a lot more thann it’s gine by TNT. Please don’t let it be cancelled.
It needs to be renewed for at least 5 more seasons, can’t live without it. ( Make that at least 10 years.) I do hope that TNT would experiment with other time slots before it would ever cancel it, they’ve moved it enough already.
I absolutely think it should be renewed. It is a great show and it gets better every year.
It has a great cast of actors and some of the best writers. It is also nice that the whole family can watch it. It would be a mistake to cancel it.
I love Leverage! It’s been my favorite show since the very first episode. I adore the cast, characters, writing, comedy/action/drama combination… I am truly hoping Leverage is renewed for a 6th season, and for many more after that.
The Season Five premiere of Leverage was awesome! One of my favorite episodes. It just keeps getting better year after year. I am looking forward to many more years to come.
I am hoping for a SIXTH SEASON of LEVERAGE .. LOVE THE SHOW! the BEST TNT has to offer!
