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?
yes please renew leverage it’s the only way to see christian kane and the gang together.
This question should not even be asked!!! Of course Leverage should be renewed!I love TNT. Most of the shows i watch are on this channel but Leverage is different. Leverage is the only show that i record. Every Leverage episode is on my DVR and they are not deleted because i watch them over and over! Please please renew Leverage for another season!
It is very simple, RENEW LEVERAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is such a no brainer…Leverage is the best show on tv…of course it hould be renewed. It’s family friendly and smartly written. Not to mention the best cast on tv.
RENEW Leverage. My Sunday’s won’t be the same without the best show on Television.
Leverage is the only show that I never ever get tired of watching. It should be renewed at least another 3 seasons, brilliant writers, cast and directors
Leverage bis the only show on tv that I watch regularly. It gave me a distraction the year both my dogs died and my family even named our new male after Nate Ford. Please renew the show. TV ratings always decline when programs are randomly assigned new time slots, especially on a network which does minimal advertising outside of its own station
RENEW LEVERAGE FOR A SEASON 6 PLEASE!!!!!!!!! It i the best show ever!!!!!
#Leverage should be renewed.We all fans love the team an it is the best show ever.PLEASE renew it.
I’d love to see Leverage renewed for another season, more if possible. The show can’t end before Eliot kicks Sterling’s butt. 😉
Since it appears as though the ratings are holding .8 last year and .80 this year, whats the problem TNT? People all over the world love to watch Leverage! Its great for families, adults, children, all ages, how many shows can say that?
This question should noy even be asked…When most of the other channels are stuufing freakin vampires down our throats. Leverage is the one exception. Very smart, fun, and always entertaining. Shame on TNT for even considering it!!!
I love Leverage & I’ve got all my friends hooked! It definately should get renewed!
YES! RENEW! I wait all week long to see Leverage on Sundays! It’s a wonderful show, I’ll be so sad if it’s not renewed.
Renew it!!! It’s getting better and better with each season, and it’s only show my family truly enjoy watching!
