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?
Leverage is the best show on television, the story’s are great, the cast is fantastic, they work brilliantly together. Its entertainment at it’s best. I have not missed a single episode, and have watched them over and over, I put Leverage on for my mother and she is now also hooked, I then put it on for my son and he also loved it, three generation’s all watching one great show, TNT really need to renew Leverage, they say they know drama, they should prove it and give the people what they want, more Leverage. RENEW RENEW RENEW.
Please renew Leverage! The show is very entertaining, the cast is fantastic and is one of the few shows on TV that is family friendly. I have never been disappointed by any of the episodes. RENEW LEVERAGE!
I’ve been watching Leverage since the very first episode. It’s the one show I make sure I watch whenever it is aired. If TNT would promote it more, the show would get the numbers it deserves. Am hoping that TNT decides to renew it for a 6th season…
Of course Leverage should be renewed. Its a great family show. Me, my 7 year old daughter, my mom and my oldest brother watch it and we love it.
You can be 100 % sure I want it renewed, I love Leverage. To me its way more than just a tv show, its like my second family and you’d want to keep an awsome family close to you right? 😉 So please renew Leverage 🙂
I want Leverage to continue for as long as it remains interesting, funny and relevant. That could be YEARS! To paraphrase a great man, “Make mine Leverage!” (Sorry Stan)
Well said, girl o’ my dreams. Excelsior!
YES I want Leverage renewed!!! When the time comes for them to move on, I hope they’ll know going into the season so the writers can wrap things up and not leave any unanswered questions. RENEW!!!!!!!!
LEVERAGE is by far one of the best TV shows ever. I look forward to Sunday nights so I can see my favorite team do their thing. The cast is the best; the writers are the best; directors are the best. It most definitely needs to be renewed for a 6th Season. TNT could loose a huge viewing audience if they don’t keep the really good shows going.
Of course it should be renewed!!!!! Leverage is terrific! The start of this season has really put them in a tough spot — new, earlier timeslot, later start, up against the Olympics, little PR support from TNT,…… The fans need to show ’em the love and spread the word!
Please renew leverage for season 6 and onwards. Over here in the UK we love it. We are presently running season 4 with earlier repeats and we are watching them all even though we have already seen them.
Please renew Leverage as i am in love with Beth Riesgraf and Gina Bellman as they are so HOT.
LEVERAGE should most definitely be RENEWED, and not only for a sixth season but many more seasons! LEVERAGE is the my FAVOURITE show.
Definitely renew…no question about it! It’s the best show on TV 🙂
Just a pity that TNT don’t seem to feel the same way…
Of course it needs to be renewed, one of the best shows ever. In this day and age, to have a show that’s pretty mild in comparison to a lot on the airwaves, I really don’t need to worry about my son watching it. The cast is so well put together, it’s hard to tell it’s not real. It shows how a group of criminals can turn their lives around and do good in the world, basically a positive message. No gratuitous sex, very little violence( less than a lot of popular video games), and usually a happy ending. Very… Read more »
There is absolutely no question that Leverage should be renewed! It’s the only decent show on television! I LOVE IT!!!! Many more season would be wonderful!
RENEW Levearge!!! Only an idiot would think that it should not be renewed. The show is so good. The cast, crew and writers are so talented. It clearly has the ratings. People watch this show over and over. I keep the episodes and watch them repeatedly. RENEW
