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?

Pleas,please,please, Renew Leverage for a season six and beyond!!!!!!
This is by far my favorite show on TV. I have never missed an episode and I have watched since the very first Episode. Christian Kane brought me to it, as I had watched him on Angel, and I continued because I had never seen a show like it before. The characters have so much depth and quirkiness and I have loved watching them become a cohesive work/family unit over the last 5 years. There are so many more plots that can be explored and there is still so much we don’t know about the characters. I hope they get… Read more »
I Love “LEVERAGE”! This is a one of a kind show.There is nothing else on the networks like this and thats great. I’m so tired of the same old same old show, different people ,different time or date but the same stuff. “Leverage” is the only show out there that is for the true blue collar work man or should we say The Underdogs. People fighting for the people. Sticking it to the man when the people cant.After a hard days work were we are feed up you can come home and watch a show that makes you laugh and… Read more »

I have loved this whole season. Each season has gotten better and better. I hope for more seasons so, I can see where they go.
RENEW IT. All the characters are awesome, and I don’t know what I’ll do if I don’t have this show to refresh me after a long day.
I don’t want it renewed, I NEED it renewed! I really can’t understand why it’s taking so long for TNT to make a decision; no reason not to renew. I really like the other TNT shows but, I love Leverage. None of the new (& not so new ) shows are as well thought out and written. The ensemble cast is the best since Mash! I will keep pushing TNT to renew Leverage by e-mail, note cards, spreading the word to my followers on the internet spaces I follow and whatever else needs done. Thank You for the opportunity to… Read more »
Renew! ‘Nuff said.
Love this show, so refreshing and very well done. Best thing on televsion.
