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?
Renew! Please Renew. This show is so great and the cast members together are a great ensemble. I love watching them work together. Please renew this show.
RENEW!!””!
Please RENEW Leverage! This show is better than reality TV.
This show MUST be renewed!
I know they could wrap things up this season-but there are so many twists and turns that. Would affect the characters…I love this show because it is different than so many on network and cable…besides Hustle ended this year and I can’t lose both shows the same year!
You people are killing me!!! YOU HAVE TO RENEW LEVERAGE!!! I’m on my knees begging and pleading TNT. ALL of my favorite shows have gradually been cancelled. I’m down to nothing but Leverage. I’m a TV junkie, and I NEED my Leverage fix. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring back my show for many many seasons. Seriously, I live near Atlanta. I will be down there picketing in front of the TNT building if y’all don’t do this soon.
Unequivocally the show needs to be renewed. Leverage is hands down the best show on TV and one of the fully trully original shows on television. So many shows now are rehashes of the same old formula – cop drama, lawyer drama, forensics show, etc. A show as high quality and entertaining needs to stay on the air. PLEASE renew leverage for season 6 and beyond!!!!!
REnew this show its is a great show and these characters are so deep now that it just permits a sixth season. They are all learning more facets of conning and they are just one huge family that we love to see everyweek.
Please RENEW! Very fun show. Love it. Like a mix of Robin Hood and Mission Impossible. Only better.
renew it.
Are you Kidding!!! Its the best show on television right now… Most of everything else is crap!!!
leverage is the best show ever renew please
Please Please Please Renew!!! This is an Amazing show with a Great cast and it is one of my favorite shows!!! I Love watching it and there is still so much more to discover about the characters!!! I enjoy watching how the characters change and grow from season to season!! It Needs to be renewed!!!!
Please RENEW it. It is the best thing on tv and I look forward to it every week. I have bought all the dvd episodes that are out so far.. PLEASE< PLEASE PLEASE RENEW
RENEW LEVERAGE!!!!! Only show I actually watch
Definitely need to have a season 6. This is one of the best shows on tv right now. So many people love it and watch it , why would you remove it? The cast is awesome! They play so well off of one another great chemistry there.
NEED SEASON 6 and maybe even beyond.
Love the show and especially enjoyed the D.B. Cooper Job. Never miss a show and now watching reruns on ION!!! YES RENEW
