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, Leverage needs to be renewed over and over and over. Now that the show is in reruns on ION and some CBS affiliates, why stop now? This is a show that is intelligent, charming, funny and keeps you on your toes. The writers are unreal and the actors are great. Who knew one group of 5 could play so many hats? Please keep giving us Leverage. And a full season please! And, yeah, ACTION FIGURES.
RENEW! With so much reality tv invading nearly EVERY channel I look forward to tuning in every Sunday night to watch my favorite gang of Grifters. Somehow the writers keep it fresh, the acting is phenomenal and just the right amount of humor is injected into every episode. We NEED a sixth season to off set all the mindless junk that seems to be the trend.
RENEW! Leverage has a very loyal fan base, mainly because the writing is fresh, the acting phenomenal and the subject matter engaging. With all the a horrible reality tv, being able to tune into Leverage every week is a treat. We NEED a sixth season!
I am hoping that Leverage is renewed for a 6th season. I feel that it is the best show on television, well written with great actors.
