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?

Can’t believe fox channel gets rid of the best programmes on tv leavage is the best stop putting crap on an keep what the viewer’s want why don’t u read what the people want
Absolutely renew Leverage for a sixth season. I cannot believe that TNT would cancel this show. The story line is excellent, the actors are a joy to watch and you have a solid core group of people who watch the show. What is the problem TNT? Give us a break. Please reconsider the decision to cancel and keep this show on and the cast together.
Renew the series!!!! Definitely I would do
Anything to get the show back on the air. I love
It I even cried when I heard it got cancelled.
Please TNT if you have a soft spot in your heart
BRING BACK LEVERAGE!!!! And Nate and
Sophie should come back to the team eventually
Thanks Sabrina
BRING LEVERAGE BACK!!!!
Renew!
Ted–have you lost your head? Apparently so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Find a way and bring back one of the best shows ever on any network. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT. YOU do OWN THE NETWORK, DON’T YOU?
one of best con man tv show,,,
it’s more than a team and job,,,
they just like family,,,
you can expand it to many direction after nate gone,,,
please bring our family back,,,,,
One of the best shows!! Should absolutely not have canceled it….wrong move…plus ratings during the holidays and political mess of the elections we just went through? Leverage was and is, a great intelligent, well written and with unique characters..terrific concept and can relate to the Robin Hood concept…I have been there and wished I had a team like leverage to help. Plus there was minimal violence and killing…what a relief…
Well done cast and writers/producers.
TNT should not cancel Leverage…poor decision on their part. I am sorry…
We need our Leverage back!
WHY would you cancel one of the most interesting funny shows on tv? When I saw Sophie & Nate leave I had a bad feeling, so I looked online, Please bring this back!!!! The characters are great & yes I know it’s fiction, but I will really miss them. Will you be making movies of this series for TNT for those of us who really like this show? & no dvd set of the last season? It was one of the best. Debbie
DON’T DO IT! Viewer-ship may have dropped because you can’t compete with Sunday night football and Sons of Anarchy. This show has a place- just find the right time slot. The cast chemistry is awesome. I don’t want Elliot and Hardison to go away. Keep it going.
I look forward to Leverage, very cleverly written, good actors love Elliott. Bring the show back
WHERE WILL MY SOPHIE GO!? BRING THEM ALL BACK!
