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?
Please renew Leverage! It is such a great show – so well written, directed and acted! Didn’t it hold it’s own against the Olympics? Give it some more press/commercials to widen it’s fan base! I am always spreading the word. It’s a show my whole family watches!
Most definitely Leverage should be renewed!!! Asides from Burn Notice this is my only other MUST see for the summer and honestly, it’s one of the best acted, directed and written shows out there! This season has far and away been their best yet! I don’t even want to think about life without the Leverage gang! Please TNT, give us another season!
Leverage has gotten better ratings every year that it has been on. It is an AWESOME show that you can even watch with your children. RENEW LEVERAGE TNT!!!!
Leverage is one of the best shows I´ve ever seen. And I´ve seen a lot 😉
Writers, producers, cast & crew .. they are doing a great job!! They deserve a sixth season!!!
RENEW LEVERAGE!!
Yes, “Leverage” should be renewed. This is a show of a group of people who first started off stealing for themselves and were on their own but as time progressed, the group got together and become a family who help innocent victims who were being taken advantage of from corporate companies. The compassion between Hardison & Eliot, Parker & Eliot, Sophie & Parker is remarkable. No other show can give you something like this show gives – it has drama, comedy, explosions, heartfelt story lines and a “Damn It, Hardison” to boot. The Fans/Grifters/Kaniacs/Huttonites all are doing what they can… Read more »

Renew Leverage for many seasons to come! The show has everything…..comedy, drama, action, awesome acting and amazing writing!! Great crew and great guest stars!! If TNT would promote more, everyone would watch it!! If ever a show deserved to be renewed it is Leverage!!!
Please renew! My fav show ever!
Renew Leverage…. no brainer! This show gets almost NO promotion by TNT and yet is one of their steady workhorses- WHY?- because it is the best show on TV. The fans know that and come back without TNT’s support. Everyone that my sister or I have ever introduced to the show have fallen in love with it. In the sea of lousy reality television that has consumed almost all other channels- TNT has a REAL gem of a show that is great for everyone and they’re hemming and hawing about renewal? Come on TNT… wake up and smell the coffee.… Read more »
LEVERAGE is the best show on TV since Lost. I thought I was “Lost” until I found LEVERAGE .. and now I am found. Leverage should really have another Season 6!
Yes, Yes, Yes, Renew Leverage, season 6, 7, 8 etc Love this show. Best characters, best plot, drama, wit, and action combined into one fantastic show…. Best cast and crew, writers, directors, producers…. Great Chemistry All Around! You can see it in every episode! More seasons a must!!!!
Leverage .. the best show on TV since Lost. I was an insane Lostie and grieved when the series was over .. until I found Leverage. What a perfect cast: a mastermind (Tim H), a Grifter (Gina B), a Hacker (Aldis H), a Thief (Beth R) and of course, most important of all .. the hitter (Christian Kane) .. I don’t remember be as this passionate (obsessed) with a show in a long time and thank TNT for airing it. But, I am disappointed that it hasn’t been renewed yet. What will I do with my Sunday evenings (or Wednesdays… Read more »
I definitely think Leverage should be renewed. I would love to see TNT show more love for the show by promoting it more. People are really missing out on an amazing show with the best cast and well written scripts. This is one of the best shows ever!!
Renew it!!!
Leverage is the only show that all my family watch, and eagerly awaits every week.
