As of the writing of this letter, we still do not know if there will be a season six of our show. Just as we didn’t know when we created the last three episodes which are about to air. Because of this uncertainty, John Rogers and I decided to end this season with the episode we had planned to make to end the series, way back when we shot the pilot. So, the episode that will air on Christmas is, in fact, the series finale we had always envisioned.
This is not to say we would not do a season six should we get the opportunity. Everyone involved with the show, from the cast, the crew, the writers and producers, would like nothing more than to continue telling these stories. But, in case we do not get that opportunity we felt that, creatively, after 77 episodes, we owed it to you, our fans, to end the show properly.
I sincerely hope you watch these last three episodes. They build to our conclusion. And the finale, I believe, is the most powerful episode we’ve ever done.
From all of us who make the show, thank you for watching, supporting and encouraging us. I’ve never experienced a fandom as intense, loyal and wonderful as you all.
Let’s go steal a series finale!

I'm hoping it's renewed, but I'm glad they wrapped the show up just in case it's cancelled.
ReplyDeleteSo happy about this. I mean I want to to be renewed so badly, but Leverage has always done a good job at ending the seasons so if there is not another season it will be so cool that we get to see how it was planned to end.
ReplyDeleteCome on TNT renew Leverage already!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Dean Devlin won't leave us hanging even if TNT doesn't seem to have a problem with that.
Gah, let's go steal a network for Leverage season 6!!!
No they have to do another season
ReplyDeleteWell TNT really didn't do it any favors in the ratings department for two weeks bringing it back against Sons of Anarchy's final two episodes of its season.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the share. This is great information and a great about the series even if we don't get six season we will know that the series was wrapped the right way. And if we get a season six we will have also a new ending. Great thank you.
ReplyDeleteThey can't stop! I love the show!
ReplyDeleteBut if they have to stop, I hope it's a good end. What I hate most (except for waiting for the next season) is that the last ep. ends with an open ending. If they have to finish the show, make it final. All stories and side stories are finished, secrets revealed, … Cause I hate to think for the next 10 years of how the show could go on.
I'm no hacker or hitter, but I think I could do the grifter part ;)
