A Special Letter From Dean Devlin

The Long Goodbye is our final goodbye.

It has been decided today that this Tuesday’s episode of Leverage “The Long Goodbye Job” will be the series finale as TNT has decided not to renew the show for a sixth season.

I want to take the opportunity to thank TNT for five amazing seasons and 77 episodes of a show that has been so good to me.  I’m incredibly proud of the show and what we’ve accomplished.  Throughout this journey TNT have been the most amazing partners.  Their support and collaboration I will cherish forever.

I also want to thank everyone involved in making the show.  Tim, Gina, Beth, Christian and Aldis are the finest ensemble of actors I’ve ever worked with.  They’ve become our partners, our friends and our family.

The amazing crew who pulled off miracles every day on our show.  Thank you for everything you’ve contributed.  Your blood and sweat is in every frame of our series and I’m eternally in your debt.

And, of course, on behalf of everyone involved in the show, thank you to all the fans who’ve supported us and the show.  You have amazed us all.  We love you and thank you all.

I’m so happy we were able to film the series finale we had always envisioned and I’m happy we’re able to present it on Christmas as our gift to you.  It’s a bittersweet goodbye.

Gratefully yours,

Dean Devlin
Executive Producer/Director LEVERAGE

TNT's "Leverage" Coming To An End

TNT’s Leverage has thrilled audiences with its delightfully intricate plots, its “stand up for the little guy” attitude and its terrific performances from stars Timothy Hutton, Gina Bellman, Christian Kane, Beth Riesgraf and Aldis Hodge. But after five wonderful years, it’s time to say goodbye. Leverage will come to a close on Christmas, Tuesday, Dec. 25, at 9 p.m. (ET/PT), with a series finale that stands as one of the show’s best episodes.

We are honored to have worked with executive producer Dean Devlin, Electric Entertainment, creators John Rogers and Chris Downey, and all the cast and production crew on Leverage. We look forward to exploring new opportunities to work with them again in the future. We also want to thank the passionately devoted fans of Leverage, who have been the driving force behind its success.

Well, that just sucks. I was just telling Christina that from the preview, it looked more like a series finale than a season finale. So not cool.

Well, Dean did say that the season five finale was what he always had planned for the series finale. It just so happens that TNT didn't want to continue the show so it ended how he always imagined.

I'm so sorry Julie, I know how much you love this show - I know how I'd feel if SPN wasn't renewed - I can't bare thinking about that! :(((

It's a bummer, that's for sure. I'm still not caught up with SPN. Wednesday night is such a bad time for me (although, I think we had this conversation already). I'm hoping to catch up during the break.

It may not have been you, but I thought we talked about how it being on Wednesdays after Arrow is a bad time for me. But yes, I do record it and watch it when I can. I haven't seen any episodes yet this season!

I think you're losing interest in our show, I can't leave it a day before watching our boys :)

If I don't get chance to say it again, Happy Christmas Julie.

I just saw the article a few minutes ago! I thought this news might be coming, but seeing it in official form makes me very sad!! One of my other faves, Fringe, is ending as well. I'm just a very sad little fangirl here. :(

It's going to give me a reason to pull out my DVDs and rewatch from the beginning. Not nearly as good as new eps, but I won't be saying goodbye!

I had a feeling it was coming, too. It's still sad though.

That reminds me, I need to purchase a couple seasons to complete my set. I never did get into Fringe, but I heard it was a good show.
