After dragging its decision for months, TNT has pulled the plug of drama Leverage four days before the series? fifth season finale. The series executive producer. The news comes two weeks after Devlin announced in an open letter to fans that he and co-creator John Rogers decided to end the current Season 5 finale they way they envisioned the series would end ? in case there was no Season 6. Leverage, which is independently produced by Devlin?s Electric Entertainment, has been on the bubble the past couple of years but has managed to secure last-minute renewals. The Season 5 finale is set for Christmas, December 25. Here are TNT?s statement and Devlin?s letter on Leverage?s cancellation:

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., 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.

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

I'm actually glad they are ending it. The show has gone completely down hill after the first 2-3 seasons in my opinion.
