Bad news: According to The Hollywood Reporter, TNT has opted to not move forward with another season of drama series Leverage. Executive producer Dean Devlin confirmed the news on a fan site for the show yesterday, saying that the season five finale, The Long Goodbye Job, is the "final goodbye" for the series.

None

Just earlier this month, Devlin wrote a letter to the same Leverage fansite revealing that the upcoming Christmas-themed finale was the episode that was always intended to end the series. "We knew there were only five more [episodes] to go [in the season], and we had to make a decision," Devlin wrote, "We decided to make the decision. We knew it was risky, so we thought, 'Let's go for it.'" 

The final episode will air on Tuesday, December 25th at 10 PM on TNT.
