Leverage seen in South Africa on Sony Entertainment Television (DStv 127) has been cancelled and will end after its current 5th season and 77 episodes.
"Im so happy we were able to film the series finale we had always envisioned," says Dean Devlin, the executive producer and director of Leverage in a statement, calling it "a bittersweet goodbye".
Earlier this month, before knowing whether the 5th season would also be the final season, Dean Devlin told the show's fans in an open letter that the season 5 finale was designed as a "powerful" series finale, should Leverage not be picked up for a 6th season.
"Fellow executive producer 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," Dean Devlin wrote and is "the series finale we had always envisioned".
