‘The Equalizer’ Spinoff With 2 Co-Leads Eyed By CBS
The Equalizer is exploring a spinoff. The Queen Latifah crime drama will introduce 2 new characters in episode 516 that could anchor their own series.
Casting is currently underway for the roles: a skilled younger female martial artist, weapons expert and criminologist with a secret origin story who turns to McCall (Queen Latifah) for help, and an older male former top CIA operative. CBS has been taking a more informal approach with its planted spinoff efforts, introducing potential lead offshoot characters in storylines integrated into regular episodes of the mothership series. A reimagining of the classic series, The Equalizer stars Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall, an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills as a former CIA operative to help those with nowhere else to turn.
