‘The Equalizer’ Starring Queen Latifah Canceled By CBS After 5 Seasons
CBS has opted not to renew crime drama The Equalizer, starring and executive produced by Queen Latifah, for a sixth season.
Since finances play a key role in any renewal conversations these days, I hear producers of The Equalizer had agreed to reduce the budget of the show to the levels CBS had asked for, with Queen Latifah believed to have made concessions herself. The Equalizer, which became the fourth network primetime drama headlined by a Black woman, got the biggest launch pad available in television with a series premiere behind the Super Bowl in 2021. 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.
