CBS’s The Equalizer happens to be the modern version of the classic ’80s show of the same name. After four successful seasons, the show is now renewed for another season.
The Equalizer was first released in 2021, featuring Queen Latifah. In the show, Latifah portrays Robyn McCall, a former CIA agent who now acts as a vigilante. She helps people who have been wronged while seeking her redemption.
Queen Latifah’s strong performance makes the series a great continuation of the franchise. Unlike many of the network’s other shows, which tend to be procedural, The Equalizer builds up to something bigger. No wonder, the show is renewed for another season. That being said, let’s take a look at the details about The Equalizer season 5 in the lines below.
