The Equalizer is a reimagining of the classic series starring Academy Award® nominee Queen Latifah (Chicago, Bessie) 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. She looks like your average single mom who is quietly raising her teenage daughter but to a trusted few, she is The Equalizer.
Latifah’s work in music, film and television has so far garnered her a Golden Globe award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, two Image Awards, a Grammy Award, six additional Grammy nominations, an Emmy Award nomination and an Academy Award nomination among others.
Latifah stars and executive-produces The Equalizer, which follows a gender-flipped version of agent Robert McCall, originally played by Edward Woodward in 1985 and later played by Denzel Washington in the film franchise.
Latifah’s father and brother were police officers which compelled her to take the role of Robyn McCall – along with the show’s themes of justice. “Seeing those things in front of you and then having a role offered to you that almost mirrors what your life is like and what made you who you are, it was a no-brainer,” she said.
In the aftermath of her abduction, the walls between Robyn McCall’s family and vigilante life continue to crumble as those closest to her must come together for the first time to save her in season three of The Equalizer.
Destiny’s Child’s Kelly Rowland plays a superstar singer in the episode, “Paradise Lost.” When Misty (Rowland) decides to retire from the spotlight she receives a terrifying letter from a fan, so her security team contacts Robyn McCall to help track down the culprit.
Season 4’s release was due in the autumn of last year, but due to the writers strikes in America it was delayed. It has finally got a confirmed release date on CBS of Feb 18th 2024.
