The Equalizer is an American crime drama television series that premiered on CBS on February 7, 2021. It is the second reboot in the franchise, following the 2014 film and its 2018 sequel, and is a reboot of the 1980s series with the same name.

The series is co-created by executive producers Richard Lindheim, with Michael Sloan, and Queen Latifah, who also stars as the title character. John Davis, John Fox, Debra Martin Chase, Andrew Marlowe, and Terri Miller also serve as executive producers. Lindheim died from heart failure on January 18, 2021 while working on the series; the series premiere is dedicated to his memory.

In March 2021, the series was renewed for a second season which premiered on October 10, 2021.

Premise[]

"The series centers around Robyn McCall, an enigmatic woman in New York City and single mother to teenage daughter Delilah, with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills to help those with nowhere else to turn, acting as a guardian angel and a defender for those who cannot defend themselves while pursuing her own redemption."[1]

Cast[]

Main[]

  • Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall, a.k.a. "the Equalizer", a divorced single mother and former CIA operative who acts as a street vigilante for justice
  • Tory Kittles as Marcus Dante, a divorced father of two sons and an intelligent and shrewd NYPD detective on Robyn's trail because he is reluctant to have Robyn help him but finds common ground in getting justice. In season 2, they become allies and friends.
  • Adam Goldberg as Harry Keshegian, Melody's husband and a master hacker who faked his death with Robyn's help[2]
  • Liza Lapira as Melody "Mel" Bayani, a former U.S. Air Force sniper turned owner of a bar which acts as a secret base of operations and an old friend of Robyn's from her service days
  • Laya DeLeon Hayes as Delilah, Robyn's 15-year-old daughter, who is rebellious and feels neglected by Robyn, despite their attempts to bond with each other
  • Lorraine Toussaint as Viola "Aunt Vi" Marsette, Robyn's wise paternal aunt, who lives with Robyn and Delilah, having moved from Milwaukee to help them out and is a painter
  • Chris Noth as William Bishop , a quirky ex–CIA director and old friend of Robyn's who now runs his own private security company. He acts as liaison between Robyn and the CIA.

Recurring[]

  • Erica Camarano as Detective Paley (season 1; guest season 2), who works with Dante. She is shot and killed in the second season premiere while responding to a bank robbery along with Dante.
  • Jennifer Ferrin as Avery Grafton, a district attorney who has made Robyn's arrest and prosecution a priority for her office, seeing her as an embarrassment for the justice system and a threat to her re-election prospects. In the second season, after Robyn saves Grafton from an assassination attempt by a corrupt A.D.A. and a known career criminal trying to stop a probe into her office that would have exposed them both, and points out the blindspots that both she and her office have developed in their pursuit of justice, she decides to call off the manhunt, as long as Robyn does not cross the line too far.
  • Frank Pando as Captain Torres, Dante's commanding officer
  • Dominic Fumusa as Detective Ken Mallory (season 2), a detective recruited by D.A. Grafton to identify and arrest Robyn

Andrew Marlowe and Terri Miller would serve as showrunners with Latifah herself as an executive producer.[23] On January 27, 2020, CBS issued a pilot order for the new version.[24] Production companies involved with the pilot include Flavor Unit, Davis Entertainment, Martin Chase Productions and CBS Television Studios and Universal Television. On May 8, 2020, it was announced that the production had been given a series order.[25]

On March 9, 2021, CBS renewed the series for a second season.[26]

On May 8, 2020, it was announced that Chris Noth joined a starring role along with Latifah.[30]

On December 21, 2021, CBS and Universal Television announced Noth was terminated from the series after sexual assault allegations were made against him. His final appearance will be in the middle of the second season.[31] On January 3, 2022, it was reported that Chris Noth made his last appearance in "Separated" due to allegations that he assaulted women on December 2021.[32]

Filming[]

The pilot was slated to film in New York City in March 2020. Production was delayed as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States before filming could begin.[33] On February 9, 2021, it was reported that production has been temporarily suspended due to a positive COVID-19 test.[34]

Filming for the series has taken place in several locations in northern New Jersey, including Paterson, Newark, and Jersey City.[35] Exterior shots of a Jersey City home are used for Robyn McCall's residence.[36][37]

Broadcast[]

The Equalizer premiered on February 7, 2021 after Super Bowl LV on CBS.[38] The second season premiered on October 10, 2021.[39]

The series had its series premiere in Germany on Sky One on July 12, 2021[citation needed], in the UK on Sky Witness on August 3, 2021,[40] and in Italy on Sky Investigation (local version of Sky Witness) on October 3, 2021.[citation needed]

Marketing[]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the series has an approval rating of 67% based on reviews from 30 critics, with an average rating of 6/10.
