US crime series The Equalizer, starring Queen Latifah, has been renewed for a fifth season.
Queen Latifah (who also executive produces) features as Robyn McCall, a former CIA operative turned freelance problem-solver for people who have nowhere else to turn. The show is a reimagining of the 1985-89 series of the same name but not connected to the Denzel Washington-led film franchise that’s also inspired by the original series.
It also features Lorraine Toussaint, Tory Kittles, Adam Goldberg, Liza Lapira and Laya DeLeon Hayes.
US ratings are averaging 7.89 million viewers and rises to more than 10 million across all platforms with five weeks of viewing.
“The Equalizer, led by the incomparable Queen Latifah, has all the best elements of a powerful drama,” CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach said in a statement. “The series is stacked with suspense, heroism, high stakes and formidable characters our audience roots for. We look forward to another dynamic season.”
The series has screened in Australia on Nine but 9Now is yet to screen S4.

Originally I was sceptical with QL as the lead in this but I found she has done a good job as a female version of McCall ….will be interesting how they can keep the story going.
