Queen Latifah Responds to The Equalizer’s Cancellation

Queen Latifah has shared her thoughts on the recent announcement regarding the cancellation of The Equalizer.

End of an Era for CBS Drama

CBS revealed on Friday that the acclaimed drama series will conclude after five successful seasons. In a heartfelt Instagram post, the Emmy and Grammy Award-winning actress reflected on her experience portraying the “kick-ass role” of Robyn McCall, a former CIA operative, stating that it “was everything I hoped it would be.”

A Dream Come True

Latifah expressed her gratitude in the caption of her Friday post, saying, “Shakim [Compere] and I at Flavor Unit are always excited to bring these kinds of roles and projects to life — and then we just hope you love them as much as we do. The Equalizer exceeded every dream we had for it, and having the opportunity to do this for five seasons honestly feels surreal.”

Shifts in Ratings

Unfortunately, the series experienced a decline in ratings after its time slot was moved to a later hour on Sunday nights. The cancellation of The Equalizer follows similar news for other CBS shows, including FBI: International, FBI: Most Wanted, and Poppa’s House.

Gratitude to Fans and Team

Latifah took a moment to commend the “amazing cast, crew, producers, and writers” involved in the show, while also expressing her appreciation for the loyal fanbase. “Y’all have been so loyal, so loud, and so ride-or-die — and that’s exactly why we keep doing this. We can’t thank you enough. It means the world to us,” she shared.

Looking Ahead

In a promising note at the end of her post, Latifah hinted at her next project, assuring fans that she’ll “be back kicking a** in something new real soon.” She added, “Can’t wait to share it with you.”

Behind the Scenes

Latifah served as an executive producer for The Equalizer alongside Shakim Compere, Joseph C. Wilson, Debra Martin Chase, John Davis, John Fox, Loretha Jones, and Rob Hanning. The series was a co-production of Universal Television and CBS Studios.
