While many of us are aware of the 1985 crime drama series The Equalizer, created by Michael Sloan and Richard Lindheim, or the Denzel Washington starrer The Equalizer trilogy on CBS, there is an equally tantalizing remake of the Og series starring Queen Latifah as the enigmatic Robyn McCall.

Before he was Mr. Big on "Sex and the City," Chris Noth was a lead on a little show called "Law & Order" from 1990-1995 and appeared in 111 episodes. He'd later reprise his role as Detective Mike Logan in the "Law & Order" spinoff film, "Exiled," in 1998 and the spinoff series "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" for another 36 episodes from 2005-2008, per IMDb. Prior to "Law & Order," Noth had several acting credits to his name. The series is what began a lengthy career for him with a number of prominent roles.

So imagine if Noth didn't end up starring in the series after being associated with the show and the leading man for years? Well, that was almost reality. Noth nearly lost out on the part in favor of Michael Madsen, an actor you may know from his numerous appearances in Quentin Tarantino films, according to Mental Floss.

Patton, whose uncle was the iconic World War II General George Patton, dazzled screens in the 1940s, starring as the female lead in 1947’s “The Burning Cross” and 1948 Western “Black Eagle.”

Queen Latifah is back to “equalize” wrongdoings in the first look at The Equalizer Season 2, which premieres on October 10 on CBS. Based on the 1980s series of the same name, Queen Latifah stars as Robyn McCall, “an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills to help those with nowhere else to turn.” McCall’s voiceover opens second season first look trailer, saying, “There are things in this world, things that no one should have to experience. And it is my job to make them right.” After an intense bank robbery and police shootout, Tory Kittles’ Detective Marcus Dante calls her for help. “I want your help. There’s something I need equalized.” Teaming up with Dante to take down bad guys, Chris Noth’s William Bishop offers McCall a piece of warning advice. “Going up against guys like this, watch your back,” he tells her. Following those words of caution,...

CBS dropped some trailers for some of its upcoming series during its turn at the Television Critics Association summer press tour.

We'll start with The Equalizer.

Will McCall be able to bounce back after the events of The Equalizer Season 1?

If the official trailer for The Equalizer Season 2 is to be believed, she's going to be in for a rough ride.

We see Robyn preparing to give it up ... until she gets a call from Marcus.

If you watch The Equalizer online, you know Marcus was very much against what Robyn was doing, but all of that changes after a traumatic event.

The series stars Queen Latifah (Robyn McCall), Tory Kittles (Detective Marcus Dante), Adam Goldberg (Harry Keshegian) ,Liza Lapira (Melody “Mel” Bayani), Laya DeLeon Hayes (Delilah), Lorraine Toussaint (Viola “Vi” Marsette), and Chris Noth (William Bishop).

If you listen closely to Robyn McCall’s teenage daughter Delilah on CBS’ The Equalizer (Sundays, 8/7c), she might sound familiar.

That’s because, up until last year, Laya DeLeon Hayes, the young actress who plays Delilah voiced the title character on Disney Junior’s Doc McStuffins. Now she’s using that same sweet voice to give her mom Robyn (played by Queen Latifah) all the snark and back chat she can handle and then some.

Queen Latifah is using everything in her arsenal to bring the titular Robyn McCall to life on CBS’ The Equalizer (Sundays, 8/7c).

The former rapper and singer relies on her musicality when it comes to fight sequences, and her sense of justice as someone who was bullied as a kid growing up in Newark, New Jersey. But when it comes to being the first Black woman to take the lead in the franchise’s history, on either the big or small screen, Latifah (née Dana Owens) is tapping into her genetic memory.

In CBS’ New York City-set re-imagining of the 1980s series “The Equalizer,” starring the late Edward Woodward as the stoic menace with a populist message, multi-hyphenate Queen Latifah plays Robyn McCal. She’s an enigmatic former CIA operative who uses her particular set of rather extensive skills to help those with nowhere else to turn. As yet another one of CBS’ exhumations of classic last-century crime/drama series, this “Equalizer” feels thoroughly unoriginal. There are a number of callbacks to the original series, which the reboot relies on primarily (not the Denzel Washington movie adaptations), but they probably won’t mean anything to new audiences.

Like the male “Equalizer” characters, Latifah’s McCall is a former intelligence operative for the CIA who became disillusioned with the government’s methods and opted for civilian life. What prompts her to enter a new career of reformer is a chance entanglement with the...

Queen Latifah is headed back to the small screen with the lead role on CBS drama The Equalizer.

The series is set to debut following the broadcast of Super Bowl Lv on Sunday, Feb. 7, 2021, before setting in on Sundays beginning Feb. 14, 2021.

The Equalizer is a reimagining of the classic series starring Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall, an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills to help those with nowhere else to turn.

The cast also includes Chris Noth as William Bishop, Lorraine Toussaint as Viola “Aunt Vi” Marsette, Tory Kittles as Det. Marcus Dante, Adam Goldberg as Harry Keshegian, Liza Lapira as Melody Bayani, and Laya DeLeon Hayes as Delilah.

The official trailer dropped on Sunday, and it looks like an action-packed affair.

The network is clearly betting big on the series by giving it the plum post-Super Bowl slot, a slot usually reserved for a...

Queen Latifah makes her debut as an under-the-radar crime fighter in the teaser for CBS’s The Equalizer.

The teaser, which dropped on Saturday, unveils the secret life of Latifah’s Robyn McCall. When Robyn’s daughter asks her about abrupt departure from work, Robyn shares the ever-popular nonanswer: “It’s complicated.” However, clips of Robyn protecting herself and others from dangerous situations prove otherwise.

Robyn’s daughter, however isn’t the only one seeking to learn more about her new side gig. Chris Noth’s William Bishop warns that the CIA is also on the hunt for answers as Robyn takes on a new, dangerous lifestyle. While Latifah’s Robyn hesitates to answer questions about why she’s decided to be a new hero, she knows exactly who she is and isn’t afraid to share it.

“I’m the one you call when you can’t call 911,” Robyn...

Queen Latifah is making The Equalizer into a “Ladies First” small screen platform come February with the launch of her starring role on CBS’s reboot series of the classic 1980s crime procedural. The series will appropriately join the Eye Network’s other currently running ‘80s reboots MacGyver and Magnum P.I.

Richard Lindheim, co-creator (with Michael Slone) of the Eye Network’s original 1985-1989 television series, is back as co-creator and executive producer, joined in that capacity by star Latifah herself. The series will operate under showrunners Terri Miller and Andrew Marlowe, who are also credited creators/executive producers.

Of course, The Equalizer is coming off a cross-media Renaissance of sorts, having spawned two successful action movie offshoots from director Antoine Fuqua—released in 2014 and 2018, respectively—starring Denzel Washington as grizzled vigilante Robert McCall, a character reinvented from the late Edward Woodward’s classic small screen version. Likewise, Latifah...
