Tory Kittles ( Colony) was cast as Marcus Dante, an NYPD detective. Lapira will play a former Air Force sniper and colleague of Robyn while Toussaint is Robyn’s Aunt Fry, who lives with her and her daughter. The next casting announcement came in February for Liza Lapira ( Nancy Drew, 9JKL) and Lorraine Toussaint ( Into the Badlands, Rosewood). She’s also a single mother to teenage daughter Delilah, though it’s still unclear who has been cast in the latter role.
Queen Latifah is all-around in this new show – she’s also playing the lead role! No longer Robert McCall, the protagonist has been reimagined into Robyn, who EW has quoted as “an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background”. Who are we going to see on The Equalizer? Production companies involved are Flavor Unit, Davis Entertainment, Martin Chase Productions, Universal Television, and CBS Television Studios.

The reboot was created by Richard Lindheim, also one of the creators of the series original, and Dana Owens, who we all may know better as the rapper, singer, and actress Queen Latifah! She will also be executive producing the show alongside Andrew Marlowe and Terri Miller (creators of ABC’s Take Two), alongside Dana Owens, John Davis, John Fox, and Debra Martin Chase. The team was able to film the pilot in New York City in March 2020 but as we all know, production was affected by the COVID shutdown – yet another show in the pandemic’s warpath. Here’s everything we know about the upcoming series! Who’s in charge?ĬBS first announced the series’ development back in November 2019, with the official pilot order coming in late January 2020. Now, CBS is continuing to expand the franchise with a reimagining and modernized reboot, particularly of the original series. This continued with the 20 movies loosely based on the original series, starring Denzel Washington as McCall.
The show ran for four seasons and followed McCall’s quest for justice for those who couldn’t claim it themselves. The Equalizer franchise began back in 1985 with the CBS crime drama series starring Edward Woodward as Robert McCall, the main character. Isn’t there just something about vigilante justice from a mysterious protagonist that’ll have you glued to your screen? Everyone roots for the tough lead character with an unknown past but some serious combat and intelligence skills. When it comes to action and mystery, The Equalizer is a prime example, whether you’re talking about the original late 80s series or the two-part movies.
