The Equalizer S1-4
Season 4 of The Equalizer comes in hot (literally) with Robyn and her team facing the deadly inferno that left them trapped in last season’s cliffhanger finale.
A reimagining of the 1980s series (which also inspired the Denzel Washington films of the same name), the hit show stars Oscar nominee Queen Latifah (Chicago) as Robyn McCall, an average single mom who’s quietly raising her teenage daughter. But to a trusted few, she is “The Equalizer” – an anonymous guardian angel who helps those with nowhere else to turn.
Latifah has been nominated for Best Actress in an Action Series at the Critics Choice Super Awards for the past three years running, with four nominations at the People’s Choice Awards, where the show was up for Drama Show of the Year in 2021.
Already renewed for a fifth season, the series’ cast includes Tory Kittles (True Detective) as Detective Marcus Dante, Critics Choice winner Lorraine Toussaint (Orange Is the New Black) as Aunt Vi, Adam Goldberg (Taken, Saving Private Ryan) as Harry Keshegian, and Liza Lapira (Unbelievable, 21) as Mel Bayani, with Laya DeLeon Hayes (aka the voice of Doc McStuffins) as Robyn’s daughter Delilah.
