Two familiar faces are joining the cast of The Equalizer for season three. Donal Logue (Law & Order: SVU) and Gloria Reuben (ER) are joining Queen Latifah, Lorraine Toussaint, Tory Kittles, Liza Lapira, Adam Goldberg, and Laya DeLeon Hayes on the CBS series, which is a reboot of the classic 1980s crime drama. At the end of the second season, McCall (Latifah, above) was kidnapped in front of her family.
Deadline revealed the following about the roles the new additions will play on the CBS series:
Logue will portray Colton Fisk, one of the CIA’s most decorated agents, an ex-CIA union chief in the Middle East during the 1990s. Empowered with a Tier 5 security clearance (the highest possible) he was part of the intelligence team that took out Bin Laden, and for many years he ran the Farm (Code name for CIA training base in Virginia).
But Fisk isn’t your typical uptight high-level operator. He’s an immaculate dresser. Hiding in plain sight. And when you have his kind of swag, sometimes a smile is all you need to disarm a ruthless arms dealer or flip a Middle Eastern dictator to do his bidding. He has no Achilles’ heel. No family, no friends or personal past that anyone could ever trace. He is married to the job. He is a ghost. Currently, Fisk’s assignment within the Company is on a need-to-know basis.
Reuben will portray Trish, a recently widowed gallerist who is rekindling a romantic relationship with her former girlfriend, Vi (Lorraine Toussaint).
The Equalizer returns for its third season on October 2nd.
What do you think? Are you looking forward to the return of The Equalizer on CBS?
While it is somewhat a stretch believing that an overweight woman could perform the physical actions she does, I applaud the show on real dialog. So many shows seem to replace normal conversation with four-letter. words. The plot follows the same format as the movies it is based on and is believable because people can get caught up with problem’s that do exist. I find it refreshing to watch it as these problems are entangled with the lives of a normal Young lady in high school. Event’s that are part of a normal teen’s “complicated” life.

Donal Logue is playing an immaculate dresser? He is the long haired blue collar type, and it sounds like he is playing a James Bond type. This will either be shockingly good, or absolutely terrible. Quite the different role for Logue, lets see if he is up for it.
Donal Logue? I’m in!
Why do you have to ruin such an amazing show with yet another homosexual relationship that has nothing to do with the plot? Probably will not watch.
Absolutely. The networks feel it must be in every show now. The old ‘just watch something else’ leaves us little to watch!!
Can’t wait for the show to come back Queen Latifah is amazing woman
Great to see The Equalizer is coming back!️✌
I am very excited about season 3! I look forward to finding out what happens.
It was so painful to watch season 2 (yes, I stuck it out 18 episodes). But I vowed to boycott it starting S3. With the addition of Donal Logue, I may have to watch the premiere.
I am most definitely looking forward to the series returning we all need a female hero and Queen latifah is just that
One of the best shows on TV. Queen Latifa is awesome!
CANT WAIT!!
Me too!!!
