Robyn and her crew will be back to help those in need for both the 2022-23 and the 2023-24 network TV seasons. CBS has renewed The Equalizer for two years, seasons three and four. The current second season will finish on May 15th.

An action crime series, The Equalizer TV show stars Queen Latifah, Chris Noth, Lorraine Toussaint, Tory Kittles, Liza Lapira, Adam Goldberg, and Laya DeLeon Hayes. The story follows Robyn McCall (Latifa), an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background. She uses her extensive skills as a former CIA operative to help those with nowhere else to turn. To most, Robyn appears to be just an average single mom who is quietly raising her daughter (Hayes) and living with her aunt (Toussaint). However, to a trusted few, Robyn is The Equalizer, an anonymous guardian angel and defender of the downtrodden, who’s also dogged in her pursuit of personal redemption. Joining Robyn as champions of justice are her longtime friend and former CIA handler (Noth), an edgy bar owner and past colleague (Lapira), and a paranoid and brilliant white-hat hacker (Goldberg). As Robyn aids the oppressed and exploited, her vigilante work garners the attention of a shrewd NYPD Detective (Kittles). He once sought to uncover her identity, but now respects the need for Robyn’s type of justice, even as he often questions her methods.

Airing on Sunday nights, the second season of The Equalizer averages a 0.61 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 6.92 million viewers in the live+same day ratings. Compared to season one, that’s down by 48% in the demo and down by 21% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM).  It ranks fourth when compared to CBS’ other scripted series. In the live+7 day ratings, the season is averaging a 0.92 demo with 9.44 million, picking up 50% and 36% more viewers in the respective categories.

Here’s the two-season renewal announcement from CBS:
