The latest season of CBS's hit crime drama, The Equalizer season 5, is set to return after a season break on Sunday, February 16, 2025. Starring Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall, the show went on a break after the seventh episode aired in December last year. The upcoming episodes have reportedly been shifted to a later slot and will air on the network at 10 pm ET on Sundays.
The show is based on a series of novels by Michael Sloan revolving around a fictional CIA operative turned vigilante, Robert McCall. The character was first brought to life on the big screen by Denzel Washington in 2014. He went on to star in its two sequels in 2018 and 2023. The novels were adapted for television by CBS in 2021, but the network decided to go for a gender swap, recharacterizing the lead as Robyn McCall.
