As a bit of back story, the original The Equalizer was Edward Woodward in a television series on CBS that ran from 1985-1989, Shadow and Act reports. The series transitioned into a film in 2014 as Washington took on the role of Robert McCall. The film then gave Washington the first sequel of his career in 2018. Now, Latifah will step in and guide the series that has been ordered at CBS. The series is set to co-star Chris Noth, Lorraine Toussaint, Tory Kittles, Liza Lapira, and Laya DeLeon Hayes.
