Last month CBS canceled Damon Wayans new sitcom, "Poppa's House," after just one season [click here if you missed that].
Now CBS has axed The Equalizer, starring Queen Latifah, after five seasons...
From Deadline
Robyn McCall has done her final quest for justice. CBS has opted not to renew crime drama The Equalizer, starring and executive produced by Queen Latifah, for a sixth season. This was the last CBS scripted series or pilot awaiting to learn their fate ahead of the network’s 2025-26 schedule announcement on May 7.
There are no plans for The Equalizer, produced by Universal Television, part of Universal Studio Group, to be shopped, I hear. Sunday’s Season 5 finale now will serve as a series finale.
As Deadline previously reported, The Equalizer had been in consideration for what was expected to be a 13-episode sixth and final season. Odds were always 50-50 at best, but there had been promising signs. Since finances play a key role in any renewal conversations these days, I hear producers of The Equalizer had agreed to reduce the budget of the show to the levels CBS had asked for, with Queen Latifah believed to have made concessions herself.
But that was never a guarantee for a pickup. It came down to the wire as CBS is putting the final touches on its 2025-26 schedule, with the network ultimately opting to cancel The Equalizer.

On a similar note, my local CBS station has started carrying the Armstrong Williams show. I didn't know that plagiaristic coon even had a show. Looks like CBS is competing with Fox for their viewers. Trump has these media outlets eating out the palm of his hands.
CBS: Cancel BLACK Shows
The owners support Trump.
CBS is a well known for its r@cist ways before Fox came along.
I Love my ppl and want them to succeed at all cost but I don't think QL can act. LOLO
I think they wanted to stop the show right before it was eligible for SYNDICATION. Syndication is a 100 episodes and the EQUALIZER completed 74 episodes. Syndication is when and where the real money comes from.
An unrealistic show. The queen was beating up grown ars men while being overweight and old. Now Denzel was a real EQUALIZER.
It was funny to watch. The wrong person for the job.
11:44 that part and she is too old to be knocking folks out. No acting abilities. DEI in full effect. CBS is the network that folded under Dumps rule.
