Equalizer TV Reboot Starring Queen Latifah In The Works At CBS

Yes, not only is The Equalizer getting its own TV series, but it's going to have a brand new lead as well... the one and only Queen Latifah!

It's okay to be excited. She is amazing, after all.

Let's clear some stuff up:

IMDb

This is a new TV show based on a movie that was based on a show from the 1980s.

Try and wrap your collective heads around that one, folks.

But enough talk about the originals, what's this one all about?

IMDb

Well, it stars Queen Latifah for starters, and she'll be playing a role similar to the original.

Essentially, she's a woman who helps out people who have nowhere else to turn.

With crime stuff, we presume.

And she's not just the main character either, she's also going to executive produce.

Helping her out in that respect will be the creator of the original TV show, Richard Lindheim.

So we can assume it has his blessing.

Let's see... The creators of Castle, Andrew Marlowe and Terri Miller, will be acting as showrunners.

And that's about all we know, besides the fact that it will eventually premiere on CBS.
