“The Equalizer, led by the incomparable Queen Latifah, has all the best elements of a powerful drama,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment, via statement. “The series is stacked with suspense, heroism, high stakes and formidable characters our audience roots for. We look forward to another dynamic season.”
Season-to-date, The Equalizer is averaging 8.3 million total viewers and a 0.65 demo rating (with Live+7 playback), which is right on par with its Season 3 numbers. Out of the 14 dramas that CBS has aired this TV season, it ranks No. 5 in total audience (trailing Tracker, NCIS, FBI and Blue Bloods), and fourth in the demo (behind Tracker, FBI and Fire Country).
