Spoilers for The Equalizer’s collection finale are forward! To catch up, you possibly can stream the CBS drama with a Paramount+ subscription.
CBS has been brutal with the cancellations this yr. The community has axed quite a lot of reveals, with The Equalizer most not too long ago becoming a member of the checklist of reveals canceled and ending in 2025. The Queen Latifah-led crime drama formally ended on Sunday on the 2025 TV schedule after 5 seasons, and as anticipated, plans had been already in place for Season 6. The showrunner even revealed what would have occurred had the present continued on past Season 5.
Within the collection finale, Latifah’s Robyn McCall and Tory Kittles’ Dante ultimately get engaged, which got here after Dante was shot throughout their romantic getaway due to Juan Javier Cardenas’ Salazar. Though followers are most likely joyful figuring out that the couple’s future is about in stone, they’re additionally most likely unhappy that they don’t get to see them get married. But it might have occurred.
In an interview with TV Insider carried out previous to the cancellation, showrunner Joe Wilson mentioned that he hoped to see the 2 stroll down the aisle for Season 6:
That I hope we get it. [Laughs] I can say is that if we do get it, there are marriage ceremony bells. We are going to see that marriage ceremony. It’ll be crazier than the proposal. It’s function worthy, what we might do with it. And simply the persevering with, what does their relationship seem like equalizing as a household enterprise as she says on this episode. So these are the issues we’d concentrate on.
Listening to what might have been with the marriage is unhappy, figuring out that followers won’t ever see that occur, not less than for now. Although maybe this could possibly be an excellent factor, particularly because it seems like the marriage would have been a complete lot crazier than the proposal, no matter that would imply. Robyn and Dante actually deserve a peaceable marriage ceremony, however that doesn’t imply that it nonetheless isn’t unhappy that the marriage won’t ever occur on-screen.
The marriage ceremony isn’t all that Wilson and the writers had been cooking up for Season 6. Wilson additionally shared that though it’s laborious to inform what else might occur within the sixth season, particularly with Robyn’s daughter Delilah going off to varsity, largely the whole solid of The Equalizer, roughly, would have returned, even when not full-time, and preserve that household dynamic that followers beloved a lot:
We’d must see the way it unfolds. Our plan is to set it up for the viewers to not miss the household dynamic because it at the moment is. In order that they’ll be in several capacities, however with know-how and journey, we don’t need to lose that core. That’s the core of the present, these three generations of black ladies and their relationship and the power and assist. We don’t need to lose that. So if something, we’ll dial it in much more so we are able to concentrate on that a bit bit extra. Even in case you don’t see it each episode, you received’t miss it.
It’s unknown if The Equalizer will likely be shopped round elsewhere, particularly because it’s clear that extra tales are ready to be informed. Queen Latifah has spoken out in regards to the cancellation, assuring followers that she is going to return to “kick ass” sooner or later. So on the very least, she might not play Robyn McCall, however she remains to be going to leap into motion. That doesn’t make the cancellation any simpler, although.
It is all the time powerful at any time when a present will get canceled earlier than its time, particularly when plans for the subsequent season had been already in place. Not even Tracker might put it aside. This actually makes me need a sixth season much more, figuring out what might have occurred, and the truth that it by no means will is actually laborious. But with Robyn and Dante residing fortunately ever after, it’s higher than nothing.
