Season three of CBS’s The Equalizer starring Queen Latifah will further explore the intermingling of McCall’s vigilante work with her personal life. Season three episode one, “Boom,” was directed by Eric Laneuville and will air on Sunday, October 2, 2022, at 8:30pm ET/PT.

In addition to Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall, season three stars Tory Kittles as Detective Marcus Dante, Adam Goldberg as Harry Keshegian, Liza Lapira as Melody “Mel” Bayani, and Laya DeLeon Hayes as Delilah. Lorraine Toussaint returns as Viola “Vi” Marsette. Brett Dalton, Gabriel Sloyer, Chris Vance, and Stephen Bishop recur.

In a May 2022 interview, Queen Latifah spoke to Variety about the importance of representation. “Telling these stories is very, very important because we’re representing people who really need to see some justice met. They need to see their stories told and to see the good guys win, and, in this case, the good gal,” said Queen Latifah. “And there’s not a lot of shows on TV that are doing that. That does happen in real life, believe it or not, but we don’t often get to see it, so here’s an opportunity to show it on a regular basis, and some of the difficulties that it requires in order to make things right. Unfortunately, some things are never made right, but we try.”

“Boom.” Plot: In the aftermath of her abduction, the walls between McCall’s family and vigilante life continue to crumble as those closest to her must come together for the first time to save her.
