The Equalizer Season 4: Latest News, Release Date, and Everything Else to Know

The main characters of The Equalizer were quite tied up in the Season 3 finale — literally. Robyn McCall has found herself in a position she might not be able to talk or fight her way out of. The season ended with Robyn (Queen Latifah) and four of her colleagues being held captive by a Venezuelan rebel group. To make matters worse, the group is being led by Robyn's former best friend, Michelle (Ilfenesh Hadera) — whom Robyn thought had died on a mission years ago. Unfortunately for all of them, Michelle sees it as Robyn left her for dead.

The finale ended with Robyn watching as the room where her friends were restrained was lit on fire. It's no wonder that fans of the CBS series have been not-so-patiently waiting for its return. Due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the show's normal fall return has come and gone. But now, with both strikes ended, we have updated information on when The Equalizer will air. Read on to see when The Equalizer Season 4 will premiere, who will be in Season 4, and more.

The Equalizer Season 4 latest news

Now that both the writers and actors strikes have been resolved, networks have announced return dates for series that were delayed by the work stoppages. In mid-November, CBS released its 2024 midseason premiere dates and pegged Sunday, Feb. 18 as the return date for The Equalizer. 

The Equalizer Season 4 release date

Good news: The Equalizer Season 4 will premiere on Sunday, Feb. 18 at 8/7c on CBS. It will air after 60 Minutes and lead in to CBS's hot new series Tracker, starring This is Us' Justin Hartley. 

What will The Equalizer Season 4 be about?

Although no details have been released about The Equalizer Season 4 yet, we can assume that it will drop us right back where Season 3 ended: Robyn and Fisk (Donal Logue) are being held captive by their former colleague Michelle. Not only is Robyn helpless to get free, but she is also being forced to watch the people she loves — Mel (Liza Lapira), Harry (Adam Goldberg), and Dante (Tory Kittles) — potentially burn alive. They're strapped to chairs in a room that is soaked with kerosene, and the season ends when a match sets it ablaze. 

How will they all get free? Only Season 4 can say. But maybe Aunt Vi (Lorraine Toussant) and Delilah (Laya DeLeon Hayes) can help. After all, Delilah has been training with Mel and her mother, and Aunt Vi defused a hostage situation all on her own. They're becoming mini Equalizers in their own ways.

The Equalizer Season 4 cast

Again, because we don't know specifics about The Equalizer Season 4, we can only predict who will continue to be on the series. However, as there were no deaths in the finale, we can assume that the main cast will return — at least for one episode to wrap up their storylines, even if they don't make it out of the fiery blaze.

The Equalizer main cast:

• Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall, aka "the Equalizer"
• Tory Kittles as Marcus Dante
• Adam Goldberg as Harry Keshegian
• Liza Lapira as Melody "Mel" Bayani
• Laya DeLeon Hayes as Delilah
• Lorraine Toussaint as Viola "Aunt Vi" Marsette
• Donal Logue as Colton Fisk
