Richard Lindheim, Michael Sloan, and Queen Latifah devised the gripping crime drama TV series ‘The Equalizer.’ It is centered on Robyn McCall, a single mother and former CIA agent living in New York City. While she has left her previous employment behind, she continues to use her skills as a vigilante figure known as the Equalizer to protect helpless citizens from crime. Robyn is assisted in her quest for justice by many old friends and new allies, but she is also pursued by the very law enforcement officers she formerly worked for.

Fans have adored the series since it started in February 2021, thanks to its vibrant characters and riveting narrative. Furthermore, after the spectacular season 2 finale, people are curious to find out if they will see Robyn in action a third time. To answer everyone’s questions, here’s everything we know so far about season 3 of ‘The Equalizer.’

Season 3 premiere date for The Equalizer

Season 2 of ‘The Equalizer’ premiered on CBS on October 10, 2021. The season 2 finale aired on May 15, 2021, bringing the total amount of episodes to 18. Each episode lasts between 43 and 44 minutes. Now, let’s talk about the show’s probable third season.

Fans can rejoice even more because the show has been renewed for seasons 3 and 4. Thom Sherman, CBS Entertainment’s senior executive vice president of programming, confirmed the same in a statement in May 2022, stating, “‘The Equalizer’ continues to pack a powerful punch on Sunday nights, and we’re happy to bring it back for two more seasons.” Not only that, but in an interview, creator and lead actor Queen Latifah revealed that the program will return for two more seasons.

Given that the third season has been approved by CBS, it is likely that it is already in the planning phases. The wait now simply depends on the production timetable established by the creators as well as the availability of the actors and crew members. Season 3 of ‘The Equalizer’ can be expected in Q4 2022 if all goes as planned.

Who could appear in The Equalizer Season 3?

Queen Latifah will resume her role as Robyn McCall in Season 3 and Laya DeLeon Hayes will play Delilah. Tory Kittles and Liza Lapira, who played Marcus Dante and Melody Bayani, may possibly return. Lorraine Toussaint is anticipated to return as Aunt Vi, and Jennifer Ferrin may reprise her role as Avery Grafton.

Adam Goldberg (Harry Keshegian), Frank Pando (Captain Torres), Chris Vance (Mason Quinn), and Dominic Fumusa are among the other cast members who will almost certainly reprise their roles (Detective Ken Mallory). Chris Noth (William Bishop) and Erica Camarano (Detective Paley), on the other hand, will not be returning because their characters have perished. Aside from that, new cast members may join the third season.

What is the plot of The Equalizer Season 3?

In Season 2, Robyn abandons her plans to retire as a vigilante when Marcus asks for her assistance in tracking down a bunch of unnamed robbers who murdered Detective Paley. Furthermore, she briefly encounters her ex-husband Dr. Miles while assisting a gunshot victim, resulting in a problematic situation. Later, Detective Ken Mallory, who is recruited to expose and apprehend the Equalizer, suspects Marcus of being involved. DA Grafton, on the other hand, continues to pursue Robyn with zeal, but when the latter saves her from a murder attempt, she calls off the chase and issues a warning.

Meanwhile, Robyn and her team work on a variety of cases, including rescuing Marcus after he is kidnapped by two fellow cops, locating the murderers involved in a hate crime, and assisting Aunt Vi with a trial in which she is a juror. Elsewhere, Mel discloses that Harry is still alive, but he is jailed, only to be rescued by William. Unfortunately, the latter is killed in Mason’s plane accident. As the season comes to a close, Robyn and Mason clash over William’s death, and Delilah learns about Harry and Mel’s assistance to her mother.

The third season will continue up from the previous season’s cliffhanger finale and show whether Robyn is able to avenge William’s death at the hands of Mason. Aside from that, it will go deeper into Delilah and Robyn’s relationship now that she knows the truth about her mother. Other potential plot arcs that can be developed include the possibility of a romance between Robyn and Dante, as well as DA Grafton deciding to pursue the Equalizer once more. Furthermore, our competent protagonist will face a new set of hard cases and will continue to assist New Yorkers with her devoted crew.
