Denzel Washington may lead The Equalizer in the cinematic universe, but when it comes to the small screen, that honor belongs to Oscar-nominee Queen Latifah. For four seasons, she's portrayed crusader for justice, Robyn McCall, and she'll continue doing so in The Equalizer season 5. So what can fans look forward to seeing in the new episodes?

Here's everything we know about The Equalizer season 5.

Next episode of The Equalizer season 5 

The Equalizer is taking a break for the holidays. The next new episode doesn't air until Sunday, February 16 at its new time on CBS at 10 pm ET/PT. Now would be a great time to catch up with anything you've missed this season on Paramount Plus.

For those without traditional cable/satellite television, CBS is also available through a number of live TV streaming services, including FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV. Paramount Plus with Showtime subscribers and subscribers to the CBS app also have the opportunity to watch episodes live as they air. Subscribers to the Essential Tier of Paramount Plus can watch episodes the day after they air on Paramount Plus.

In the UK, we anticipate episodes will eventually roll out on Sky Witness.

The Equalizer plot

Here is the overall synopsis of the series:

"Robyn McCall, an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background, uses her extensive skills to help those with nowhere else to turn. McCall comes across to most as an average single mom who is quietly raising her teenage daughter. But to a trusted few, she is ‘The Equalizer’ -- an anonymous guardian angel and defender of the downtrodden, who's also dogged in her pursuit of personal redemption."

Again leading the way on the series as Robyn McCall is actress Queen Latifah. Latifah is an Emmy-winning, Oscar-nominated actress who has had a wildly successful career in TV, film and music. She took off in the ‘90s after starring in the sitcom Living Single and the movie Set It Off. Since then, she’s appeared in a number of other projects including Star, Girls Trip, Hustle, End of the Road, Bessie and Chicago (the latter two earned her the Emmy win and Oscar nomination respectively).

Resuming their roles alongside Queen Latifah are Lorraine Toussaint (Your Honor), Laya DeLeon Hayes (Raven’s Home), Liza Lapira (Nancy Drew) and Adam Goldberg (God Friended Me).

Tory Kittles' (Sons of Anarchy) Dante character joined a new task force at the end of season 4, but it looks like he's in season 5.
