The Queen Latifah-led CBS series The Equalizer has been cancelled by the network.

It was confirmed on Friday by The Hollywood Reporter that the action thriller will come to an end following its season five finale, airing on Sunday.

The show was a revival of the 1980s series under the same name, featuring Queen, who is 50 years old, in the role of Robyn McCall, a character dedicated to assisting those in desperate situations.

It additionally starred Tory Kittles, Adam Goldberg, Liza Lapira, Laya DeLeon Hayes, and Lorraine Toussaint.

Following the news, Latifah took to social media to share her heartfelt reaction with fans.

Posting a solitary picture of herself as McCall, she addressed her eight million Instagram fans, stating: ‘Taking on an empowering role like Robyn was everything I anticipated it to be.’

She acknowledged her business associate Shakim Compere and their production company, mentioning, ‘Shakim and I at Flavor Unit are always thrilled to bring such roles and projects to fruition—and we simply hope you enjoy them as much as we do.’

The New Jersey-bred rap artist continued, ‘The Equalizer blew past every dream we had for it, and having the opportunity to do this for five seasons honestly feels surreal.’

‘Thank you to our amazing cast, crew, and producers and writers!

‘And I can’t say enough about the FANS! Y’all have been so loyal, so loud, and so ride-or-die—and that’s exactly why we keep doing this. We can’t thank you enough. It means the world to us,’ the entertainment vet expressed.

The caption concluded: ‘And don’t worry—I’ll be back kicking a** in something new real soon. Can’t wait to share it with you. All my ❤️QL.’

Last September Flavor Unit announced it was joining forces with HarbourView Equity, Jesse Collins, and Westbrook to bring to fruition a set of biopics.

It was unveiled in an Instagram caption that read, ‘We are excited to join forces to produce a slate of hip-hop biopics with these power teams, starting with the story of Queen Latifah. More to come!’

The show was a revival of the 1980s series of the same name, and featured 50-year-old Queen as Robyn McCall, who helped people when they were down-and-out

Queen celebrated her 50th birthday in March, marking the milestone with a special Cover Girl soiree.
