The Equalizer Series Finale: Here's Our S05E18: "Decisions" Preview

Here's our updated preview for tonight's series finale of CBS's Queen Latifah-starring The Equalizer, Season 5 Episode 18: "Decisions."

Unfortunately, tonight's episode of CBS's Queen Latifah-starring The Equalizer is taking on a bigger importance than fans were expecting (or wanting). Despite reports that there were talks for an abbreviated sixth and final season, CBS announced this week that the series would be ending its run with the current season – meaning that tonight's episode, S05E18: "Decisions," is now a series finale. Before you check out the official overview, image gallery, episode trailer, and sneak peeks, we have a look at what the show's star and executive producer had to say about the long-running series ending its run.

Here's a look back at what Queen Latifah had to share on Instagram when news of the series coming to an end first hit:

Stepping into a kick-ass role like Robyn was everything I hoped it would be. Shakim and I at Flavor Unit are always excited to bring these kinds of roles and projects to life—and then we just hope you love them as much as we do. 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.

And don't worry—I'll be back kicking ass in something new real soon. Can't wait to share it with you.

The Equalizer Series Finale: "Decisions" Preview

The Equalizer Season 5 Episode 18: "Decisions" – SERIES FINALE: While on a romantic getaway, McCall (Queen Latifah) and Dante (Tory Kittles) are abruptly ambushed by Salazar (Juan Javier Cardenas) and his army. Meanwhile, Aunt Vi (Lorraine Toussaint) finally decides to take the next step in her relationship with Captain Curtis (Christopher B. Duncan), and Dee (Laya DeLeon Hayes) meets with her favorite author who may be able to help her get into her dream university. Written by Joe Wilson & Rob Hanning and directed by Geoff Shotz, based on the original series by Richard Lindheim & Michael Sloan.

CBS's The Equalizer is a reimagining of the classic series starring Academy Award nominee and multi-hyphenate Queen Latifah (Chicago, Bessie) as Robyn McCall, an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills as a former CIA operative to help those with nowhere else to turn. McCall presents 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.

Robyn's clandestine work and her personal life often collide when her smart and observant daughter, Delilah, and her aunt Vi, who lives with Robyn to help her balance life as a working mother, struggle to conceal her vigilante career. While Robyn worries about the mental and emotional toll her work exacts on her family, she is joined in her pursuit of justice by Melody "Mel" Bayani, an edgy bar owner and sniper from Robyn's past who recently quit the Equalizer team to recover from post-traumatic stress disorder; and Harry Keshegian, a paranoid and brilliant white-hat hacker married to Mel. As Robyn aids the oppressed and exploited, she sometimes works with Marcus Dante, an NYPD detective and trusted friend who respects the need for Robyn's type of justice even as he often questions her methods.

The series stars Queen Latifah (Robyn McCall), Tory Kittles (Detective Marcus Dante), Adam Goldberg (Harry Keshegian), Liza Lapira (Melody "Mel" Bayani), and Laya DeLeon Hayes (Delilah) – with Lorraine Toussaint (Viola "Vi" Marsette). Developed for television by Andrew Marlowe and Terri Miller, as based on the original series co-created by Richard Lindheim, the series is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, in association with CBS Studios. Joseph C. Wilson, Dana Owens (Queen Latifah), Debra Martin Chase, Shakim Compere, John Davis, John Fox, Loretha Jones, and Rob Hanning serve as executive producers.
