    It’s been a tough time to be a fan of The Equalizer.

    The beloved CBS procedural is the one present on the community nonetheless awaiting phrase on its future, and given the way it has been handled in latest months, I haven’t been optimistic about its possibilities for renewal.

    So, you may solely think about my shock when a derivative was introduced earlier this 12 months.

    Even worse, it was arrange as a backdoor pilot of the mothership.

    With no time to craft a closing chapter if The Equalizer is canceled, the very last thing I needed was any time taken away from Robyn and the multi-layered people in her orbit.

    However then alongside got here Titus Welliver and Juani Feliz, who had been set to co-anchor the spinoff as a father and daughter duo.

    The Equalizer Spinoff Was a Change of Tempo for Titus Welliver

    Welliver is coming off a years-long stint as Harry Bosch, so I used to be uncertain whether or not this was the correct subsequent step for him to anchor a derivative of such a beloved present.

    Elijah and Samantha’s sophisticated dynamic would have made for an honest TV present, however I didn’t see it lasting for greater than 13 episodes.

    Except some immense world-building was deliberate, it could have most likely struggled to maintain viewers entertained for too lengthy.

    With The Equalizer’s future nonetheless up within the air, it appeared that CBS was solely involved in a derivative to chop prices and maintain the franchise alive in some capability.

    Lately, it’s occurred with the FBI and NCIS universes, the place a extra veteran collection has been canceled in favor of a brand new spinoff.

    It’s not a very good look and dangers alienating followers, interval. CBS reveals have numerous viewers crossover due to their subject material.

    Viewers know that CBS is a haven for procedurals with sophisticated characters, and there’s all the time that threat that followers will clever up and vote with their eyes by merely not watching new reveals.

    Whereas there may have been a possible present within the backdoor pilot for the spinoff, I believe its cancellation is an encouraging signal that The Equalizer will return for a sixth and ultimate season.

    CBS Has Canceled Many Fan-Favorites

    The truth that FBI Worldwide and FBI: Most Needed had been each canceled final month signifies it was a call that the community got here to too shortly.

    With The Equalizer, the dialog appears destined to come back down the wire, which has occurred up to now for a lot of reveals.

    However we’re not out of the woods but. These negotiations can fall by way of, a testomony to how finicky they will get.

    CBS and Common Studios goal to maintain the present on the air in a means that advantages each the community and the studio financially.

    It’s the secret, and I wouldn’t wish to be any a part of these talks as a result of I think about they should be tough.

    Ending a collection, notably with a large solid and crew, can’t be straightforward. The one that makes that decision most likely thinks about that call lengthy after it. At the very least, I might have if I had ever been in that place.

    Anyway, CBS messed with The Equalizer by transferring it to the 9/8c p.m. slot to accommodate Tracker final season, and royally screwed the pooch earlier this 12 months by transferring it to the ten/9c slot.

    I’m not going to lie, the latest numbers are worrisome. If there’s one factor followers must be doing now, it’s watching the present stay and streaming it as a lot as doable.

    What would have been in retailer for the spinoff if the community handled the mothership this badly?

    These choices make little sense, however hopefully, we’ll rejoice The Equalizer’s renewal within the coming weeks.
