Where to watch ‘The Equalizer’ Season 5: Premiere date, cast, trailer

Queen Latifah’s reboot-slash-spinoff of a beloved ’80s crime drama is returning for its fifth season this weekend.
Picking up where season four’s explosive finale left off, season five’s cast list for “The Equalizer” appears to indicate the return of two characters that supposedly left the Equalizer team. After her kidnapping and rescue in the final season four episode, Mel (Liza Lapira) was so shaken that she left the team, while Marcus (Tory Kittles) left NYC after breaking up with Robyn (Queen Latifah).
According to CBS, the first episode of the new season, titled “The Lost Ones,” will see Robyn on a mission to rescue two siblings who are caught up in a troubling situation after stealing a grocery truck while Harry (Adam Goldberg) and Delilah (Laya DeLeon) help Mel through the aftermath of her kidnapping.
Here’s what to know about the premiere of “The Equalizer” Season 5.
“The Equalizer” Season 5 will premiere on CBS on Sunday, October 20, at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT. After the first two episodes, the series will return to its regular time slot of 9 p.m. ET/PT for the remainder of the season.
