Season 6 of The Equalizer Could Have Changed Everything—Find Out What’s Now Lost

After five adrenaline-charged seasons, Queen Latifah has officially holstered her badge as Robyn McCall, wrapping up The Equalizer on CBS with an emotionally satisfying and action-filled finale on Sunday, May 4. While the series has concluded its run, the final episode left fans with hope, closure—and a hint of what might have been.

The episode opened on a hopeful note, with Robyn and Detective Marcus Dante (Tory Kittles) escaping the chaos for a romantic retreat. But peace was short-lived. Villain Salazar (Juan Javier Cardenas) tracked them down, ambushing their cabin and leaving Dante critically wounded. Robyn, taken hostage, was rescued in a high-stakes mission by her loyal team: Harry (Adam Goldberg) and Mel (Liza Lapira). After a tense standoff, Robyn finally ended Salazar’s reign once and for all.

In a tender twist amid the mayhem, Dante proposed to Robyn as he teetered on the edge of consciousness. Her heartfelt “yes” came just before the credits rolled, closing the series on a rare and well-earned note of joy. The finale scene—an engagement celebration with the full cast, including Delilah (Laya DeLeon Hayes), Vi (Lorraine Toussaint), Curtis (Christopher B. Duncan), Harry, and Mel—offered a warm farewell to fans who’ve followed their journey since 2021.

Each character received a thoughtful send-off: Delilah continued pursuing her dreams of Howard University, Vi and Curtis planned their future together, and Harry and Mel chose to stay in the game a little longer. According to showrunner Joe Wilson, the neatly tied-up ending was “definitely on purpose.” At the time of production, the show’s renewal status was uncertain. Days before the finale aired, CBS confirmed it would not move forward with a sixth season.

Still, Wilson remains optimistic. “If we do get it, there are wedding bells. We will see that wedding,” he teased, describing the envisioned ceremony as “crazier than the proposal” and “feature-worthy.”

While The Equalizer‘s CBS chapter has closed, Robyn McCall’s story may not be over yet. Whether on another network or in a new form, the door to more justice—and possibly a wedding—remains cracked open.
