Q: Will “The Equalizer” return for another season? I’m really enjoying it, even though it’s very different from the original series back in the ‘80s. -- J.J.

A: The original series ran for four seasons on CBS and starred British actor Edward Woodward as a retired intelligence agent turned private investigator. While Woodward’s character focused on violent offenders, the current series, which stars Queen Latifah, is about an EX-CIA agent turned social justice warrior. Fans of the show might not know that there also have been two motion pictures based on “The Equalizer” starring Denzel Washington.

Tvline.com reports that new showrunners will take over “The Equalizer” for its “all-but-guaranteed season three renewal.” Andrew W. Marlowe and Terri Edda Miller created the modern version based on the Woodward-led eponymous series. The new executives behind the scenes include Joseph C. Wilson, who has been with the show since season one, so I wouldn’t expect any major changes. “The Equalizer” has about 7.5 million loyal viewers each week, so if it’s not broke, why fix it?
