In April 2024, crime drama series The Equalizer would be renewed for its 5th season set to premiere October 20 on CBS. The series is a reboot of the original Equalizer series from the ‘80s, and follows Robyn McCall (played by Queen Latifah), a single mother and former CIA agent serving street justice as “The Equalizer.” The 5th season was renewed as Season 4 was still airing, proving the success that the show had already achieved.
Where to Watch The Equalizer Season 5
The Equalizer Season 5 premiers on CBS on Sunday, October 20 at 9:30pm ET. Then, it moves to its regular time slot of 9pm beginning Sunday, November 3.
The Equalizer Season 5 on CBS
You can watch The Equalizer Season 5 on CBS without cable on any of these cord-cutting services:
Fubo
Designed for the ultimate sports fan, Fubo is an on-demand and live TV service that streams games from multiple leagues including the NFL, NBA, MLB, and the Premier League. You can get up to 215 live channels on your lineup, which includes coverage on RSNs and local stations, though you might have to pay extra if you want premium entertainment channels like Starz and Showtime.
Hulu with Live TV
Combining the best of streaming and cable, Hulu with Live TV pairs Hulu’s original programming like Only Murders in the Building, imports like Normal People, and licensed ABC shows like Modern Family with live TV channels like CNN, CBS, and TCM to give you an all-in-one TV package. The plans start at $77/month (with ads), but for an additional fee, you can upgrade to a bundle that removes commercials and throws in Disney+ and ESPN+ to the mix.
YouTube TV
Often dubbed as the best cordless replacement to cable, YouTube TV is a live TV streaming platform that gives you access to more than 100 channels, sporting events, local channels, unlimited DVR space, and up to three simultaneous streams. But what really gives YouTube TV its edge is customization; depending on your needs, you can easily add premium channels like HBO, sports channels like NFL Redzone, and Spanish channels like Unimas to your preferred lineup.
Fubo Elite
If you're a sports fan looking to cover all your bases, Fubo Elite has more than 256 channels and 130 live events that cover sports of all kinds, from basketball to cricket to golf. Channels include ESPN, CBS Sports Network, FS1 and FS2, beIN Sports, NFL Network, all the BIG Networks, and more. Depending on where you live, you should also have all the major local networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX. Even though Fubo Elite is a notch above the basic tier, with unlimited DVR and simultaneous screens, it still notably does not have Turner channels like CNN, TNT, and TBS.
Paramount+
Paramount+ is an on-demand streaming service packed with original series like the Star Trek reboots, Billions, Yellowstone, and Fraiser, blockbusters like Top Gun and Transformers, and live sports from CBS. The ad-supported plan costs $6/month, while the ad-free plan costs $12/month. The latter includes offline downloads, your local CBS station, and the entirety of Showtime, which is home to fan favorites like Yellowjackets and The Curse.
Cast?
Lots of uncertainty loom over the cast, as storylines include disappearances and goodbyes, all with their fair share of ambiguity for return. Marcus Dante (Tory Kittles) has said goodbye. Mel (Laz Lapira) has left the team following her traumatic season. But it’s a popular show. Never say never.
