"The Equalizer, led by the incomparable Queen Latifah, has all the best elements of a powerful drama," said CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach in a statement.
"The series is stacked with suspense, heroism, high stakes and formidable characters our audience roots for. We look forward to another dynamic season."
The Equalizer is a reboot of the classic Equalizer series, which originally ran from 1985-1989. The new series stars Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall, "an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills as a former CIA operative to help those with nowhere else to turn."
Queen Latifah, who is also an executive producer of the series, is joined by castmates Lorraine Toussaint, Tory Kittles, Adam Goldberg, Liza Lapira and Laya DeLeon Hayes.
