As one of the greatest cop shows of the 1980s, The Equalizer, originally starring British icon Edward Woodward (The Wicker Man), earned itself millions of fans across its four-year run thanks to an innovative eye for breaking boundaries in a genre well-worn by 1980s television. Upon its cancelation in 1989, and for the 25 years that followed, countless lovers of the series cried out for a reboot, which originally came in the form of the Denzel Washington-led movie trilogy that wrapped up its third installment in 2023. For many, this was a refreshing take on the source material, but, for others, the small screen was this story’s true home.
Finally, prayers were answered in 2021 when Queen Latifah and co took to the streets of New York City in a full television reboot of The Equalizer. Now three years on, the show has officially been renewed for its fourth season, with that upcoming outing just days away. So, with that in mind, here is exactly where you can watch The Equalizer Season 4.
