đ CBS Cancels Multiple ShowsâHereâs Whatâs Getting the Chop
TV fans never like hearing the word âcanceled,â but CBS just made some brutal decisions.
Several showsâsome of them long-running and belovedâare officially ending after their current seasons. While the network hasnât revealed the full list yet, industry insiders claim at least three major scripted series wonât be coming back.
According to reports, CBS is:
â Axing multiple underperforming dramas and comedies
â Focusing on budget cuts and profitability
â Making room for new shows in the 2025â2026 lineup
One thing is clear:Â CBS isnât afraid to pull the plug on big-name series if the numbers donât justify their survival.
But what does this mean for The Equalizer?
đĄď¸ Can The Equalizer Survive the CBS Bloodbath?
With multiple cancellations happening, fans of The Equalizer are on edge.
đ¨Â Will Queen Latifahâs action-packed crime drama make it to Season 6?
The show, which reboots the 1980s classic and follows Robyn McCall (Latifah) as a vigilante fighting for justice, has remained a consistent performer for CBS.
đ The Equalizer has:
â
 Strong ratings in key demographics
â
 A dedicated fanbase that tunes in weekly
â
 A major star in Queen Latifah, who brings serious screen power
Unlike other CBS shows struggling to maintain their audience, The Equalizer continues to pull in millions of viewers per episode.
đŹÂ One insider recently stated:
“CBS knows how valuable The Equalizer is. Itâs a unique blend of action, drama, and heartâsomething few shows offer. It would be a tough call to cancel it now.”
đ Why Is CBS Cancelling So Many Shows?
CBS isnât just canceling shows randomlyâthereâs a bigger strategy behind it.
đ¨Â 1. Budget Cuts & Cost Savings
Hollywood is in a cost-cutting era, and major networks are looking for ways to trim expenses while keeping their most valuable assets.
đ¸ High-budget dramas with declining ratings? Gone.
đ¸ Shows that cost too much to produce? On the chopping block.
đ¨Â 2. The Streaming Effect
Networks like CBS arenât just competing with each other anymoreâtheyâre fighting against Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming giants.
â ď¸Â If a show isnât pulling in strong ratings or driving Paramount+ subscriptions, CBS wonât hesitate to cancel it.
đ¨Â 3. Making Room for New Shows
CBS needs space for fresh content in 2025 and beyond. That means some long-running series will be sacrificed to make way for new hits.
The Equalizer could survive if it continues to prove its worth both on traditional TV and streaming.
đŽ Whatâs Next for The Equalizer?
So, what are the odds that The Equalizer gets renewed for Season 6?
đĽÂ Hereâs what we know so far:
đšÂ The show is still one of CBSâs strongest performers.
đšÂ Queen Latifah remains committed to the role.
đšÂ The showâs themes of justice and action resonate with viewers.
đ˘Â If CBS prioritizes ratings, The Equalizer is safe. But if budget cuts force tough decisions, even fan-favorites arenât guaranteed survival.
One thingâs for sureâfans wonât go down without a fight!
