Week 31: The Equalizer Is Likely To Be Renewed

The Equalizer is likely to be renewed. Its 2024 ratings are 118% of the CBS scripted average. More than enough to make renewal likely for a season 5.

Last week, CBS renewed FBI (for 3 seasons), FBI:International, FBI: Most Wanted, NCIS and The Neighborhood, and unrenanceled* SWAT.

Edit 4/15: ABC has renewed The Rookie.

Edit 4/18: CBS has renewed Elsbeth.

Edit: 4/19 CBS canceled So Help Me Todd, CSI:Vegas.
