Queen Latifah talks about the future of TheEqualizer ahead of the season finale.
Now that you have two seasons under your belt, what is the lesson that you’re taking into Season 3?
This show doesn’t shy away from difficult subject matter — racism, sexual harassment and police use of excessive force — and is more about life in general, than featuring a bad guy of the week. What is something audiences have attached themselves to that surprised you? We spent a lot of time talking with the writers about what that experience is like, and why [the white woman] should stand there and call the police, and why [Aunt Vi] is within her right to press charges. We don’t have to walk away from that. And we got such a huge reaction to that, because it covered multiple generations, it was layered and nuanced, and it continued through the show.
So, who knows what’s gonna happen? Who knows what could happen, but, I’m looking forward to whatever he’s gonna do, because I know when he gets in the zone, it gets in the zone. I’m gonna keep doing TVs Robyn McCall and let him keep rocking the movie version of McCall; I know we’ll both continue to deliver.
“Living Single” spoke to our generation. It showed the hustle that we had, the desire to achieve and entrepreneurship. It showed hip-hop being validated, not as this passing fad, but an actual culture that involved many facets — not just the music, the graffiti, the breakdancing or the DJ-ing, but the fashion and the writing of magazines, films, and clubs and so many things that could be created. There was so much money that was being generated based off this thing called hip-hop.
Then we saw that Kim Coles, who we were big fan of from “In Living Color” was in a holding deal, and we decided did to link with her. Then Yvette Lee [Bowser], who was one of the young showrunners at the time doing her thing, we linked with her and we kind of created this idea. She literally rode around in the car with me for two weeks, just listening to me talk and my cadence, hearing me and my friends have conversations.
