CBS is considering a spinoff for "The Equalizer," introducing new characters with ties to Queen Latifah's Robyn McCall.

The Equalizer is multiplying. The CBS procedural, which stars Queen Latifah as former CIA operative Robyn McCall, will introduce a pair of new characters later this season that could potentially lead their own spinoff series,
