Potential Equalizer Spinoff Casts Titus Welliver, Juani Feliz as ‘Mysterious’ Father-Daughter Duo

CBS’ potential spinoff of The Equalizer is beginning to take shape: Titus Welliver (Bosch) and Juani Feliz (Harlem) have been cast in an upcoming episode of Queen Latifah’s hit procedural, Variety reports, with the possibility of both returning if the backdoor pilot is picked up to series.

Welliver’s character, Hudson Reed, is connected to Latifah’s Robin McCall through an old mentor, but there’s more to the “former CIA operative with a dark secret” than meets the eye. Feliz will play his daughter Samantha, who was trained by Hudson in martial arts, weaponry and the ability to blend in like a chameleon — while apparently “hiding a mysterious past.”
