What’s Queen Latifah saying about her time on the show?
She’s pouring her heart out, and it’s got that real, raw vibe we all crave.
The 55-year-old star dropped an Instagram post on Friday, May 2, right after CBS pulled the plug on the series post-season 5.
In it, she shared a fierce pic of her character Robyn McCall with a gun, captioning it like she’s talking straight to fans.
How did the show exceed her wildest dreams?
Stepping into Robyn’s shoes was a total thrill, way beyond what she imagined, and that’s saying something from someone who’s owned the screen for years.
She shouted out her producing partner Shakim Compere, crediting the team for turning it into a hit that ran five seasons strong—feels almost unreal, she said.
It’s those behind-the-scenes vibes that made every episode pop with energy and edge.
Who’s she thanking in all this?
Big ups to the cast, crew, producers, and writers for making magic happen, but let’s not forget the fans—they’re the real MVPs here.
Latifah called them loyal, loud, and ride-or-die, the kind of supporters who kept the show alive through thick and thin.
Without their buzz, who knows if it would have lasted this long; it’s a reminder that TV’s all about that connection.
What’s next after the cancellation?
CBS dropped the news just days before the May 4 finale, and ratings had slipped from 7.89 million to around 6 million viewers—ouch, that later time slot hit hard.
It’s joining the likes of S.W.A.T. and other CBS favorites in the cancel pile, which stings a bit.
Still, the cast built this tight family bond, like Lorraine Toussaint gushed to PEOPLE, calling it a real-deal crew with love for each other.
Will we see her back on screen soon?
Don’t fret, she’s not vanishing anytime soon—Queen promised she’d be back, kicking ass in fresh projects before we know it.
That tease about sharing something new keeps the excitement bubbling.
After all, a star like her doesn’t stay idle for long; it’s what makes her story so compelling.
