Jada Pinkett Smith is reuniting with her Girls Trip co-star Queen Latifah in an upcoming episode of The Equalizer.
The CBS TV series is a reboot of the classic 1980s series, and hit movie starring Denzel Washington.
Smith is taking a break from her popular web series Red Table Talk to fill in for actor Chris Noth who was axed from the series following several sex assault allegations.
Smith will star as a character named Jessie Cook, a genius thief with a photographic memory, according to DailyMail.com.
Like Chris Noth’s character, Cook has good chemistry with Queen Latifah’s lesbian character Robin McCall. They both worked together in the CIA.
Smith and Latifah previously starred together in the 2017 hit comedy film Girls Trip alongside Tiffany Haddish and Regina Hall.
In 1996 they co-starred in F. Gary Gray‘s Set It Off with Vivica A. Fox and Kimberly Elise.
Queen Latifah has two projects in post-production, titled Hustle and End of the Road. She will also star in Paper Chase, about a high school senior who figures out how to pay her tuition at a prestigious university when a grant falls through.
Smith is also staying busy producing three upcoming projects titled Straight Talk and a reboot of Uptown Saturday Night. There is also a third untitled project for Netflix.
