Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett Smith will share the screen very soon!
The real-life friends will reunite on-screen for an upcoming episode of The Equalizer.
Smith will appear on the CBS procedural as Jessie Cook, a well-known thief with an eye for detail.
She's unpredictable, devious, and amoral, which should make for an exciting episode of the series.
Latifah's character, McCall, has already worked with Jessie, so they go way back.
However, they both butted heads in the past, vowing never to work together again due to their very different beliefs.
Sounds fun, right?
The pair have worked together on several projects in the past, including Set It Off and Girls Trip.
No details have been revealed about when the episode will air, but the series is on hiatus until Sunday, February 27, due to the Olympics.
The Equalizer is a reboot of the classic series, with Latifah taking on the role of an equalizer.

Queen Latifah and Jada Pinkett Smith make a great duo — and the real-life friends and frequent collaborators are joining forces once again, this time on CBS’ The Equalizer.
Smith, who starred alongside Latifah in the blockbuster comedy Girls Trip, also worked with the rapper-turned-actress in the 1996 gangster girl hit Set It Off and the 2008 coming-of-age drama The Secret Life of Bees. (Smith didn’t star in the latter but was an executive producer on the film.)

Girls Trip alums Jada Pinkett Smith and Queen Latifah will reunite in an upcoming episode of CBS’ The Equalizer.
Smith will guest star as Jessie Cook, a savant-level thief with a photographic memory. Though she’s brilliant and the best at what she does, she’s also devious, unpredictable and amoral. Briefly recruited by the CIA for her skills, Jessie and McCall once worked a mission together back in the day, and though the two get along like oil and water, they’re a whole lot of fun to watch.
The casting marks a reunion for Smith and The Equalizer‘s Queen Latifah, who both starred in the 2017 film Girls Trip. The two also appeared together in Set It Off, and Latifah co-starred in The Secret Life of Bees, which Pinkett Smith exec produced.
