Added OWN President Tina Perry, “Ava’s vision for Queen Sugar is one of inspired storytelling, and her execution of that vision has given us a remarkable series that makes us so proud.
The drama has been renewed for a fifth season, just one day after its Season 4 finale.
Queen Sugar centers on three Bordelon siblings — Nova (Rutina Wesley), Charley (Dawn-Lyen Gardner) and Ralph Angel (Kofi Siriboe) — as they fight to save their family farm to preserve their father’s legacy.
Season 5 is expected to air sometime in 2020, with current showrunner Anthony Sparks returning in that role for the next batch of episodes.
