Consistently averaging over 1.5 million viewers every week this season, the show remains Wednesday’s top-rated series among African American women on broadcast and cable.  A toast to that ongoing relationship will see ‘Sugar’ continue its laughs, love, and drama in 2020.

Speaking on its continued success, Duvernay stated:

“I’m thrilled to further explore the beauty, pain and triumph of this African-American family, with hopes that their story will continue to resonate with audiences who see themselves in the Bordelons,” DuVernay said today of the renewal of the series led by Dawn-Lyen Gardner, Rutina Wesley and Kofi Siriboe-led. “It’s a real honor to create this work with Warner Horizon and OWN as their support is rock-solid and wonderful,” the When They See Us Emmy nominee added.
