It’s time to say goodbye to ‘Queen Sugar.’

A consistent ratings performer for OWN, the NAACP Image Award-winning show is considered one of the network’s flagship offerings.

Ahead of the premiere of its seventh and final season tonight (September 6), That Grape Juice‘s Shar Jossell sat down with Bianca Lawson and Rutina Wesley, as well as Tina Lifford and Omar Dorsey. The stars collectively opened up about the end of ‘Queen Sugar’ and what viewers can expect from its concluding chapter.
