In sweet news for fans of ‘Queen Sugar,’ OWN has announced that the popular drama has been renewed for a sixth season.
The development is of particular note because the commitment comes before the premiere of the Ava DuVernay show’s hotly anticipated fifth season – which premieres February 16.
Widely praised for its potently layered portrayal of an African-American family in the Deep South, the series follows the complicated lives of the Bordelon clan.
Led by stars Kofi Siriboe, Dawn-Lyen Gardner, Bianca Lawson, and Rutina Wesley, ‘Sugar’ has also found favor for its purposeful use of female directors. Indeed, season five is entirely helmed three filmmakers: producing director Lauren Wolkstein, Lisa France and Cierra Glaude.
