‘Queen Sugar’ Returns Tomorrow
The new Season of “Queen Sugar” will Premiere at 8 p.m. ET/PT on OWN, Tomorrow February 16th.
The series has already been renewed through Season 6.
Production on the fifth season of the show—which Oprah also executive produces—was delayed for 10 months before starting back up again in October of 2020.

At the same time, Nova launches her new website to support the community all while moving out of the Ninth Ward to focus on her new relationship with boyfriend Calvin. Meanwhile, Ralph Angel has to learn how to balance both fatherhood to young son Blue and his relationship with girlfriend Darla amidst serious threats to his land and home.
Queen Sugar stars Dawn-Lyen Gardner, Rutina Wesley, Nicholas Ashe, Kofi Siriboe, Tina Lifford, Omar J. Dorsey, Bianca Lawson, and Ethan Hutchison.
Season 5 was helmed entirely by three women filmmakers, including producing director Lauren Wolkstein, as well as Lisa France and Cierra Glaude.
