First Details for Season 3 of Queen Sugar Revealed

We finally have the first details for Season 3 of OWN’s Queen Sugar.

According to Deadline, Season 3 will boast an all-female crew, a new showrunner and will have a two-night premiere. Queen Sugar is based on the book by Natalie Baszile. The series follows the complicated lives and loves of three estranged siblings in Saint Josephine, Louisiana.

Kat Candler will replace Ana DuVernay as the showrunner for Season 3. Ana DuVernay will now serve as Executive Producer, along with Oprah Winfrey and Kat Candler.

In Season 3, the Bordelons find themselves continuing their fight to save their family farm and father’s legacy as they navigate their own personal journeys. They soon find that their fight extends beyond their close-knit family, but also to the community. Charley (Dawn-Lyen Gardner) remains in the thick of the trials and tribulations in both her personal and professional life as she continues to battle the Landry family while also trying to ensure Micah’s safety and future. Ralph Angel (Kofi Siriboe) is still reeling from learning from Darla (Bianca Lawson) that he might not be the biological father of his son, Blue (Ethan Hutchison), and attempts to push forward as the new cane season begins. A new and unexpected love in the form of an old friend comes into Nova’s (Rutina Wesley) life and challenges her long-held notions of relationships while also offering her something she didn’t think she could ever have.

Queen Sugar premieres on May 29th & 30th at 10 pm each night on OWN
