Fans wondering will Queen Sugar Season 7 Return?
In November 2021, near the end of season six, OWN announced that Queen Sugar would return for a seventh—and final—season in 2022. Since its premiere, the series has been praised for its rich character depiction and for dealing with relevant issues, ranging from racism towards the Covid-19 pandemic (and their intersection). Similarly, Queen Sugar made headlines for its cadre of all-female directors, many of whom has managed to launch their directing careers thanks to the show.
Creator Ava DuVernay reflected on the series’ ending in an official statement. “For everything, there is a season. my production partner Paul Garnes and I have made seven wonderful seasons of Sugar Queen together with an amazing cast and crew, alongside our partners at OWN and Warner Bros. Television,” shared DuVernay. “Writing and producing seven seasons of a modern drama centered on a black family was a radical act in our industry and a victory that exceeded every expectation I had. Now I have a strong feeling that the story, which began as Oprah’s suggestion, is poised as a fully realized dream. Queen Sugar has been one of the true joys of my career, and my gratitude is immense and boundless.”
As DuVernay puts it, the drama begins through her conversation with Oprah. After the news broke, Oprah strengthened her support for the show. “I really love this show. Thank you all for expressing that love by watching,” he wrote on Twitter.
