“To everything, there is a season. And my producing partner Paul Garnes and I have had seven gorgeous seasons making Queen Sugar with a remarkable cast and crew, alongside our partners at OWN and Warner Bros. Television,” DuVernay said in a statement announcing the news Tuesday morning. “To write and produce seven seasons of a modern drama centered on a Black family is a radical act in our industry and a triumph that has far exceeded every hope I held. Now I feel strongly that the story, which began as a sunrise of a suggestion from Oprah, is ready for its sunset as a dream fully realized. Queen Sugar has been one of the true joys of my career and my gratitude is buoyant and boundless.”
The sixth season of Queen Sugar has acquired an average of 636.000 viewers. Compared to the previous season, that was only a drop of 1%.
What an amazing season! We can't wait to see everything next season brings. Thanks for watching #QUEENSUGAR with us, West Coast! pic.twitter.com/RCUKHKRlT3
