TV show description:
This dramatic TV series is based on the Spanish-language telenovela and the novel La Reina Del Sur by Arturo Pérez-Reverte. It revolves around a woman who is forced to run and seek refuge in America from a powerful drug cartel.
Teresa Mendoza (Alice Braga) is a poor young woman from the “barrio” of Jalisco, Mexico. She found a way to rise above her hopeless conditions. She falls in love with a successful member of a drug cartel, Guero. After he is murdered, she must go on the run and she begins her journey that will lead her to become the powerful and wealthy Queen of the South.
A wealthy and dashing man, Don Epifanio (Joaquim de Almeida) seems like the consummate Mexican politician but beneath his smooth veneer is the heart of a determined and ambitious man. A father figure to Guero and Teresa, Guero misreads his benevolence. Teresa realizes she is in danger after his death so she flees to Texas and lands in the operation of Epifanio’s wife, Camila.
Camila Vargas (Veronica Falcón) is building a drug cartel to compete with her husband’s. She would love nothing more than to ruin Epifanio’s duplicitous game. Camila eventually sees that Teresa’s drive, fearlessness and intelligence make her a valuable player on her team — as long as she can keep her protégé from being captured or killed by her husband.
James Valdez (Peter Gadiot) works as a drug-runner for Camila’s cartel and has steadily climbed his way up to be her first lieutenant. He takes an interest in Teresa and warns her exactly what it means to get involved in Camila’s ruthless world.
Brenda Parra (Justina Machado) and her husband Chino befriended Teresa when she started dating Guero. When Guero goes down for scamming the cartel, so does Chino. As a result, Brenda and their young son Tony make a run for it with Teresa. Strong-willed and independent, it doesn’t take long for Brenda to set up her own business network.
Cesar “Batman” Guemes is Epifano’s right-hand man. He’s known as “Batman” because of his jug ears. Jovial, smooth-talking, and ruthless, Batman is on the hunt for Teresa. When Camila approaches Batman with a lucrative offer, he finds himself questioning his loyalties to Epifanio.

This show is SOOOO much. Ive been watching since episode 1. Yes we definitely need a season 4, especially after such an amazing and nail biting s3. Don’t disappoint USA Network.
This show can’t be cancelled! It’s so powerful with the storyline and a great cast.
It has action, tension, excitement and drama that drags you right into it.
The story isn’t over and we, the loyal fans, deserve to get more of Queen of the South.
I truly hope that we will get a season 4!
Thanks
Please renew this show for season 4
The Queen of the South is one of the most well written shows on the network. The quality of the actors across the board puts it in a class all its own. It’s subject matter is intriguing and complex with a cast that has perfected their art. It should definitely be continued as so much of what is offered in the networks is sublime and uninteresting.
Please RENEW this show! I’m begging!!!!
Love this show because it is always full of surprises. Gives us a small insight into another culture. Strong women not afraid to complete with men in the drug trade and the loyalty of the men they command.
PLEASE RENEW THIS SHOW. IT IS FANTASTIC AND SO EXCITING!
Excellent program Queen of the South holds your attention. Action, excitement, and uncertainly all qualities to make a successful series. The ratings show that the following has increased from day one. Do not mess with a sure & successful program. Renew the series you will not regret your decision.
