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.

Pote, Kelly Anne and James try to disappear, but must fend off attacks from Devon Finch and Boaz.

What do you think? Do you like the Queen of the South TV show? Do you think it should have ended or been renewed for a sixth season?
Please renew Queen of the South. I love this show and the actors. I look forward to Thursday’s just to watch this show. YSA is now one of my favorite networks.
Please, renew the show, i want a season 5. Of course ! All my love from France
Love Queen of the South. Best ever! Actors are all fabulous. It’s great to see a minority woman in charge… please less commercials. Please renew my show! Makes my summer
Please renew as this is an awesome show!
I agree Queen of the south should renewaled. But should have more of the style from earlier season. A little more unexpected twists..
Please renew, this is the best show
Queen of the South is a great show. A woman in charge, love it. The show is exciting and full of action. The story line is never ending,I was so surprised if all the women that love the show. I didn’t realize how much that we all loved it. She worked her but off to get where she is now. She doesn’t take crap, but still is fair. Please keep it going if not,let me know who will pick it up. It’s worth following. Might be your loss,but somebody else will be the winner. Especially the viewers
Absolutely Renew!!!
This is an absolutely riveting show! I hope it continues on for many more seasons.
One of the grearest shows!. It needs more seasons and the remember the rest of the world is also watching it. So ratings don’t mean a thing.
One of the best shows out there. Just because the ratings drop, doesn’t mean that the rest of the world isn’t streaming or how ever they get the show to watch it. It’s very popular in Australia.
I think 3 strikes and you’re out. The plot continues to regurgitate episode after episode. Loved seasons 1 and 2 but season 3 was getting long in the tooth. Let’s arrange for buyers, get into a gunfight, score the kilos and repeat. What more is there to this type of plot.
This is a very good drama with very fine cast. I certainly hope that it can return to finish the story.
I absolutely love this show and hope that it comes back again and again, never being discontinued. Long live Queen of the South…
Definitely continue very good series!! Love it
