Dorsey, Ethan Hutchison, Bianca Lawson, and Tammy Townsend with Paula Jai Parker, Marquis Rodriguez, McKinley Freeman, and Erika Ashley recurring. Based on the Natalie Baszile novel, the story unfolds in the fictional Louisiana town of Saint Josephine.

Season six finds the Bordelon family reclaiming their lives coming out of the pandemic. As Ralph Angel (Siriboe) and Darla (Lawson) plan the arrival of their new baby, Nova (Wesley) continues to speak out against political corruption, and Charley (Gardner) faces a life-altering decision.

Season Six Ratings
The sixth season of Queen Sugar averaged a 0.10 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 638,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (includes all DVR playback through 3:00 AM). Compared to season five, that’s down by 6% in the demo and down by 1% in viewership. While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but the higher-rated series are usually renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how Queen Sugar stacks up against other OWN TV shows.
Queen Sugar has been renewed for a seventh (final) season which will debut on September 6, 2022. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will OWN cancel or renew Queen Sugar for season seven? The show has been on the air since 2016 so I suspect that we’re getting close to the end of the series but I don’t think season six will be the last year.
