Queen Sugar returns for season five Article by Queen Sugar last week. Produced by ARRAY Filmworks and Harpo Films in association with Warner Bros. Television, Queen Sugar has been lauded for its powerful portrayal of an African-American family in the Deep South and for DuVernay’s continued hiring of women directors. Season five was helmed entirely by three filmmakers, including producing director Lauren Wolkstein, Lisa France and Cierra Glaude. During the production stop-down in 2020 due to COVID-19, DuVernay decided to completely revamp the season five storyline to address the very real issues the country was facing through the lens of the beloved Bordelon family and the fictional community of St. Josephine.
