The &#8220;<em>Queen Sugar<\/em>&#8221; season six directorial line-up includes: Bertha Bay-Sa Pan, Carmen Marr\u00f3n, Cierra Glaude, Keisha Rae Witherspoon, Marie Jamora, Shari L. Carpenter, Shaz Bennett, and Stephanie Turner, with Lisa France upped to serve as producing director. This upcoming season marks 42 female filmmakers the series has hired since 2016, 39 of whom are first-time television directors.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Queen Sugar<\/em>&#8221; was recognized by the Television Academy Honors for its powerful portrayal of an African-American family in the Deep South that sheds light on complex issues and challenges facing our society. This year, Emmy Magazine featured the series as the cover of the March 19 issue, and the African-American Film Critics Association (AAFCA) honored the series with the 2021 Impact Award for tackling the COVID crisis in the Black community, proving how television can be both compelling while also serving the greater public good, along with awarding the series with both Best TV Drama (for the fourth consecutive year) and Best Writing. Additionally, the series has been awarded the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Drama Series and nominated as Television Show of the Year by the American Black Film Festival (ABFF). During its most recent season, &#8220;<em>Queen Sugar<\/em>&#8221; ranked #1 in its Tuesday 8-9PM time period across broadcast and cable with African-American W25-54, W18+, Households, and total viewers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Queen Sugar<\/em>&#8221; is produced for OWN by ARRAY Filmworks and Harpo Films in association with Warner Bros. Television. The season six executive producers are Ava DuVernay, Oprah Winfrey, Paul Garnes, and Anthony Sparks. The series is based on the book by Natalie Baszile.<\/p>\n<p>The first four seasons of &#8220;<em>Queen Sugar<\/em>&#8221; are available to stream exclusively on Hulu.<\/p><div id=\"morty-3463708118\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>About &#8220;<em>Queen Sugar<\/em>&#8221; Season Six<\/p>\n<p>From award-winning filmmaker Ava DuVernay (&#8220;<em>When They See Us<\/em>&#8220;), the contemporary drama &#8220;<em>Queen Sugar<\/em>&#8221; returns as newlyweds Ralph Angel (Kofi Siriboe) and Darla (Bianca Lawson) prepare to welcome a new baby while struggling to make financial ends meet.
