Is Queen Of The South Season 6 Canceled By USA Network?
Accoridng to Deadline, Queen of the South Season 6 officially canceled by USA Network. USA Network announced in August, just a few months after the show’s fifth season started.
Queen of the South was cancelled in March 2021, a month before the fifth and final season aired. This is bad news for people just now learning about the show. After 62 episodes, the last one ran on USA Network on June 9, 2021.
Queen of the South’s sixth season was dropped because NBCUniversal was cutting back on scripted shows made just for USA Network. The company plans to put most of its written projects on Peacock and move its reality shows to the United States.
20th Century Fox Television and Universal Content Productions, part of NBCUniversal, made the show. But since Disney changed 20th Television, Queen of the South is no longer under that company’s control.
Why Has Queen Of The South Been Canceled?
USA said in March 2021, a month before the new episodes started airing, that Season 5 would be the last.
At the time, Frances Berwick, the chairperson of Entertainment Networks, which owns USA, said, “Queen of the South has captivated us for five excellent seasons with its incredible stories and bold, strong characters.
“This series broke boundaries for the genre, and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with this incredible team of creators, cast and crew along with our studio partners at 20th Television and UCP. As we close this final chapter, we look forward to a great season culminating in a finale that will give our fans the ending they deserve.”
The show was a hit in the USA and was still the most-watched original drama on the network when canceled.
Dailyn Rodriguez, a co-showrunner, talked to Deadline about the chance to give the show a clear finish. She told him
“We could not be prouder of our entire cast and crew that joined us on this magnificent journey. Queen of the South began shooting in Mexico City, brought us to faraway places like Malta and Colombia and finally landed in New Orleans. We cannot wait to share the explosive final season with our devoted fans. And, of course, we could not have made this show without the talented and tireless Alice Braga, who brought our queen to life.”
What Happened In The Queen Of The South Seasons 1 To 5?
The main character of the show is Teresa Mendoza. She is unique and has made it through a lot. She used to be a money changer in Sinaloa. Still, she rose to power and started and grew her drug gang, which now controls all transport and sales of cocaine in Arizona and has branches in Florida, Louisiana, New York City, Georgia, and Europe. Fans want to see her in Queen of the South season 6 because of her.
The slow burn between Teresa and James is the best slow burn on modern TV. Teresa works for him, and he teaches her the hard truths of the business world.
In season 2, Teresa Mendoza tries to get Camila Varga to like her so she can prove herself. Camila has enough to do to keep her drug gang going while her husband tries to shut it down and get her back home. Teresa has to leave Mexico because of the drug gang and ends up in the United States. Now that she is on her own and has to start from scratch, she has to build a kingdom.
In season 3, she starts a business in Phoenix and Arizona. This gives her more power over the supply route from Colombia, Central America, and the United States. In the process, she got rid of some of her competitors.
In Season 4, Daily Rodriguez and Ben Lobato took over as showrunners for Queen of the South. They were made executive producers and showrunners, taking over for Natalie Chaidez, who left for better things. This season, Teresa comes closer to the Throne by taking control of a smuggling operation from Sinaloa to Phoenix, Miami, and New Orleans; later, she expands her organization into New York City and deals with Russian mafias.
Teresa has always stayed out of problems in the first two seasons. She’s still gunning for Toña and Salazar, but she doesn’t care about their feelings compared to hers.
