Queen Sugar Series Overview
Nova, Charley, and Ralph are three of the five characters in Ava DuVernay’s latest television series, Queen Sugar. Nova is a “sunflower,” who grows from a young girl to an adult woman; whereas Charley is an eldest sister-like figure. The narrative follows the Bordelons, a family of farm workers in rural Louisiana who go through major difficulties after their father’s death. They have a father who abandoned an 800-acre sugarcane farm, which is now in their care.
- Following the success of “I Am Big Bird,” PBS aired the sequel, which follows Nova’s journey in high school when she must deal with issues like body image and self-esteem. Rutina Wesley took on the role of Nova Bordelon, a strong journalist, and activist.
- Dawn-Lyen Gardner played Charley Bordelon, a working wife, and mother who lives in Los Angeles.
- Kofi Siriboe played the part of Ralph Angel Bordelon, a single father coping with unemployment while raising his son alone.
Differences and conflict are evident in each family, which you’ll notice in the series from the beginning.
For example, in the first episode of the series’ debut season, there is a conflict between Charley and Nova over attending to their father’s burial. The two siblings have distinct views on how to commemorate their father. Ralph Angel, on the other hand, is having a quarrel with Aunt Violet about her young son Blue’s attendance at the burial.
This is only one example, but there are several more throughout the fifth season.

The fifth season debuted on February 16, 2021, and concluded with a two-hour series finale on April 20, 2021. In season 5, a lot has changed, but the issues and family melodrama have only gotten more complicated.
The first episode opens with something good, that is, Nova starts a new business and Micah begins a fresh college year.
Wait Wait!! What’s the most interesting thing about Season 5?
When you watch more episodes of Queen Sugar, you’ll see that COVID-19 has been involved in every one of them. The producer of the show has done a good job incorporating the epidemic into season 5 while retaining the narrative as planned.

Wrapping Up
