Pilot season at The CW is happening after all. The youth-skewing broadcaster has handed pilot orders to three projects: Ava DuVernay’s superhero drama Naomi, the live-action reboot of The Powerpuff Girls and a millennial nun dramedy exec produced by Jennie Snyder Urman.
Ava Duvernay’s Queen Sugar is returning to OWN next month after its season 4 finale aired in September of 2019. The upcoming season will follow the Bordelon family as they navigate the coronavirus pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, and political corruption in their community.
The notoriously drama-packed series follows the three estranged Bordelon siblings—Nova (Rutina Wesley), Charley (Dawn-Lyen Gardner), and Ralph Angel (Kofi Siriboe)—after they come together to work on their family’s sugarcane farm in Louisiana.
The pickup of ‘Queen Sugar’ comes a month before Ava DuVernay’s drama debuts its fifth season on the Discovery-owned cable network.
Ava DuVernay is officially making her first show at HBO Max.
