Queen Of South Season 4 Recap And Highlights

It’s been a while since we’ve received any news on Season 5 of Queen Of South. After all, Season 4 aired in 2019. We hoped to see it in 2020, but due to the pandemic, production halted. Now, it’s time to look into it and see if we are going to get anything.

Remember! Queen of South is quite a fast-paced show, despite its drama-approach. There are so many things happening that some characters go amiss. So, we will make sure to get you up to speed as we cover everything we know about Season 4 and Season 5. Let’s begin: 

About Queen Of The South 

There’s just something about gangs, mafia, drug trading, and being an outlaw that we are always attracted to these kinds of shows. It gets even better when we have a powerful presence of a female lead, Teresa Mendoza (played by Alica Braga), in the highly-enthralling series, Queen Of The South. 

The Netflix original has been around for years. It seems like Netflix loves bringing us Spanish shows, as Queen Of The South is an adaptation of La Reina Del Sur telenovela and a novel named Arturo Perez-Reverte. 

It shows us the life of Teresa Mendoza and her rise as the Queen of a mafia empire in an epic crime drama series. In Season 4, we see her relocating to New Orleans. There, she’s been under constant bombardments from rival gangs and enemies. One thread after another, we see Teresa making some hard decisions.

Queen Of South Season 5 Release Date

Well, given that season 4 ended in a cliffhanger, there will indeed be a season 5 for the show. It also seems like it will be quite an action packet. Alica Barga once showed us a snap of her injury while performing an action scene. The production was underway in March 2020, but it was postponed to the latter (November). 

It will take some time for Queen Of South Season 5 to come to us. For most of the part, a new season always arrived in the June of each year. However, in 2020, it was postponed due to a pandemic. Correlatively, it seems like Netflix has consistently been revamping and changing the release schedule for the shows. So we could expect it earlier. However, it is improbable. If it doesn’t appear in March 2021, then it will most likely follow June. Maybe instead of new episodes every week, we will receive a complete season in a one-go for a binge, like Netflix always does. 

There has been a teaser trailer of Queen of the South Season 5 revolving around if anyone feels like checking that out.
