Queen Sugar follows the story of three very different siblings who inherit their family’s sugar cane farm in rural Louisiana. Season five began production in January 2020 and was rewritten during the industry’s six-month COVID shutdown. The season not only included the family’s complex relationships but tackled the murder of George Floyd, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the beginning of the Black Lives Matter movement making for a powerful season of television. Our sets were designed to showcase the unique architectural styles of the story’s setting here in New Orleans.
