Queen Sugar is created by Ava DuVernay and based on the novel by Natalie Baszile. The show centers on the lives of three siblings in rural Louisiana dealing with the sudden death of their father. Throughout the series, they struggle to decide what to do with his 800-acre sugarcane farm, often touching on themes of racial profiling, inequities in the criminal justice system, and the generational impact of chattel slavery in America. The series stars Rutina Wesley, Dawn-Lyen Gardner, and Kofi Siriboe as the siblings. Read on for more on how to watch Queen Sugar.

Past Seasons are on Hulu
While Hulu Live TV doesn’t carry OWN in its channel lineup, it does have every episode from the past 4 seasons of Queen Sugar on-demand through Hulu’s streaming library. Hulu offers a 30-day free trial to their streaming library, which is plenty of time to catch up on every episode of Queen Sugar.
There are two options when signing up for Hulu’s on-demand streaming library. They are:
- Hulu with commercials ($7.99): This is the least expensive plan Hulu offers. It provides access to the entire Hulu library, the on-demand Hulu feature providing various TV shows on network, cable, and all the Hulu Originals. And it’s got commercials throughout the shows. This plan also allows subscribers to receive 1-year of Hulu for the price of 10 months ($59.99) by switching to annual billing.
- Hulu – commercial-free ($17.99): For another $6 per month, you get all those movies and TV shows without commercials. (Due to network arrangements Grey’s Anatomy, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and How To Get Away With Murder will always have commercials)
Hulu is supported on Roku, Fire TV Devices, Apple TV, Chromecast, Xbox One, iOS, Android, and more. See our review of Hulu for more details and information on this streaming service.
