I love the way it is slowly showing throughout the first seasons' episodes, how Teresa will become the Queen Of The South!!
Quote:
QUEEN OF THE SOUTH tells the powerful story of Teresa Mendoza (Braga). When her drug-dealing boyfriend is unexpectedly murdered in Mexico, Teresa is forced to go on the run and seek refuge in America, where she teams with an unlikely figure from her past to bring down the leader of the very drug trafficking ring that has her on the run. In the process, she learns the tools of the trade and strategically positions herself to become the leader of the Cartel. QUEEN OF THE SOUTH is executive produced by M.A. Fortin and Joshua John Miller ("The Final Girls"), along with David Friendly (“Little Miss Sunshine,” “Big Mommas House”) and Pancho Mansfield (“Damien”). The pilot is written by Fortin and Miller and directed by Charlotte Sieling. Fox 21 Television Studios developed and produced the pilot and will run lead on the co-production with Universal Cable Productions.
All hail the Queen! USA Network announced today that its hit drama series, Queen of the South, is coming back for a third season.
Executive produced by Natalie Chaidez and David T. Friendly, Queen of the South tells the powerful story of Teresa Mendoza (Alice Braga), a woman who is forced to run from the Mexican cartel and seek refuge in America. While trying to survive, Teresa must learn the rules of the drug trade, opportunistically forming an alliance with Camila Vargas (Veronica Falcon), the estranged wife of her enemy.

Starring Alice Braga (“I Am Legend”) as Teresa, the original drama series is based on the global best-selling novel “La Reina Del Sur,” by internationally-acclaimed author Arturo Pérez-Reverte. The literary page-turner also yielded one of the most popular super series of all time for USA’s sister network, Telemundo.
QUEEN OF THE SOUTH also stars Veronica Falcón (“Besos de Azúcar”) as Camila Vargas, Justina Machado (“Six Feet Under”) as Brenda Parra, Peter Gadiot (“Tut”) as James Valdez, Hemky Madera (“Weeds”) as Pote Galvez and Gerardo Taracena (“Apocalypto”) as Cesar “Batman” Guemes. Guest stars include Joaquim de Almeida (“Our Brand is Crisis”), Jon Ecker (“Narcos”) and James Martinez (“Breaking Bad”).
The drama is executive produced by David T. Friendly (“Little Miss Sunshine,” “Courage Under Fire”), along with M.A. Fortin and Joshua John Miller ("The Final Girls"). Scott Rosenbaum (“Gang Related”) will serve as showrunner. The pilot was written by Fortin and Miller, directed by Charlotte Sieling and executive produced by Pancho Mansfield (“Damien”). Fox 21 Television Studios developed and produced the pilot and will run lead on the co-production with Universal Cable Productions.
Anyone still watching this ? I love this show so much. Really sucks that they are trying to finish it this season when it is clear there was meant to be another season or so to flesh out what is going on.
Yep, ready to wrap it up. Show seems to have lost some steam without Veronica Falcon as her nemesis. It was a decent narco drama. Let's hope they stick the landing.
