If drama is what you want, drama is what you'll get during tonight's debut of OWN's new series Queen Sugar, which stars soap alums Greg Vaughan (ex-Eric Brady, Days of our Lives; ex-Lucky Spencer, General Hospital; ex-Diego Guttierrez, The Young and the Restless), True O'Brien (ex-Paige Larson, DAYS), and Dondré T. Whitfield (ex-Terrence Frye, All My Children).
The series, which begins a commercial-free part one of its two-part season premiere tonight on the Oprah Winfrey network at 10PM EST, follows the lives of adult siblings Nova Bordelon (True Blood's Rutina Wesley), a tough-as-nails journalist and activist from New Orleans, and Charley Bordelon (Dawn-Lyen Gardner), a mother who uproots her life in California and brings her teen son, Micah, to Louisiana to claim a sugar cane farm from the sisters' recently departed father.
"Honored to be working with the legendary @Oprah," O'Brien tweeted along with a photo of her and the series' producer. "Thank you for telling and sharing so many important stories."
