Queen Of The South Season 5

Season 5 of Queen of the South was announced by USA in August 2019, right at the end of season 4. Traditionally, each season of the show has premiered in June and concluded in late August or early September. While the renewal announcement set season 5 up to follow that same trajectory, things haven't exactly gone to plan.

According to Newsweek, season 5 began filming in early March 2020, with plans to begin airing in June. However, as with most other film and TV shoots this spring, production for the next season of Queen of the South was put on indefinite hiatus a few weeks after it began production. Thankfully, the cast and crew were able to head back into production in November 2020, preserving the possibility of a premiere sometime in the first half of 2021. According to Express UK, star Alice Braga was injured during one of these fall shoots. Braga shared a snap of the resulting wrap on her hand with a cheeky message about an action-packed season 5, so it doesn't sound like the damage was too serious. Hopefully Braga is well, and the series avoids any more delays.

Newsweek previously reported a fan rumor that season 5 of the show will premiere in March 2021, but this now seems like an awfully quick turnaround if production only resumed in November. At the moment, there's no telling exactly when season 5 of Queen of the South will premiere, but based on what we know, we're guessing it will drop sometime in early 2021.
