‘Queen Sugar’ Creator Ava DuVernay & Showrunner Anthony Sparks On Tonight’s Season 4 Finale, BlackJoy & What’s Next
EP’d series, When They See Us multiple Emmy nominee DuVernay and Sparks chatted with me about tonight’s Queen Sugar. In an overview of the season that has just ended, the two also spoke of the stories with stories they are trying to tell, the growth of Micah West and Blue Bordelon , #blackjoy and how they are trying to do something unlike anything else on TV.
DUVERNAY: As we’ve gone through the four seasons it’s been a juggling act to make sure that this feels relevant, but also has the intimacy of the black family dynamic that so many of us work on it know to be true and want the show to be even more representations of. DUVERNAY: Anthony was perfect. I think his familiarity with the characters as they were built helped us to reach new heights this year – at least that’s what our audience tells us.
SPARKS: What we did with Micah this season, which is something that we had started long ago, and his journey to where he is now, it mirrors the journey of a lot of people have gone through. But often shows don’t have the space and time, or frankly the knowledge or the interest in really sticking with a story like that beyond the spectacular moment you might get in an episode where someone’s pulled over.
