The 2-night midseason premiere of the hit series “Queen Sugar” will air beginning October 3 & 4 and OWN has released a sneak peek of what’s to come.
I recently caught up with one of the show’s leading men—Timon Kyle Durrett—during the BronzeLens Women Superstars Luncheon. He opened up about about shooting the scene where his character, Davis West, talks to his son, Micah (played by Nicholas L. Ashe) about what really happened to him the night he was arrested by a White male police officer. It was a very emotional moment between an African American father and son and one that Durrett says was very “authentic.”
Durrett also credits the show’s all-female directors and producers as the real magic of the series. “The balance of there being an all-woman directorial team. I think that the details that are being shown are because of the artistic eye that these women bring. A lot of television, up until now, has been male driven. I’m a man’s man but when I am in rehearsals and in talks with these female producers and directors and actresses, I get to see things through a different lens and not just mine,” said Kyle Durrett.
Check out the new trailer below and mark your calendars:
