Also returning for season 2 is free-spirited Aunt Vi, played by Tina Lifford (Parenthood), her younger boyfriend Hollywood (Omar J. Dorsey), family friend Remy (Dondre T. Whitfield, Mistresses), Charley’s teenage son Micah (Nicholas L. Ashe); Ralph Angel’s son Blue (Ethan Hutchison), and his mother Darla (Bianca Larson).

Once again, this season of Queen Sugar is being helmed by a slate of female filmmakers including returning director Kat Candler (Hellion), Cheryl Dunye (Stranger Inside), DeMane Davis (Lift), Aurora Guerrero (Mosquita y Mari), and Amanda Marsalis (Echo Park). DuVernay will direct the final episode of season 2.
