What Violet Searches for in Queen Sugar Season 2

When Season 1 of Queen Sugar came to a close, Violet Bordelon was adrift. She lost her brother, Ernest; weathered a rocky patch with her lover, Hollywood; and wrestled with bad management practices at the diner she works at, High Yellow.

In Season 2, Violet goes on a great journey, says Tina Lifford, the gifted actress who plays her. Here, in this season preview, Tina hints at where the journey might take Violet—and explains why seeing a vivacious woman in her 60s on TV is so important.

Tune in for the two-night season premiere June 20 and 21.
