After a thrilling Season 5, the Queen of the South finale lands on USA tonight. While that may seem like means to celebrate, enjoy this episode — it’ll be the last of Queen of the South. The crime drama is set to end after Season 5, concluding with tonight’s episode. It took nearly two years for this new season to release on the network, and Netflix users are still waiting for the new season to drop on the platform.

Queen of the South, which is based on the novel La Reina del Sur by Arturo Pérez, stars Alice Braga as Teresa Mendoza, a poor woman from Mexico who works her way to the top of a drug empire thanks to her boyfriend. She grows wealthy thanks to her massive drug empire, with drama and terrifying drug lords promising to get in the way of her stronghold on the cartels. She’ll need to overcome the blood, sweat, and tears that haunt her from her young life if she wants to keep hold of her power.
