The story of Teresa Mendoza (Alice Braga) continues on Queen of the South Season 4, along with new cast members, promoted co-showrunners and executive producers. Longmire alum Bailey Chase and Scooter star David Andrews will join the series to play major roles as Teresa's friend and foe.
Chase will play the role of Eddie Bucks on Queen of the South Season 4. He is a musician who is trying his best to overcome his demons when he crosses paths with Teresa, per Deadline.
Before coming to Queen of the South Season 4, Chase is known for his roles as Branch Connally on Longmire, Butch Ada on Saving Grace, and Thomas Locke on 24: Legacy. He is currently seen on Netflix's Walk. Ride. Rodeo as Cory Snyder.
Andrews, on the other hand, will play as Judge Cecil Lafayette on Queen of the South Season 4. He is a member of one of the older blue blood families in Louisiana that will be one of Teresa's most dangerous enemies.
Andrews has done a lot of television and movie roles before Queen of the South Season 4. He is best known as Sam Vincent from Shooter, and also seen on Murder in the First, The Whispers, House of Cards, Justified, Scandal, Terminator 3, and World War Z, among others.
Based on Arturo Pérez-Reverte's best-selling book La Reina Del Sur, Queen of the South tells the story of Teresa, who went to America after escaping from the Mexican cartel. In Queen of the South Season 4, Teresa will expand to the East Coast by taking on the Big Easy. However, she will be welcomed by new enemies, while family trust will be broken. From here, she will be forced to make difficult decisions that will affect her wellbeing.
Aside from new cast members, Dailyn Rodriguez and Ben Lobato have been promoted as Queen of the South Season 4 co-showrunners and executive producers. According to Variety, Rodriguez previously served as co-executive producer and was part of the writing staff since Season 2. Alternatively, Lobato was a supervising producer and worked in the writers' room since Season 1. The two replaced Natalie Chaidez.
"After 2 incredible years working with USA Network at the helm of Queen of the South, I'm moving on to develop my own projects full-time with my friends at Fox and Fox 21 Television Studios," Chaidez said. "I will miss the 'QOTS' familia and fans, but I am proud to pass along the baton and champion the growth of co-showrunners Dailyn Rodriguez and Ben Lobato."
USA Network has yet to announce Queen of the South Season 4's release date, but it is expected to be out this year. As the previous seasons were all released in June, it might follow the same timeline.
