Will There Be a Season 4 of La Reina del Sur?

La Reina del Sur, Telemundo’s popular Spanish telenovela, has captivated audiences with its dramatic twists and turns over the years. Despite having aired its latest season this past January, the show remains a top choice on Netflix and is regularly featured in the Top 10 in numerous countries. Fans of the series, which is based on the novel of the same name by renowned Spanish author Arturo Pérez-Reverte, are eagerly awaiting news of a potential La Reina del Sur season 4. With its massive budget of over $10 million, the show made a significant impact upon its debut in 2011 and even spawned an American spinoff called Queen of the South, starring Alice Braga. Here’s what we know about the likelihood of a fourth season on Telemundo.

Is La Reina del Sur Season 4 Happening?

As La Reina del Sur is not a Netflix Original, the streaming service does not hold the power to determine the fate of the show. Unless a deal is made for Netflix to take over production, similar to the cases of Longmire, Manifest, Lucifer, and others, the decision rests elsewhere. However, such an agreement appears improbable in this instance.

Regrettably, it seems that the time has come for fans to bid farewell to Teresa Mendoza. Following the third season’s premiere on Netflix in February, following its initial release on Telemundo in October 2022, El Comercio reported that lead actress Kate del Castillo visited the talk show La Mesa Caliente and expressed her belief that the third season served as an excellent conclusion to the show.

Here’s her quote, courtesy of El Comercio (translated from Spanish):

“I think the third is the last and how it should be (we must) say goodbye to Teresita, so enjoy it,” said the actress.

Fortunately, La Reina del Sur season 3 has thoughtfully wrapped up the primary storylines, so viewers can breathe a sigh of relief and avoid being left in suspense with a frustratingly unresolved cliffhanger. For those seeking similar shows, there are a plethora of options available on Netflix, such as Queen of the South, the American adaptation of the Telemundo series, which currently has all five seasons available for streaming. Other programs that may pique your interest include Ingobernable, Narcos, Narcos: Mexico, and The Day I Met El Chapo. Furthermore, Sofia Vergara is set to star in a limited series titled Griselda, which will chronicle the life of Griselda Blanco, the notorious cartel creator.

For now, there isn’t any new La Reina del Sur on the horizon, but stay tuned to AsumeTech for any details or updates that might come to light regarding the telenovela.
