Tune in to OWN tonight to catch the premiere of Queen Sugar, starring Greg Vaughan (ex-Eric Brady, Days of our Lives; ex-Lucky Spencer, General Hospital), True O'Brien (ex-Paige Larson, DAYS), and All My Children alum Dondr T. Whitfield (ex-Terence Frye).

If drama is what you want, drama is what you'll get during tonight's debut of OWN's new series Queen Sugar, which stars soap alums Greg Vaughan (ex-Eric Brady, Days of our Lives; ex-Lucky Spencer, General Hospital; ex-Diego Guttierrez, The Young and the Restless), True O'Brien (ex-Paige Larson, DAYS), and Dondr T. Whitfield (ex-Terrence Frye, All My Children).
