Queen of the South 3 Plot
After four years in prison in the United States for the deaths of three DEA agents, Teresa Mendoza escapes but will have to face a world full of conspiracy, risking her life in order to clear her name and reunite with her daughter Sofía.
Queen of the South Synopsis
In case you don’t remember it. The series is based on the novel by Spanish author Arturo Pérez-Reverte and follows Teresa Mendoza (Kate del Castillo), who becomes the most powerful drug trafficker in southern Spain after fleeing from Mexico.
She set-up her operation in Season 1 in 2011, after losing two men that she loved.
When the series began she was in love with a pilot who worked for the Mexican cartels. Baddo mistako but you can’t help who you fall in love with, right?
He was murdered by the cartels and Teresa fled to Spain to avoid the same thing happening to her.
She tried to start a new life but soon became entangled in narcotics in Spain too. After facing more trials and tribulations and the loss of another love, she decided to take the power into her own hands and set up her own organisation with the help of a woman she met in prison.
Season 2 was set eight years after Season 1. Teresa took her profits and escaped to Italy to retire but was forced back into the world of drug trafficking when her daughter Sofia was kidnapped.
And now, in Season 3, she has been in prison for four years – in solitary confinement. Speaking to no-one and isolated after being accused of killing four DEA agents.
She makes a dramatic escape and becomes involved in a new and unexpected alliance, risking her life on a journey across Latin America and attacking the DEA in a way that no one dared to imagine.
Her chances of survival are slim. The decision to fight is absolute. Finally, Teresa can see the goal she longs for: leaving her past behind to clear her name and live a peaceful life with her daughter.
Queen of the South 3 is action packed and exciting.
