Queen Sugar was recently renewed for a fifth season.

Since then, DeMane has directed on For The People ; The Red Line for CBS, How To Get Away With Murder, Station 19 and YOU for Netflix. She was also Producing Director on Self Made: Inspired by Madam CJ Walker which premieres on Netflix on March 20th. She produced the four episode series and directed the last two episodes, including the finale. Most recently she  went back to Shondaland to direct an episode of their final season of How To Get Away With Murder. Her episode airs in April of 2020!
