The season four finale saw the tragic death of Teresa's godson Tony Parra in an explosion, so actor Julian Silva will not be returning. Going forward, the final season will of course see Alice Braga back as Teresa, with Hemky Madera also returning, having portrayed Pote Galvez since the show began.
Actress Molly Burnett, who plays Pote's girlfriend Kelly Anne Van Awken has been promoted from her recurring role to series regular.
Peter Gadiot reprises his role as James Valdez - mentor, friend and lover to Teresa. Alimi Ballard, who joined Queen of the South as street gang leader and jazz club owner Marcel Dumas in its penultimate season, also features once again in season five.
