Queen Of The South Fans Floored By Season 5 Plot Twist

Warning: Major spoilers for Queen Of The South ahead!

Fans are shook to the core after sitting through the rollercoaster ride that was season five of Queen Of The South.

The final season of the action series dropped on Netflix this month and those who sat down to binge-watch were left speechless when a stunning plot-twist unfolded.

Watch the trailer for the series here:

Viewers thought it was all over for Teresa in the second-to-last episode, when James was forced to shoot her in the stomach in order to save her from a far more brutal death.

After the devastating scene, fans had good reason to believe that Teresa was dead, and the series would conclude without her.

One viewer tweeted: "Teresa died ..whyyyyyy😭 Why he shot her #QueenOfTheSouth"

Another complained: "Nah nah nah why the last episode of #QueenOfTheSouth gotta start like that?! My girl is gone 😢🥺".

While a third wrote: "James!!!!!!!... Surely he didn't really kill her?🤔".

Thankfully, despite her very convincing death - and cremation - James actually, didn't kill Teresa.

In the final moments of the last episode it's revealed that, not only is Teresa alive, but she had teamed up with James to fake her own death.

To deceive Devon (her partner-turned-nemesis) and avoid any jail time that might have awaited her, Teresa worked with her crew to stage her own death before fleeing to Belize, where she had been hiding out.

Reuniting with her old crew, Teresa wraps the series with a monologue, explaining: "If either prison or death were my own options. What do you know? I chose life."

Needless to say fans were floored when they realised Teresa had survived to the season finale after all.

"Omg😭Teresa is alive 😭 The family are in safe together now 😭❤️❤️❤️," tweeted one ecstatic viewer.

A second raved: "#queenofthesouth was something else! That twist at the ending 😵😵."

While a third wrote: "The twist at the final episode of Queen of south is crazy!! Nice series! #QueenOfTheSouth"
