Starz has given the green light to P-Valley Season 3, which will continue the critically acclaimed drama series created and executive produced by Pulitzer Prize winner Katori Hall.
The second season of P-Valley currently averages nearly 10.3 million viewers across linear, VOD, and streaming platforms domestically, up +23% compared to season one in the same time frame. Season two viewing has catapulted P-Valley to the top spot as Starz’s biggest show.
“‘P-Valley’ continues to keep viewers on the edge of their seats as it captures the nuances of the Mississippi Delta with an unprecedented level of humanity and artistry,” said Kathryn Busby, President of Original Programming, Starz.
“This layered drama gets beyond the glitz through authentic and complex characters that have captured the hearts of critics and audiences alike. We cannot wait to see what Katori has in store for us in season three.”
“I am blessed beyond measure for this opportunity to write the next chapter of ‘P-Valley.’ With its complex, dynamic, and beautifully flawed characters, this show is a love letter to marginalized communities in the American South who rarely see themselves reflected on screen, and it brings me immense joy to know that it has been embraced by folx worldwide,” said Katori Hall.
“We wouldn’t be getting back up on that pony without our fiercely devoted Pynk Posse. Y’all are our fire.”
Hall continued: “And special thanks to the fuel: everyone who laid hands on this show. From the writers and producers to the cast to the crew to the executives, this show is made with great love, grit, and glitter.
“It’s going to take us a Mississippi minute before we’re back on your screens again, but I best believe it’ll be well worth the wait.”
Based on her play Pussy Valley, creator Katori Hall (Pulitzer Prize-winning The Hot Wing King, Olivier Award-winning The Mountaintop, and Broadway’s Tina: The Tina Turner Musical) serves as showrunner and executive producer. Dante Di Loreto also serves as an executive producer on the series. Lionsgate Television produces P-Valley Season 3 for Starz.
P-Valley is an hour-long drama that tells the kaleidoscopic story of a little strip club that could and the big characters who come through its doors – the hopeful, the lost, the broken, the ballers, the beautiful, and the damned.
Set against the rural Mississippi Delta in the fictional town of Chucalissa, the Pynk is an oasis in a rough patch of human existence where beauty can be hard to find at the crossroads of grit and glitter. A story of survival, chosen family, soulmates, politics, love, and death, P-Valley is where trap music meets film noir and dares to ask what happens when small-town folk dream beyond the boundaries of their limited circumstances.
In season two, P-Valley revealed a whole new Pynk as it struggled to remain open during a pandemic, a battle for the throne, and the possibility of some new blood shaking up the locker room. It took audiences deeper into the lives of Pynk’s beloved characters as darkness descended upon Chucalissa.
P-Valley season two stars Nicco Annan (“Uncle Clifford”), Elarica Johnson (“Autumn Night”), Brandee Evans (“Mercedes”), Shannon Thornton (“Miss Mississippi”), J. Alphonse Nicholson (“Lil’ Murda”), Parker Sawyers (“Andre”), and Harriett D. Foy (“Pastor Woodbine”).
The cast also includes Dan J. Johnson (“Corbin”), Morocco Omari (“Big L.”), Dominic DeVore (“Duffy”), and Tyler Lepley (“Diamond”), Jordan M. Cox (“Derrick”), Skyler Joy (“Gidget”), John Clarence Stewart (“Big Teak”).
The cast is rounded out by Miracle Watts (“Big Bone”), Shamika Cotton (“Farrah”), Gail Bean (“Roulette”), Psalms Salazar (“Whisper”), Loretta Devine (“Ernestine”), Thomas Q. Jones (“Mane”), and Bertram Williams, Jr. (“Woddy”).
P-Valley seasons one and two are available on the Starz app, Starz streaming, and on-demand platforms in both the U.S. and Canada. Internationally, P-Valley is available on the Lionsgate+ premium streaming service in key territories across Europe, Latin America, and Japan.
