Starz has renewed the popular drama series P Valley for a third season and it is expected to hit the air by late 2023 or early 2024. Fans will rejoice to know that Starz will bring this riveting series back for another chapter after its second season concluded earlier this summer.
The initial two seasons of The Pynk proved immensely popular by immersing viewers into its captivating world – a strip club in Mississippi featuring Brandee Evans as Mercedes Woodbine, Nicco Annan as Uncle Clifford Sayles and J. Alphonse Nicholson as Lil Murda.
What Lies Ahead for Lil’ Murda?
P-Valley’s second season was an eventful one, as we saw its members struggle against COVID lockdown, political (and gang) warfare, personal strife, and all sorts of personal strife – leaving staff members hoping for some relief through dreaming. Meanwhile, Mercedes’ journey towards retirement and life beyond Pynk as well as up-and-coming rapper Lil’ Murda and Uncle Clifford (J. Alphonse Nicholson) were revealed throughout its runtime.
Recurring plot threads should return for season 3, which has already been renewed for 10 episodes by Starz following an explosive premiere that broke records for viewership on their app. Starz announced their pick up on July 27, 2020.
This gritty drama, inspired by Hall’s play Pussy Valley, takes place in the fictional Mississippi town of Chucalissa and follows workers at The Pynk strip club, featuring Brandee Evans as Mercedes, Nicco Annan as non-binary manager Uncle Clifford, and Elarica Johnson as Autumn Night. This show has garnered critical acclaim for its sympathetic depictions of marginalized groups while maintaining thrilling storylines that keep audiences on edge.
Production on this show has been negatively impacted by the ongoing 2023 WGA strike; Hall has revealed that filming won’t resume until both the studio and writers reach an agreement on a fair contract agreement – although, looking ahead, it looks to be worth waiting for!
Will Keyshawn Escape?
Keyshawn appeared to finally break free from her abusive partner Derrick during the season two finale and take an independent musical path away from The Pynk for good. This finale also seemed to open doors for Keyshawn to explore new musical avenues without The Pynk’s influence.
As Uncle Clifford suggests, all are now dreaming new dreams – Mercedes in her retirement and life beyond Pynk; Lil’ Murda and Corbin openly loving one another; Autumn Night leaving Chucalissa behind to start again.
Now, however, it remains uncertain whether this renewed hope will be enough to sustain a third season for the series; production was put on hold due to WGA strikes; however, no news yet regarding whether production can resume once writers reach an agreement with producers and broadcasters.
P Valley left several captivating storylines unresolved during its second season, such as that between Uncle Clifford and Lil’ Murda or Mercedes’ decision to retire from stripping. Starz has already renewed it for another season; therefore the next one may focus on Autumn stealing $40,000 from the club, the aftermath of Corbin’s deal with Big Bone and Big Bawse or Keyshawn attempting to leave with her children; among many other possibilities.
Will Diamond Get Kidnapped?
Season 2 finale of P-Valley left fans hanging with many questions unanswered, leaving many reeling at what may or may not happen next. Luckily, however, P-Valley was renewed for another season and eagerly anticipate what may transpire next.
This season will likely follow Uncle Clifford and Lil’ Murda as they make their love public, Mercedes’ decision to retire from the Pynk affect her relationship with her daughter and Keyshawn’s fallout from child protective services reporting him abusive partner as key storylines.
Regarding the rest of the cast, all the major characters will likely return for season three: Nicco Annan, Elarica Johnson, Brandee Evans, Shannon Thornton, Harriett D. Foy and Skyler Joy will likely reprise their roles; Autumn Night may leave due to her character having decided to leave Chucalissa in season two’s finale.
Katori Hall, the creator of this series, has hinted that bigger celebrities might appear this time around. She recently told EW that Cardi B would make an ideal guest star appearance; though we may need to wait awhile.
Will There Be a Celebrity Appearance?
P Valley’s second season left viewers with many unanswered questions, and its creator Katori Hall has promised that Season 3 will be just as captivating. The series chronicles the lives of various characters at Chucalissa’s Pynk strip club and covers topics like racism, colorism, queerness and sex work; becoming one of Starz’s most-watched programs.
Brandee Evans, Nicco Annan, Shannon Thornton, Harriett D. Foy and Morocco Omari are expected to return for season three; there may also be new faces joining them – like Megan Thee Stallion appearing as a guest star during season two! However, more well-known actors may appear this time around too!
At this time, it remains unknown when the next season will premiere. Filming was scheduled to start in May; however, due to the WGA strike preventing this from occurring and set to end by September, filming likely won’t resume before then.
Fans can still anticipate new episodes of their beloved show in 2023 as it has been renewed for another ten episodes and will return shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, Netflix offers access to previous episodes.
