“The show understands the dreams and challenges of its captivating characters the way an exotic dancer knows the physics of her own body. And when it takes the stage and gets in the zone, it positively flies.” – The New York Times
“P-Valley is an unadulterated, unfiltered work that pours light into a specific slice of the Black experience – one that, from the outset, may not seem particularly artful or elegant – and turns it into an achingly beautiful song.” – TV Guide

We know Katori has a lot of incredible stories to tell and a lot in store for these women in a second season.”

About P-Valley TV Show
"P-Valley" project takes an unapologetic look at the lives of strip club dancers working down in the Dirty Delta, while "Hightown" touches on the current opioid epidemic sweeping the U.S.
Originally picked up for development in 2016, "P-Valley" is executive produced by Chernin Entertainment, stars Brandee Evans ("The Bobby Brown Story") as Mercedes and Nicco Annan ("This is Us") as Uncle Clifford. Shannon Thornton ("Power") and J. Alphonse Nicholson ("Chicago P.D.") join as series regulars.
Creator and showrunner Katori Hall (The Mountaintop, Tina: The Tina Turner Musical) will executive produce with Chernin Entertainment. Khaliah Neal (3 1/2 Minutes 10 Bullets, The Last Black Man In San Francisco) will serve as consulting producer and Patrik-Ian Polk ("Being Mary Jane," "Noah's Arc") will act as co-executive producer. Award-winning music video director Karena Evans (Drake: Nice for What, SZA: Garden) will direct the premiere episode.
Down deep in the Mississippi Delta lies an oasis of grit and glitter in a rough patch of human existence where beauty can be hard to find. This southern-fried, hour-long drama 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. Trap music meets film noir in this lyrical and atmospheric series that dares to ask what happens when small-town folk dream beyond the boundaries of the Piggly Wiggly and the pawnshop.
