P-Valley

***P-Valley*** is an American series, self-adapted by playwright Katori Hall from her play “Pussy Valley”. It premiered on Starz on July 12, 2020, and will run for eight consecutive episodes.

On July 27, 2020 Starz announced it has greenlit a second season for its new breakout series "P-Valley" after setting a new record on the STARZ App for most viewed series premiere at 17% above the previous high. The second season will be released on June 3, 2022.

## Synopsis

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.
