‘P-Valley’ Inspired Docuseries on Southern Strip Club Culture in the Works at Starz

Starz has greenlit a new documentary series inspired by the network’s hit drama P-Valley.

The six-episode series titled Down in the Valley will take audiences to strip clubs, intimate workshops and rap performances, Starz announced Friday.

Nicco Annan, who plays “Uncle Clifford” on P-Valley will host and executive produce the project alongside P-Valley creator Katori Hall.

“I can’t wait for y’all to get a taste of this fiercely unpredictable, deep-dive dance into Southern culture. It’s a black mirror of sorts,” Annan said in a statement.

“Going through the experience of watching Down in the Valley, the audience will immerse and connect with culture beyond the narrow lens of their everyday neighborhoods, and see through a mirrored reflection the forgotten Black American South like never before.”

According to the official description, the half-hour episodes will “pull back the curtain on the surprising but always intriguing people and places that make the Deep South a place where anything can happen and usually does.”

The network touts Down in the Valley as a “natural companion” to P-Valley.

“Viewers will be captivated by the parallels drawn between the real-life experiences of Southern communities and the compelling narratives Katori shares in P-Valley,”  said Kathryn Busby, president of original programming at Starz.

Set against the rural Mississippi Delta in the fictional town of Chucalissa, P-Valley tells the story of The Pynk strip club and the characters who come through its doors.

The series premiered in July 2020, and has been renewed for a third season, which is delayed because of the Hollywood strikes.

Companion project Down in the Valley is produced by Zero Point Zero for Starz.

Premiere dates for the docuseries and season 3 of P-Valley will be announced later.
