Divorce, Feuds, Cat Fights and Therapy: The Biggest Dramas on the Way In 'The Valley' Season 2

Following The Valley's dramatic Season 1 finale, the spinoff series is set to return.

Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, Jesse Lally, Michelle Lally, Kristen Doute, Jason Caperna, Janet Caperna, Danny Booko, Nia Sanchez and Luke Broderick will appear in Season 2, and Zack Wickham and Jasmine Goode will also join them.

Speaking with Distractify, Andy Cohen revealed what fans can expect when the series returns.

"I see any of them on there", said Andy, referring to how Vanderpump Rules stars could pop up on the series. He revealed: "They all live in the Valley; they all know each other. It all makes sense."

Bravo announced the show's renewal on May 9.

In The Valley Season 1, Brittany and Jax called it quits six months after revealing they were "taking time apart." While filming Season 2, she officially filed for divorce from her estranged husband.

During an August episode of Brittany's podcast, When Reality Hits With Jax and Brittany, she said: "It's taken me many, many years to get to this point where I've gained enough courage to strength to do what was best for me, get myself out of a toxic relationship and ultimately see my worth.

"It's been very difficult, but I'm stronger than ever, and my motivation is my son, my cruisey, who deserves a happy and healthy mommy."

Jax dealt another blow in his life when he entered a 30-day treatment program in July amid his mental health struggles. After wrapping up his stay, he broke his silence for the first time to give an update to his followers.

Taylor said: "It was a very, very scary step for me, but it really needed to happen. It's something I've been holding onto for many, many years.

"I've known for years that there's been something wrong, but I just didn't want to know. During my stay, I found out a lot about myself. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

"When I got there, I f------ hated it. Then I just let myself [take it all in], and then I loved it. I didn't want to f------ leave. I really, really didn't. I was so sad leaving. I was crying. I'm like, 'I don't want to go.' I was scared to leave those front doors because I had structure every day."

Jax cryptically responded to a social media user who called Danny and Nia "the cutest couple" right now, saying: "Will see how this goes."

Following his comment, Danny appeared in an episode of Nia's "Hold My Crown" podcast and seemingly answered his costar's digs.

He said: "One of whom you thought was your closest friends on there, trying to stir stuff up and insinuate things that aren't true. And try to stir the pot, which he thinks is for the show. But it is blatant lies. It's hurtful. And friends don't do that."

Danny and Nia, who share three children, wed in October 2015.

The Valley Season 2 will also surely put a spotlight on Jesse and Michelle's split, which happened two days after they celebrated their 5-year anniversary.

Jesse said of their breakup: "When I watched it back and I see scenes with Michelle saying that she wasn't attracted to me anymore, I didn't see it [then]. Like, I didn't. I didn't feel it, and I actually felt a little blindsided in October [2023] when she said she was leaving."

Meanwhile, Michelle contradicted his statement.

She shared: "He wasn't blindsided because I told him specifically what needed to change.

"It was like he was living a great life, and he had his wife and daughter at home. So yeah, why would he want a divorce when he has the perfect image of the perfect family? Yet he gets to do whatever he wants. Of course, he didn't want to get divorced."

Aside from Andy, showrunner Alex Baskin also commented on a potential Lala Kent and Scheana Shay cameo.

He told The Hollywood Reporter: "I know there's a ton of speculation about [Vanderpump Rules] transfers over to The Valley, but that cast is pretty full right now.

"I would imagine you'll continue to see crossover like you have, but that cast is bursting at the seams. It's not like we're in need of additional cast members."
