Some four years after its second season, P-Valley, produced by Lionsgate Television, is finally returning to STARZ for a third and final season at the end of this year.
The critically acclaimed drama from creator, executive producer, and Pulitzer Prize winner Katori Hall, set in the world of exotic dancers in the Mississippi Delta and adapted from Hall’s stage play, premieres its third season on December 4 on STARZ.
“P-Valley has been embraced by critics and fans for the same reasons it has been brand-defining for STARZ: because of its courageously bold, powerfully provocative, and deeply inclusive storytelling,” said Kathryn Busby, president of original programming for STARZ. “We are endlessly grateful to Katori—and our immensely talented cast and crew—for building the world of Chucalissa and for crafting a cinematic final chapter that is emotionally layered, wildly entertaining, and unapologetically boundary-pushing.”
“Seventeen years into this dance, that time has come,” Hall said in a letter to fans. “I began writing this story back in 2009, from the kitchen table of my little apartment in Hell’s Kitchen, NYC. Inspired by the honest and courageous stories of the 40-plus midnight ballerinas I met during my research, Pussy Valley grew from the page to the stage, before debuting on the screen in 2020 as P-Valley. Adapting my play into three seasons of television over the past decade has been the ride of a lifetime, filled with massive highs and lows that echo the ever-changing TV landscape. The rarest honor a showrunner can have in today’s industry is to end a series on her own terms. This is why I chose to say goodbye with grace, grit, and glitter, lowering the curtain on P-Valley at season three with a farewell y’all truly deserve. Together, as a framily, we will celebrate this journey, hopefully having been changed by the experience of being in community together. P-Valley is my rumination on “The American Dream”, a visual novel of 27 chapters that chronicles the lives and times of the majestic and the marginalized—a love letter to those of us in the trenches. I am forever indebted to my amazing writers, cast, and crew who moved mountains to bring this story of the little-strip-club that-could to the world.”
