Bravo’s “The Valley” is gearing up for a seismic second season. Following a debut season that ended with two explosive divorces (Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright, Jesse and Michelle Lally), the San Fernando Valley crew is back with fractured friendships, shocking rumors, and life-altering milestones. Here’s everything you need to know about the cast, plot twists, and drama heating up this spring.
‘The Valley’ Cast Updates: Returning Stars and New Faces
The season 2 trailer of “The Valley” promises an emotional and drama-filled rollercoaster that shouldn’t be missed. It has all the raw personal struggles plus the signature Bravo chaos that fans crave — with the entire season 1 cast coming back for more.
Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, Kristen Doute, Luke Broderick, Danny and Nia Booko, Jason and Janet Caperna, Jesse Lally, Michelle Saniei Lally, Jasmine Goode, and Zack Wickham are all back for round 2.
Joining them are significant others making their mark: Jasmine’s partner Melissa Carelli, Michelle’s new beau Aaron Nosler, and Zack’s boyfriend Benji Quach.
“Vanderpump Rules” alums Lala Kent, Tom Schwartz, Scheana Shay, and Brock Davies also pop in, choosing sides in the escalating Valley feuds. Kent, for one, doesn’t hold back, telling Jesse, “You’re mean to my friend, I think you’re toxic, I think you’re a narcissist and I’m happy I don’t have to deal with you.”
Divorces, Engagements, and Emotional Crossroads
Season 2 of “The Valley” picks up where the chaos left off last season, diving into Taylor and Cartwright’s messy split according to NBC, the parent company of Bravo. Taylor, who is grappling with a decade-long relationship and marriage unraveling, checks into a mental health facility to address his anger.
Meanwhile, Cartwright is navigating single motherhood and self-discovery — while covering security cameras and alleging that her ex “has people watching me.” The other divorce in the group is also far from amicable. The Lallys split is turning ugly amid infidelity claims.
Doute and Broderick’s romance is taking a huge leap forward with a marriage proposal in Hawaii, but a tearful plea for support from Broderick hints that there could be trouble in paradise.
The Bookos face strain and threats to their picture perfect image as they juggle three kids under three, plus a fourth baby on the way. While the Capernas, new parents to baby Cameron, stir the pot with confrontations.
‘The Valley’ Season 2 Is Shaping up to Be a Wild Ride
The rumor mill surrounding “The Valley” season 2 is running rampant, driving tension sky-high. In the trailer, Jesse tells Broderick that he has evidence his soon-to-be ex-wife is “sleeping with a billionaire for $1,500 a night.” This prompts a water-throwing showdown, with Michelle firing back, “I’m the mother of your (expletive) child.”
Fans also see Doute accuse Broderick of ditching his wedding ring on nights out, while Janet spreads word of Danny’s “inappropriate” behavior, sending Nia storming off from a girls’ dinner.
Doute and Janet’s feud reignites too, with Doute dubbing her “a (expletive) fan” in a heated face-off. And then there’s Taylor’s self-reflection.
“I was a (expletive) terrible husband… great father, terrible husband,” he admits, making this upcoming season a powder keg of revelations and reckoning.
“The Valley” season 2 premieres Tuesday, April 15 on Bravo, with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock.
