“P-Valley” will finally make its grand return on June 3 after a long two-year hiatus, and season two promises to shake things up at the Pynk. The last we heard of Chucalissa’s little strip club that could, Hailey, aka Autumn Night (Elarica Johnson), swooped in at the umpteenth hour to save it from getting snatched up at the town’s auction. But she won’t be seen as a hero in season two when she and Uncle Clifford (Nicco Annan) butt heads over who really runs the Pynk.
“. . . this season, not only is there a big bad wolf of the casino, but there’s also the big bad wolf of Miss Rona.”
The Pynk is on its last leg once again as it struggles to pull through the pandemic and navigate the bloody aftermath of Murda Night. To get ready for its grand “re-re-re-opening,” some feisty new recruits — Whisper (Psalms Salazar) and Roulette (Gail Bean) — will enter the fold to restore the club’s troubled reputation. But the club has to get past another hurdle in its way this season: the pandemic.
“We decided to really embrace the present moment and to fold the pandemic into the storytelling of our show,” creator Katori Hall told Entertainment Weekly. “Last season, there was the big bad Wolf of the casino, and this season, not only is there a big bad wolf of the casino, but there’s also the big bad wolf of Miss Rona.”
While the newbies and vets all desperately find ways to survive their own chaos, this season of “P-Valley” will determine who’s strong enough to weather the storm.
