‘P-Valley’ Season 3 Gets December Premiere Date & First Teaser

• The Pynk expands while facing new challenges from the Promised Land Casino's opening.
• Lil' Murda and Keyshawn navigate personal struggles that threaten their futures.
• Creator Katori Hall prepares to end the series on her own terms after 17 years.

It’s officially time to head back to The Pynk for one final visit.

STARZ has confirmed that P-Valley will return for its third and final season on Friday, December 4, bringing Uncle Clifford and the crew back to Chucalissa for one last round of drama, dancing, and plenty of messy situations.

The nine-episode final season will kick off with two new episodes, both directed by series creator, showrunner, executive producer, and Pulitzer Prize-winner Katori Hall. New episodes will then drop weekly on Fridays exclusively on the STARZ app and STARZ’s streaming and on-demand platforms.

One Last Trip To The Pynk

Along with the premiere announcement, STARZ released the first teaser for Season 3, giving fans a glimpse at what’s waiting for them when the lights come back on at The Pynk.

And, as expected, things are about to get complicated.

The newly opened Promised Land Casino is bringing plenty of money into Chucalissa, but the town’s newfound wealth comes with a whole lot of chaos. The official description teases that “mo’ money” will bring “mo’ mayhem” as dreamers, schemers, ballers, and shot-callers descend on the Mississippi Delta looking for their piece of the legendary bag.

Meanwhile, Uncle Clifford, played by Nicco Annan, has her eyes on expanding The Pynk empire. Roulette, played by Gail Bean, is also ready to build her own empire, even if that means breaking one of the club’s cardinal rules.

Lil’ Murda (J. Alphonse Nicholson) is dealing with gang ties that could threaten his future, while Keyshawn (Shannon Thornton) is still fighting to escape her circumstances and finally take control of her own life.

The teaser also features a brand-new track from Lil’ Murda, “Homegrown,” featuring FendiDaRappa. The song will be available to stream on all platforms soon.

Katori Hall Says Goodbye

Hall is also getting ready to close the curtain on the series she first began developing back in 2009.

In a heartfelt letter to fans, the creator reflected on the journey from her original play, “Pussy Valley,” to the television series that premiered in 2020.

“There comes a moment when every stripper must hang up her heels,” Hall wrote. “Seventeen years into this dance, that time has come.”

Hall said the decision to end P-Valley with Season 3 was intentional, giving her the opportunity to close out the story on her own terms.

“The rarest honor a showrunner can have in today’s industry is to end a series on her own terms,” she wrote. “This is why I chose to say goodbye with grace, grit and glitter, lowering the curtain on P-VALLEY at Season 3 with a farewell y’all truly deserve.”

She also thanked STARZ for giving the series a home and providing a platform for Black, queer, and femme talent.

“STARZ was the one network who said yes to this story—but sometimes one yes is all you need,” Hall wrote. “Endings often come with tears, but we all know Uncle Clifford Rule 24.5: ‘No cryin’ at the Pynk.'”

The Pynk Posse Is Coming Back

The final season will bring back many of the familiar faces fans have grown attached to, including Brandee Evans as Mercedes, Harriett D. Foy as Mayor Woodbine, Dan J. Johnson as Corbin, Psalms Salazar as Whisper, Morocco Omari as Big L, Dominic DeVore as Duffy, Jordan M. Cox as Derrick, Thomas Q. Jones as Mane, Bertram Williams Jr. as Woddy, Mea Wilkerson as Haiku, and Loretta Devine as Ernestine.

P-Valley has become one of STARZ’s biggest original hits since its 2020 debut. According to the network, Season 2 averaged 11.6 million multiplatform viewers, while the series has racked up more than 236 million hours watched since its launch.

Now, after three seasons of secrets, romances, rivalries, hustles, heartbreak, and unforgettable performances, The Pynk is preparing for its final last call.

And if Hall is right, the Pynk Posse might want to prepare for what could be the wildest season yet.

“May this last dance go down in history as our greatest season ever,” Hall wrote.
