Psalms Salazar And Gail Bean To Join Starz’s P-Valley Season Two
STARZ announced today at Winter TCA 2022 that Psalms Salazar (Girl Lost: A Hollywood Thriller) and Gail Bean ("Snowfall," "Paradise Lost") will join the cast of the network’s breakout hit “P-Valley” for its sophomore season. Creator and Showrunner Katori Hall discussed the upcoming season while series regular Nicco Annan gave an exclusive behind-the-scenes set visit through The Pynk as a part of STARZ’s virtual Winter TCA session, which also featured commentary from “P-Valley” creator and showrunner Katori Hall with vignettes from cast members Elarica Johnson, Brandee Evans, Shannon Thornton, J. Alphonse Nicholson, Harriett D. Foy and Morocco Omari.
Psalms Salazar joins as series regular Whisper, an enigmatic free spirit with a spooky streak who speaks in riddles and eerie truths. She’s blessed with a direct line to the universe and sight beyond the earthly realm. The air to Roulette’s fire, Whisper becomes a full-blown tornado when she hits the pole.
Gail Bean stars as recurring character Roulette, a feisty wild child who truly lives up to her name—she’s taking major risks and breaking allllll of Uncle Clifford’s rules. Like fire, she’s dangerous, unpredictable, and uncontrollable—but dazzling to watch. On and off the pole, she’s turning The Pynk upside down.
Returning cast includes: Nicco Annan (“This is Us”) as Uncle Clifford, Elarica Johnson (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) as Autumn Night, Brandee Evans (“The Bobby Brown Story”) as Mercedes, Shannon Thornton (“Power”) as Miss Mississippi, J. Alphonse Nicholson (“Chicago P.D.”) as Lil’ Murda, Parker Sawyers (Southside With You) as Andre, Harriett D. Foy (“Elementary”) as Pastor Woodbine, Dan J. Johnson (“Underemployed”) as Corbin, Tyler Lepley (“The Haves and the Have Nots”) as Diamond and Skyler Joy (Ma) as Gidget.
Based on her play “Pussy Valley,” creator Katori Hall (The Mountaintop, Tina: The Tina Turner Musical) serves as showrunner and executive producer. Dante Di Loreto also serves as an executive producer on the series. Lionsgate Television produces “P-Valley” for STARZ.
Down deep in the Mississippi Delta lies an oasis of grit and glitter in a rough patch of human existence where beauty can be hard to find. This southern-fried, hour-long drama tells the kaleidoscopic story of a little-strip-club-that-could and the big characters who come through its doors—the hopeful, the lost, the broken, the ballers, the beautiful, and the damned. Trap music meets film noir in this lyrical and atmospheric series that dares to ask what happens when small-town folk dream beyond the boundaries of the Piggly Wiggly and the pawnshop.
