The Pynk is Back: Everything We Know About P-Valley Season 3 on STARZ
Chucalissa is officially calling. After a nearly four-year hiatus that felt like a lifetime, STARZ has confirmed that P-Valley Season 3 will premiere in 2026.
Showrunner Katori Hall and the cast have finally wrapped production on the most anticipated installment of the Southern gothic drama yet. Here is your definitive guide to the return of the baddest club in the Delta.
The Long Wait is Over
The road to Season 3 was a long one. Production originally began in early 2023 but was halted for an entire year as Hall and the crew stood in solidarity with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Filming officially resumed in 2024 and concluded in November 2024, clearing the way for a massive 2026 release.
Who’s Returning to The Pynk?
Expect all your favorites to hit the stage. The confirmed returning cast includes:
Nicco Annan as the legendary Uncle Clifford
Brandee Evans as the incomparable Mercedes
Shannon Thornton as Miss Mississippi (Keyshawn)
J. Alphonse Nicholson as Lil’ Murda
Gail Bean as Roulette
New Faces in Chucalissa
Season 3 is expanding its world with several high-profile additions. Joining the cast are De’Adre Aziza, Brandon J. Dirden, Nicholas G. Sims, and rapper Kia Shine. While their roles are being kept under tight wraps, rumors suggest they will shake up the power dynamics at both The Pynk and in Chucalissa’s political landscape.
What to Expect: Plot Teasers
Season 2 ended on several massive cliffhangers:
Mercedes "retired" from the stage, but can she truly walk away?
Keyshawn was last seen in a dire situation involving her abusive partner and the law.
Uncle Clifford and Lil’ Murda finally took their relationship public—but at what cost to their careers?
Katori Hall has teased that Season 3 will focus on "healing and resilience" as the characters navigate the aftermath of the pandemic and the changing soul of their town.
