Starz is gearing up for a bold exploration of Southern culture with its upcoming docu-series “Down in the Valley,” set to premiere on Friday, July 5. Hosted by actor Nicco Annan of “P-Valley” fame, this six-episode series is an uncensored and unapologetic look at the Deep South.
The series, produced by Zero Point Zero for Starz, will take viewers on a journey through the complexities of the South, tackling taboo subjects and shedding light on marginalized communities. From strip clubs to ancient rituals, “Down in the Valley” promises to delve into the diverse and multifaceted aspects of Southern life.
Annan, known for his role as “Uncle Clifford” in the hit series “P-Valley,” expressed his excitement for the project, stating, “I can’t wait for ya’ll to get a taste of this fiercely unpredictable, deep-dive dance into Southern culture. It’s a black mirror of sorts.”
The teaser trailer released by Starz offers a glimpse into the compelling stories and vibrant characters that viewers can expect to encounter in “Down in the Valley.” With an emphasis on resilience and inclusivity, the series aims to challenge norms and provide a more enlightened perspective on Southern heritage.
“Down in the Valley” serves as a companion to “P-Valley,” offering audiences a deeper understanding of Southern Black culture. As viewers anticipate the return of “P-Valley” later this year, “Down in the Valley” promises to keep audiences engaged and immersed in the rich tapestry of Southern narratives.
