Season two takes audiences deeper into the lives of the Pynk’s beloved characters as darkness descends upon Chucalissa.

“P-Valley” was filmed on location in Atlanta, GA, but is set against the Mississippi Delta.

More on P- Valley

One of the most acclaimed series on the STARZ network, the award-winning series “P-Valley” is back for Season 2. "P-Valley" is an engrossing drama of family, friendship, and survival. This season, the richly crafted characters deal with sacrifice, ethical dilemmas, identity, family, love, trust and betrayal, while also facing the aftermath of their decisions from season one.

More on Nicco Annan

Nathaniel Nicco-Annan was born on an Army base in Germany to a black Southern woman born and a West African man from Ghana. Nicco, as he is affectionately known, was raised in Detroit, Michigan. Best described as talented and entertaining, Nicco is an impassioned spirit, who had a love for acting and dance from his earliest years. Ultimately that passion led him from Detroit to New York, where he trained under the iconic Director, Israel Hicks, at SUNY Purchase College Conservatory of Acting, and earned his BFA. Shortly after that, Nicco accepted an opportunity to be a Choreographer in Residence at the Yale School of Drama. Nicco’s razor-sharp wit and emotional accessibility have driven a varied career in both Legit and Musical Theatre, as well as in Film and Television. His brand defies all of the traditional limitations. As a gay man he grew up in between the worlds of the “grand fantastical” gay scene and the rigid realities of being a big black man in America and the stigma that both can carry.
