"P-Valley" is the acclaimed Starz original series about the world of professional pole dancing. It follows the lives of the dancers, as well as the club's owner, Uncle Clifford. I spoke with Nicco Annan, who stars as Uncle Clifford, about the new season.

I will also be interviewing Felicia Henderson, the show runner, head writer, and executive producer of the new Netflix show "First Kill", following teenage vampire Juliette and her relationship with a new girl in town named Calliope who is a vampire hunter.

Topics Covered

“P-Valley” tells a universal story of hustlers, dreamers, survivors, and strivers

The series is created, and executive produced by Pulitzer Prize winner Katori Hall

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.

“First Kill” premieres on Netflix

Balancing being Showrunner-Executive Producer and head writer of FIRST KILL

WWII drama AVENGER FIELD for Peacock. The series stars Renée Zellweger as Jackie Cochran.

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.
