Significant changes are reportedly on the horizon for the cast of the Bravo reality series The Valley as production prepares for a third season. Sources indicate that network executives are actively exploring new additions while evaluating the futures of several current stars, driven by concerns over fractured relationships within the group.
The show, which consistently ranks among Peacock’s top-viewed programs, is said to be in a casting phase. Insiders stress this move is not a reaction to ratings but a proactive measure to avoid production challenges seen in other long-running reality franchises. The goal is to prevent a scenario where cast members refuse to film together, which can cripple a series’ dynamic.
This concern is particularly acute given the current off-screen turmoil. Two of the show’s central couples, Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright, along with Jesse Lally and Michelle Lally, are navigating highly public and contentious separations. The feasibility of these estranged pairs continuing to film group events and vacations together is now in serious question.
Compounding the issue are tensions involving cast member Janet Caperna, who is said to be at odds with multiple co-stars. This widespread friction has reportedly created uncertainty for producers about how to move forward with the existing ensemble.
In their search for fresh faces, casting directors have allegedly held talks with several notable figures from the Bravo universe. Among those approached are Vanderpump Rules alumni Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz. Conversations have also reportedly taken place with Jeremy Madix, brother of Ariana Madix, and Lacy Nicole, who is romantically linked to Jesse Lally. There is also speculation about adding the ex-girlfriend of Michelle Lally’s current boyfriend, Aaron Nosler.
As for the current roster, some positions appear more secure than others. Sources indicate that Jesse Lally, Kristen Doute, Luke Broderick, and married couple Danny and Nia Booko are likely to return. The futures of Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright, however, are described as uncertain. Janet Caperna’s standing is also reportedly in jeopardy due to her ongoing conflicts with the cast.
For Cartwright, watching the current season air has been an emotionally complex experience. She has described it as difficult to relive personal events during a major life transition but has expressed pride in her transparency, hoping her story resonates with viewers facing similar challenges.
With production for the next season underway, the final composition of the cast remains a closely watched question, signaling a potential new chapter for the drama-filled series.
