Audiences were finally welcomed back into the club earlier this year and P-Valley fans will no doubt find themselves curious about the cast, eager to peel back the backstage curtain.
Created by Katori Hall, the American drama series is an adaptation of Hall’s play Pussy Valley and viewers were introduced to the workers of a strip club in the Mississippi Delta back when the show premiered on Starz in 2020.
With performances from Brandee Evans, Elarica Johnson, and many more, it’s been an absolute delight to be back to work with the great cast of characters courtesy of season 2.
Since it began again in June 2022, the show has earned more fans than ever, with many celebrating just how much they love Uncle Clifford, the non-binary owner and proprietor of The Pynk. Nicco Annan absolutely smashes the role but audiences have a question about the talent behind the character… is Uncle Clifford gay in real life?
