The Valley Season 3 Trailer: New Faces, Familiar Messes, and the Jax-Shaped Hole in the Yard

Grab a goat cheese ball and hide the fine china, The Valley is back, and the Season 3 trailer just dropped like a social bombshell in a quiet suburban cul-de-sac. Bravo officially released the first look at the new season today, and if you thought the departure of the group’s self-proclaimed "number one guy" would lead to a more mature show, you clearly haven’t been paying attention to these people.

Schwartz and Lala Move In

The big news? The Valley has officially become the retirement home for Vanderpump Rules legends. Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz are now full-time residents, and they aren’t just here to borrow a cup of sugar. The trailer immediately leans into the chaos these two bring, specifically a bizarrely flirtatious dynamic between Schwartz and Michelle Saniei.

In true Bravo fashion, the group is seen chanting for the two of them to kiss, while Lala ever the provocateur jokes about a "threesome" with the pair. It’s exactly the kind of unhinged energy we expect from a cast that somehow manages to make homeownership look like a high-stakes contact sport.

Life After Jax

Of course, the elephant in the room (or the one missing from the room) is Jax Taylor. Following his exit to focus on mental health, the dynamic has shifted. Brittany Cartwright is leaning fully into her "single girl" era, showcasing her post-op confidence after her recent breast implant removal. She claims she’s finally getting her "sparkle back," though the trailer hints that the sparkle might be dimmed by the ongoing divorce drama with Jesse Lally and Michelle.

Dirty Laundry in the Driveway

The rest of the cast is doing what they do best: crumbling under the pressure of domestic bliss.

• Jesse Lally and Michelle Saniei: The divorce is getting loud. The trailer captures Michelle screaming "Divorce me, please!" during a cast trip.

• Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick: The couple is navigating the highs and lows of new parenthood, which apparently involves a complete lack of intimacy and a lot of crying (mostly from the adults).

• Danny and Nia Booko: Even the "stable" couple is feeling the burn, proving that three kids under three is a recipe for a Bravo breakdown.

The Verdict

Season 3 looks like a frantic, messy, and highly entertaining pivot for the series. By injecting the "soft-era" Lala and the perpetually confused Schwartz into the mix, The Valley is doubling down on its identity as the messier, suburban cousin of VPR. Without Jax to act as the lightning rod for every conflict, the rest of the cast is forced to step up their own drama and based on these three minutes of footage, they are more than up to the task.

The Valley Season 3 premieres Wednesday, April 1, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo, streaming next day on Peacock.
