Bravo fans just got a glimpse at season 2 of The Valley.
Jax Taylor and Jesse Lally were photographed deep in conversation while filming the hit Bravo series on July 18. The costars spoke in front of Jax’s house after production officially started on season 2.
Before they resumed filming, Jax teased a feud between him and someone else on The Valley. Jax specifically mentioned several times on his “When Reality Hits” podcast in June that he wouldn’t be inviting one person to his upcoming birthday party but didn’t name anyone or reveal what caused the rift.
“I don’t need to bring the drama. It’s already there. They just didn’t put it on the TV and I’m shocked,” he noted at the time. “I’m excited for the season, but there’s some things that need to be out of the bag. Cat needs to be out of the bag on a few different things.”
Jax made it clear that he wouldn’t let anything go unaddressed during the second season of The Valley, adding, “You guys are in for it because I’m going to make sure there are things that are going to be told this time. I feel like everything wasn’t let out of the bag. There was a lot of like, ‘Why wasn’t this shown?’ That’s not going to happen. Some of you people are going to be in for a surprise.”
Fans have since questioned whether Jax is at odds with Danny Booko. Earlier this month, Danny confirmed there was tension between him and another costar.
“One of whom you thought was your closest friends on there, trying to stir stuff up and insinuate things that aren’t true. And try to stir the pot, which he thinks is for the show,” he said on an episode of Nia’s “Hold My Crown” podcast in July. “But it is blatant lies. It’s hurtful. And friends don’t do that.”
Danny said he was looking forward to hashing out his issues, adding, “We need to have that conversation. I would like to have that conversation that may happen on season 2. But I hope it happens before. Because I don’t like conflict. I don’t like feeling this way.”
He continued: “I don’t like what he’s doing and putting out there right now. It isn’t cool. It’s not just me but it’s about our marriage.”
Nia also didn’t name anyone while addressing the offscreen situation. “I know there’s some of the guys who you get along with. But then I feel like there’s some guys that haven’t been quality friends for you. That makes me apprehensive,” she told Danny about preparing to film new episodes of The Valley with male costars Jax, Luke Broderick, Jason Caperna and Zack Wickham. “It feels a little bit different on the guys’ side.”
The Valley has been renewed for season 2, and all episodes are currently streaming on Peacock.
