Cameras up for season 3 of The Valley on 9/3!!
‘The Valley’ Season 3 Cast Shakeup
As “The Valley” gears up for its highly anticipated season 3, Bravo is pulling out the big guns — and also leaving some behind. Filming is set to begin in just a few weeks, and the cast reshuffling already has fans buzzing. Between Jax Taylor’s being let go, Brittany Cartwright’s pointed reaction, and a parade of familiar faces sliding back in, this season is shaping up to be pure Bravo chaos.
Jax Taylor Out, Brittany Cartwright Sounds Off
Jax Taylor, once considered the anchor of “The Valley,” won’t be back for season 3, after his appalling behavior. According to People, even some of his castmates expected him to return. But an executive producer told The Hollywood Reporter that his absence won’t tank the show:
“We did spend half the season without him, and that period of time was really full and rich… I think it’s going to be different, but I don’t think different is a bad thing.”
Different indeed. Brittany, who filed for divorce in August 2024 after Taylor’s addiction struggles and alleged aggression at home, didn’t mince words about the shakeup. On “Watch What Happens Live,” she called it “a great decision by everyone,” making it clear she’s more than ready to film without her ex.
Returning Faces and Cameos Stir the Pot for ‘The Valley’ Season 3
As we previously reported, the core cast is intact: Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick, Danny Booko and Nia Sanchez, Jason and Janet Caperna, Brittany Cartwright, Jesse Lally, Michelle Saniei, Jasmine Goode, and Zack Wickham are all back as full-time players.
And because Bravo knows how to serve fans exactly what they want, several “Vanderpump Rules” stars are crossing over. Scheana Shay, Brock Davies, Lala Kent, and Tom Schwartz will all appear. But don’t hold your breath for Tom Sandoval — producers reportedly had “no interest” in working with him again.

So maybe the Golnesa drama is just a storyline they set up? They all love to self-produce.
