What’s P-Valley about?

The Pynk, a strip club in the Mississippi Delta is the setting for this atmospheric new drama centred on the nuanced and fully realised lives of the women working there. There’s acrobatic headline dancer Mercedes (Brandee Evans), who brings in the biggest tips; Autumn (Elarica Johnson, who appeared in EastEnders), a new dancer who talks herself into a job; and Miss Mississippi (Shannon Thornton) a mother who’s in an abusive relationship. Watching over the club is Uncle Clifford (Nicco Annan) who is queer, non-binary and uses she/her pronouns. And the name of the drama? It’s short for Pussy Valley, which is the name of the play by Katori Hall (who also created this drama), that the show is based on.
