Buckle up, Bravoholics, because season 2 of the Vanderpump Rules spin-off, The Valley, is slated to premiere tonight, Tuesday, April 15, on Bravo. If you thought last season's chaos was peak reality TV, it was just their warm-up.

What started as a group of former party animals settling into parenthood and suburban life in L.A.  has unraveled into a raw, revealing look at the fragility of friendships, marriages, and self-identity. This time around, the stakes are higher, the fights are nastier, and the cast is more fractured than ever.

Let's break down what to expect from each couple (and some very messy exes) this season.

Jax Taylor & Brittany Cartwright


It's official: Jax and Brittany are separated. What once was Bravo's wildest love story has hit rock bottom, and it's all playing out in real-time. After years of defending Jax's behavior on and off screen, Brittany has reached her breaking point. 

In the trailer, we see her covering security cameras and claiming Jax has people watching her. She's moved out, raising their son Cruz solo, and adjusting to life as a single mom — while trying to rediscover who she is. The resilient reality star also just revealed on social media that her son was recently diagnosed with Autism. 

As for Jax? He's attempting a redemption arc. Fans watch him check into a mental health facility – confronting years of unchecked anger. We also find him trying to stay involved in his son's life. Within the sneak peek, he slams the door on Brittany during a custody exchange and gets called out by the group for his behavior. This season it's clear they're dealing with something far more complex: co-parenting, healing, and deciding whether their love story is really over.

Jesse & Michelle Lally


Last season, Jesse and Michelle played the roles of glamorous couples with goals — building businesses and raising a daughter. This season? All of that collapses in a spectacularly toxic fallout.

Jesse accuses Michelle of cheating, even claiming he has proof that she's "sleeping with a billionaire for $1,500 a night."Michelle is understandably furious and throws a glass of wine in his face in a moment that will probably be replayed for the rest of Bravo's history. She counters with accusations of control and emotional manipulation.

"I'm the mother of your f***ing child," she screams in the trailer. 

Michelle is now dating Aaron Nosler, who joins the show this season and seems to be a stabilizing force in her life. But with Jesse still in the group's orbit and still trying to smooth over his image,  you can expect explosive confrontations and uncomfortable group dynamics all season long.

Kristen Doute & Luke Broderick


Kristen Doute is pregnant and engaged,  but don't expect smooth sailing. While Season 1 follows Kristen's fertility journey and her attempt at redemption post-Vanderpump Rules, Season 2 pulls back the curtain on her new relationship with Luke Broderick, and it's messier than expected.

Janet & Jason Caperna


Janet and Jason are arguably the most stable couple this season,  but even they aren't immune to the group's growing tension. They've just welcomed baby Cameron, and much of their storyline revolves around navigating new parenthood. But things take a turn when Janet starts clashing with old friend Kristen and calls out Danny Booko's behavior at a group dinner.

Despite Janet's typically calm demeanor, this season sees her losing her patience. One moment in the trailer shows Janet confronting Kristen, calling her "a f***ing fan," to which Kristen fires back with an epic one-liner. Their marriage appears solid, but this season will test Janet and Jason's limits when it comes to loyalty, friendships, and keeping the peace in a friend group spiraling out of control.

Danny & Nia Booko 


The Bookos are expecting baby number four. While they're expanding their family, their social standing in the group is getting shaky. Danny is accused of inappropriate behavior at a girls' night out, which causes serious friction, especially with Janet and Kristen. Nia is caught in the middle and storms out of a dinner in tears, hinting at deeper issues within the group and possibly at home. 

Zack Wickham


Zack is living his best life now with a new boyfriend, Benji Quach, who joins the show as a recurring cast member. He seems like the glue between multiple factions of the friend group and won't hesitate to call out hypocrisy when he sees it. This season, he's opening up more about what he wants in love and friendship. 

Jasmine Goode & Melissa Carelli


Jasmine has found love with her fiancée Melissa Carelli, and while they may not be front and center this season, their dynamic brings some much-needed authenticity and heart to the chaos. With Jasmine juggling friendships and wedding planning, expect her to speak up when lines are crossed, and don't be surprised if Melissa ends up more involved than expected.

Expect VPR Cameos


The Valley Season 2 isn't keeping things confined to just the cast. In true Bravo fashion, crossover moments are coming. Scheana Shay, Lala Kent, and Tom Schwartz all make appearances. Lala brings her signature fire when she confronts Jesse Lally about his behavior toward Kristen, calling him "toxic" and "a narcissist."

Scheana stirs things up too. Lala teased that her former Pump castmate "gets her hands dirty," and if the trailer's anything to go by, she's not wrong.

How To Watch


The Valley Season 2 premieres Tuesday, April 15 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo, with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock. You can also tune in live via streaming platforms like Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, Sling, and YouTube TV. Grab your popcorn, Bravo fans. This is going to be one hell of a ride.
