‘The Valley’ Is Already Filming Season 4: When Can Fans Expect to See It?
It has been a dramatic few weeks in the world of reality TV. While several Bravo stars are bringing the drama when cameras aren’t rolling, some will be saving their most dramatic moments for the cameras. Season 4 of The Valley is officially in production, and fans can’t wait to see what happens next in the San Fernando Valley. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s to come.
Filming for Season 4 of ‘The Valley’ is officially underway
Fans of The Valley will be happy to know the cast is back and the cameras are rolling. Deadline reported that production on Season 4 of the reality series ramped up in September, just a few weeks after the Season 3 finale aired on Aug. 19.
Bravo has not announced a premiere date for Season 4, but the show’s established timeline offers a good idea of when fans might reconnect with their favorite San Fernando Valley residents. Season 2 premiered on April 15, 2025, and Season 3 followed on April 1, 2026. If filming follows a similar schedule, fans can likely expect new episodes in spring 2027.
While the full season won’t hit the network until spring, fans will probably get a sneak peek sooner rather than later. Bravo released the Season 3 trailer in February 2026, so a first look at Season 4 could arrive early in the new year.
Who is coming back for Season 4?
While Season 4 of The Valley is currently filming, Bravo has yet to release a full cast list, but fans already know a couple of cast members won’t be back. Danny Booko and Nia Sanchez announced on Sept. 1 that they plan to leave the series. In a joint statement, they revealed that while they were grateful for the experience, they were focused on protecting their “peace” and their family. The announcement wasn’t a huge surprise after a tense Season 3.
The rest of the main cast, including Brittany Cartwright, Kristen Doute, Luke Broderick, Janet Caperna, Jason Caperna, Jesse Lally, Michelle Saniei, Jasmine Goode, Zack Wickham, Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz, have not announced plans to leave. They all appear to be on board for another season, at least for now.
What happened in Season 3?
Filming for Season 4 picked up not long after the Season 3 finale aired, giving the cast limited time to cool off after an exceedingly tense season. Season 3 premiered on April 1, 2026, with fellow Vanderpump Rules alums Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz joining as full-time cast members, while Jax Taylor exited. The shakeup altered the group’s dynamic and shifted attention to several less-explored storylines.
Kristen and Luke’s relationship was put under the microscope. The new parents struggled with intimacy issues following the birth of their daughter, Kaia, and the couple eventually went to therapy. Things got even more complicated when Luke hinted that he wouldn’t have proposed if he’d met “pregnant Kristen,” a comment that stunned his fiancée.
Danny and Nia’s marriage also faced intense scrutiny. Several castmates raised concerns about how Danny spoke to Nia, and Lala went as far as saying at the reunion that she hoped Nia would leave him.
The feud between Janet and the Bookos also boiled over, with Janet tossing a drink at Danny at one point. The season finale’s Halloween party, hosted by Brittany, led to confrontations and fractures among cast members, with almost everyone involved in at least one blowup. By the end, some relationships had improved, including Brittany reconnecting with Kristen and Zack, while others remained broken.
With the Bookos gone, Season 4 will look a little different, but if Season 3 is any indication, there will be plenty of drama to go around.
