Jax Taylor credits himself for the creative concept of The Valley.
There are two things in life you can always be certain of — the sun will rise again tomorrow, and Jax Taylor will always have an ego.
Today, however, Jax is taking a moment to hold space for his idea that ultimately became the instant hit, The Valley.
The revelation came by way of his recent instagram post.
Apologies in advance for what you’re about to read LOL.
So this is how it all went down
“About two years after my departure from Vanderpump I decided it was time to come back to TV but I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do,” Jax began his caption on January 7.
“During the two year break (during covid) | always came back to my main idea that we talked about years prior with Stassi Brittany and Kristen, “What if we do a show in the “valley” dealing with our lives after Vanderpump”. Meaning starting families, getting married, living in the suburbs and so on. Dealing with more issues that I think the audience could relate too…”
“So one very cold evening I decided to meet @thealexbaskin at a hotel we both love @hotel_amarano and l wanted to pitch him this idea. After a three hour conversation he more or less gave us, (my manager and I @revel9 ) (who also is an executive producer) the green light to write up a “Deck” or “Hard Pitch” this was that night on November 11th 2021 Ryan and I were putting a show/cast together at one of our favorite spots @casavegarestaurant”
“The amount of work and emails and meetings that go into a project like this was insane but we also learned a lot about what it takes and how hard it is to start a successful show. And now it’s 2025 and we have season 2 of “The Valley” on the horizon.”
ICYMI:
This season, the creative genius took a few weeks off filming The Valley due to an inpatient rehab stay. In his absence, Scheana Shay, Tom Schwartz, and Lala Kent filmed alongside the cast.
There has been no official premiere date for season 2, but like Jax said above, it’s definitely on the horizon. With the cast filming confessionals, we should expect a trailer or some sort of teaser in the coming weeks.
