Fortunately, those rumors from a few weeks ago about being at risk of cancellation were completely false. Bravo is moving ahead with Season 3, and an insider close to production spilled some major tea about casting. Allegedly, producers have been conducting interviews looking for new castmates. A few of the people tapped? None other than , , and little brother.

Of course, we always have to take casting rumors with a grain of salt, but according to an insider who spoke to OKMagazine.com, the producers are looking to avoid having the show hit a dead end like Vanderpump Rules did in Season 11. That’s something we can definitely believe.

“The reason they’re casting is because they don’t want the show to end up like Vanderpump Rules, where you have a cast that won’t film with each other,” the source explained.

“Right now, you have Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright, who are going through a bitter divorce, and you have Jesse Lally and Michelle [Saniei] Lally, who are also going through a brutal split,” the insider continued. “It wouldn’t make sense for any of these estranged couples to go on trips together or spend time together going forward.”

With that in mind, the producers are looking to expand the world of The Valley. Supposedly, the Toms have been in conversations with the casting team in addition to Ariana’s brother, Jeremy Madix.

“They’re looking at all options for casting,” the source noted.

Jeremy would be an interesting choice and has remained in good graces with the Pump Rules cast over the years. He hugged Sandoval at The Valley premiere party and said the drama felt like “water under the bridge.” A few months later, he wound up having bigger problems when he got hit with felony drug trafficking charges.

According to the production insider, a handful of people from Season 2 will return next year. That includes Jesse, whose new girlfriend has also been chatting with the casting team. Kristen Doute and Luke Broderick are also clear from the chopping block.

Whatever happens next, the source reiterated that Bravo isn’t trying to get rid of The Valley anytime soon. The show has remained one of the most-watched series on Peacock. It’s also getting a spinoff via the Shahs of Sunset reboot. This franchise isn’t going anywhere.

The Valley airs new episodes on Bravo every Tuesday at 8/7c and on Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
