Reza Farahan, Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi, and Mercedes “MJ” Javid are returning to Bravo in The Valley: Persian Style. And during the “Peaks & the Valley” panel at BravoCon on Friday, fans got their first look at season one.
In addition to being reunited with the Shahs of Sunset alums, who haven’t been seen on the network since August 2021, viewers met the rest of the cast, including Tanin Nikpey, Greg Haroutunian, Sky Asakari, Bamshad Akbar, Natasha Kashanian, Amir Boroumand, and Reza Jackson, and learned of the series’ premiere date.
“After the Islamic Revolution, there was a huge migration,” Reza explains as the trailer begins.
“A lot of Iranians packed up and fled here in Los Angeles,” GG notes.
“All of my friends are here, so the Valley is where it’s at,” says MJ.
But the Valley is not for everyone.
“I don’t like to live in the Valley. I don’t like the food. I don’t like the vibe,” Sky declares.
“Bro! We’re on a TV show called the f*cking Valley,” GG fires back.
And that’s not the only exchange of words the women have.
“I wasn’t raising my voice until you raised your f*cking voice at me!” GG tells Sky at another moment.
Then, after calling out Bamshad for “just sitting there” amid the dispute, prompting him to sarcastically tell her that he’s a “big f*cking failure,” Sky seemingly threatens to call the cops on GG.
“I’m gonna call the police. I’m being very serious,” she warns as GG tells someone else, “F*ck her.”
“Get out of here!” Sky later screams.
Even GG and Reza, the latter of whom insists they’ve become “grown as f*ck,” are bickering.
“In the last five years, a lot has happened. We have kids now,” MJ shares.
But they’re not giving up their fun.
“When are we gonna start drinking? When?” MJ asks in another scene as GG wonders, “Where’s the single men?”
Although GG is on the hunt after splitting from husband Dennis DeSantis, who she hasn’t spoken to since a week after they got married, other members of the cast are seen on dates with their spouses, including MJ and Tommy Feight.
“I just don’t feel happy,” MJ admits to her mom after Tommy worries about diarrhea amidst a romantic dinner.
“You cannot teach an old monkey a new trick,” she replies.
Meanwhile, as Tanin confronts her partner about “some girl texting [him] at 2 a.m.,” Reza admits he’d like more affection from husband Adam Neely.
Reza also speaks to MJ about her since-ended marriage, asking, “Is Tommy open to being friends,” before MJ’s mom sits him down.
“She’s not happy,” she tells Tommy.
“Then she should get divorced,” he replies.
Elsewhere, Tanin tells Sky that it feels like she’s treating people as if they are “beneath [her].”
“But they are,” Sky argues.
The Valley: Persian Style season one premiere on Thursday, January 8, at 9/8c on Bravo.
