The Valley, which premiered March 19, is led by former VPR stars Jax Taylor, 44, his ex-wife, Brittany Cartwright, 35, and Kristen, 41, who were booted from the Bravo show years earlier.
It follows their lives, among other things, as they navigate their careers, relationships, and friendships while living in the San Fernando Valley area of California.
After VPR saw a significant boost in viewership following the cheating scandal dubbed “Scandoval” involving co-stars Tom Sandoval, 40, Ariana Madix, 38, and Rachel Leviss, 29, fans were eager to tune in to the new spin off.
However, some believed that Kristen saved the show from cancellation as her “messy” behavior left them wanting more.
KRISTEN’S CORNER
“Everyone should thank Kristen for renewing season 2 #thevalley,” wrote one person on X, formerly Twitter following the news of the show’s renewal.
Another wrote, “Everyone in the cast of #TheValley needs to respect her name,” with a gif of Kristen posing on the red carpet.
“I don’t think they realize we’re all tuning in to see her and Jax mess up,” said a third.
“Doute has been the MVP since day one!!!” a quarter praised it.
“She is smarter than she acts. The show wouldn’t exist without her,” added a fifth.
Many fans wondered if the show would return, as two couples broke up shortly before the first season premiered.
In February, Jax and Brittany announced their separation after five years of marriage.
They are parents to a son, Cruz, whom they welcomed in April 2021.
The exes have been open about their split on and off the show, with Brittany saying in a recent episode that their finances have driven a huge wedge between them.
Another couple from The Valley who split was Michelle and Jesse Lally, whose marital struggles have been a major storyline on the show.

Vanderpump Rules spin-off The Valley has attracted fans of Bravo and the like with its drama-filled episodes and fun cast.

Despite the cast split, all members were invited back for Season 2, and rumors recently circulated that VPR veteran Lala Kent, 33, could join the group.
Fans predicted that VPR would soon be eliminated, especially after they delayed filming season 11.
