Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, and their best friends will return to Bravo for season 2 of “The Valley” in April 2025. Based on the trailer, which showcased tears, thrown drinks, and shocking threats of physical violence, the Bravoverse is in for a wild ride.

Also, in the trailer, Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor address the downfall of their marriage with their friends, and during tense conversations, both reality stars are pushed to tears when they realize things will never be the same.

Taylor and Cartwright have been in the middle of a public divorce since August 2024. After five years of marriage, Cartwright, who met and wed Taylor on “Vanderpump Rules,” told her fans that she was leaving the villainous reality star because of “irreconcilable differences.”

In the teaser for the upcoming batch of episodes, Cartwright was seen telling a co-star that, in addition to divorce, her plans included securing custody of her three-year-old son, Cruz, and filing a restraining order against Taylor.

Elsewhere in the trailer, viewers saw Taylor speaking into a camera before breaking down in tears over the “man I want to become.”

Another shocking scene in the trailer involved Cartwright making the surprising claim that Taylor, 45, had people keeping tabs on her every move since separating.

“He has people watching me,” the reality star told her friends before the teaser showed her covering up a camera inside of her home.

In another emotional clip, Cartwright, 36, could be seen fighting with her castmate Nia Booko as she shouts that her husband was entering rehab for addiction.

“I’m going through so much,” Cartwright said, adding, “My husband [is in] rehab!”

Cartwright’s revelation that Taylor had entered an in-patient recovery center while filming season 2 of “The Valley” isn’t much of a surprise, considering the “House of Villains” star opened up about his stay in 2024.

In March 2025, he was even more vulnerable with audience members when he revealed he’d struggled with addiction to cocaine for nearly two decades.

During the “Hot Mic” podcast sponsored by Bravo, Taylor, who joined “VPR” in 2013, told the host candidly that he was “an addict.”

“I have substance issues—primarily with cocaine,” he explained before saying he’d been using the illicit drug since he was 23.

Cartwright discussed Taylor’s openness with the Bravosphere and admitted that she was unconvinced he’d be able to stay on the straight and arrow. According to her, she’s attempted to help the father of one many times before; however, her attempts were always met with resistance. Consequently, it’s been difficult for Cartwright to sing his praises.

“His behaviors are still alarming, and his treatment plan seems to be the bare minimum,” she added.

Taylor explained that he used cocaine during most of the filming for “Vanderpump Rules,” which he starred in from 2013 to 2020. During his interview, Taylor shared that he believed he was keeping his behavior concealed, “but clearly, I wasn’t,” he said.

“I thought, for the most part, that I was keeping a lot of it under the radar,” Taylor noted. “When I watch back, I’m like, ‘How big are my f-cking pupils? I’m sweating and there’s no reason to be sweating in the scene. Why am I sweating?’”

He continued, “I would go off on my own. We would film a scene, and you have 30 minutes [of] downtime, so most people go rest. I would go to a bar, get lit, or go next door from SUR, and that’s where we all went because we weren’t allowed to drink during scenes.”

Taylor and Cartwright aren’t the only couple facing troubles in season 2 of “The Valley.”

Michelle Saniei and Jesse Lally are still at odds following their split at the end of season 1.

In the trailer, the estranged couple are seen engaged in several explosive arguments, including one that stemmed from Lally calling Saniei, the mother of his child, a “hooker.”

Elsewhere in the three-minute clip, cameras captured Saniei throwing a drink in Lally’s face after he asked whether she cheated on him.

“F-ck you,” she said before walking away.

Fans responded with overwhelming praise to the trailer, with many acknowledging how intense the season looks.

“We’ve gotta protect this show with everything we’ve got,” one user wrote. “They have CLOCKED IN.”

“Holy sh-t,” a second user commented. “This looks AMAZING!”

A third user agreed before saying “The Valley” was in their “Bravo top [five].”
