STARZ has released the electric trailer for its new docu-series, “Down in the Valley.” NAACP Award winner Nicco Annan brings his charismatic energy to explore taboo topics often overlooked. For an enlightening and engaging series, the trailer highlights the powerful and celebratory stories Annan will explore as he works to spread wisdom on this traditionally unconventional journey. “Down in the Valley” isn’t afraid to tackle the provocative topics and themes that are also explored in “P-Valley,” such as sex, queerness, religion, and southern culture, and does so through the lens of joy, celebration, and realness that is so inherent to Annan and what makes him especially suited to host these in-depth conversations and explorations. The unique six-half-hour episode series will offer viewers a captivating journey through the Deep South, revealing a multifaceted South that is as poignant as it is joyful and magical. As previously announced, the series is hosted by the dynamic and iconic Nicco Annan (“P-Valley”), and it is set to premiere on Friday, July 5, @ midnight ET on the STARZ app. On linear, it will debut on STARZ @ 9:00 PM ET/PT in the U.S. and 10:00 PM ET in Canada.
Annan, best known as “Uncle Clifford” on STARZ’s critically acclaimed drama series “P-Valley,” will be immersed in the people, sensuality, music, culture, and stories of the South. From strip clubs to sex workshops, rap performances, and ancient hoodoo rituals, Annan, as well as the audience, will experience it all. The series confronts uncomfortable truths, challenges societal norms, and advocates for a more inclusive and enlightened future.
