The Valley is the latest spinoff of Bravo's smash hit Vanderpump Rules. While Vanderpump Rules season 11 ramps up to cover all of the Scandoval fallout, The Valley will focus on a group of former VPR stars and their families as they try to do the adult thing in Los Angeles. 

The Valley features two original VPR cast members and a few others who joined the cast in later seasons. They've made cameo appearances on VPR since leaving the flagship show about the staff at Lisa Vanderpump's glitzy LA eateries and bars, and now it's time to catch up with them and see watch as they figure out what their post-Vanderpump Rules lives look like as they trade champagne bottles for baby bottles.
