PValley creator Katori Hall is happy to have Cardi B’s co-sign of the show.
. “What’s interesting about African American culture is that spirit is so prevalent and we address it and our ancestors are always with us,” Hall says. “And so, if you feel like there’s a kind of voodoo magical element that we’re digging into, that’s because it’s so much a part of Southern African American culture.”
No matter what, there was no avoiding what was happening at the time, especially as season 2 went back into production during the pandemic. “The fact that we embraced the pandemic, that we did not shy away from real-world events was something that I just felt like it was my responsibility as an artist,” Hall says, adding that her for hope for the second season is for people to watch it and “be like, ‘Oh my gosh, this was how Black folks were able to survive during that time.
She adds, “So, using TV as a medium to chronicle this time felt like the responsible thing to do as a Black female writer.” Despite the success of season 1, Hall wouldn’t necessarily say that she grew more confident in what she was doing with the series, but she definitely wanted to get “more nuanced” with the stories she was telling. “This story is so expansive,” she says.
It also didn’t hurt that “other people got more confidence in me telling the story,” she quips. “I’ll say that all day, because when other people have more confidence in you, you get more resources,” which includes a bigger music budget.
