The Valley is set to have a second season, and Nia Sanchez has some great ideas for new cast members. She thinks Scheana Shay and Lala Kent would be perfect additions.
Nia, 34, expressed her excitement in an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Thursday, May 9. She mentioned, "I would love that. No complaint there for me. I love Scheana and Lala. I’ve been friends with them long before we even started filming The Valley. We go way back."
Nia is new to the Bravo world, joining the Vanderpump Rules spinoff alongside husband Danny Booko. The reality TV series, which premiered earlier this year and also stars Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright and Kristen Doute, was renewed for season 2 on Thursday.
She added, “I think they’re incredible women and they are incredible mothers. I love them as mothers and friends, so no complaints on my end.”
Scheana, 39, and Lala, 33, have been part of VPR since season 1 and season 4, respectively. The recent season 11 finale left fans questioning what lies ahead for the show. Viewers were moved by a touching montage that featured young Lala, Scheana, Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, and others filming confessionals from earlier seasons.
Many fans on social media expressed that the footage seemed like a retrospective tribute to the show's history.
One X user expressed their emotional reaction to the ending of this season of Vanderpump Rules with the montage of the cast, saying "omg MY HEART."
Bravo has yet to officially announce the return of Vanderpump Rules, but Nia believes that The Valley season 2 will deliver plenty of drama in the meantime.
Nia shared with ET on Thursday that she feels things are only getting better. She mentioned that if you've been enjoying the craziness so far, there's more to come. Expect ups and downs in relationships, and even some unseen challenges between Daniel and her. Nia believes the show will continue to keep viewers intrigued.
Other members of The Valley have also suggested that there are more surprises and drama ahead.
"What Is the Best Reality Franchise of All Time?
Brittany, 35, shared with us last month that things are only going to get crazier in the reality TV world. She mentioned that this is just the beginning and that everyone will be mad at each other all summer."
The Valley season 1 captured the highs and lows of Brittany’s marriage to Jax, 44. Shortly after filming wrapped, they announced their separation. The pair continue to coparent 3-year-old son Cruz.
