*During the Starz Television Critics Association (TCA) presentation at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, President and Chief Executive Officer Chris Albrecht announced the series development of “Pussy Valley,” from playwright Katori Hall.

Shadow and Act notes that the scripted, one-hour drama will explore the lives of pole dancers working in the Dirty Delta. Below is the “Pussy Valley” synopsis:

Set in an infamous Mississippi “shake junt” called the Pink Pony, “Pussy Valley” is an intimate window to the unexplored southern strip club world, where the desires of pro-ballers and politicians collide with the dreams of five brave women. For these women, the line between performance and reality becomes blurred, as the drama of their outside lives threaten their onstage personas. On the quest for money, power, and respect, each woman must make a choice. For some it’s a step down, for others a step up, as the Pink Pony stage constantly shape-shifts between a platform for freedom and a gilded cage. In this world of smoke and mirrors, who will fall and who will fly?

Katori Hall (“The Mountaintop,” “Hurt Village,” “The Blood Quilt”) will executive produce “Pussy Valley” with Chernin Entertainment’s Peter Chernin (“New Girl,” “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,” “The Heat”); Jenno Topping (“Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,” “Spy,” “Charlie’s Angels”); and Dante Di Loreto (“Glee,” “American Horror Story,” “The Normal Heart”).

“We’re excited to work with Katori Hall who has successfully created exciting and complex roles for black women in the American theater and we’re confident she’ll continue to do so with ‘Pussy Valley,’” said Carmi Zlotnik, Managing Director of Starz.

In addition, Starz announced during TCA a superhero drama series in the works from Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.
