We've provided a breakdown of where to watch The Valley Season 2 at home, including live airings and post-release viewing via on-demand. The Valley marks Bravo's third spinoff series from Vanderpump Rules, following Jax & Brittany Take Kentucky and the Vanderpump Rules After Show. However, The Valley is much more family-focused than the original series, taking the focus from the romance, friendship, and career-based drama of Lisa Vanderpump's restaurant and bar staff to more closely navigating the highs and lows of parenting, marriage and divorce, and careers among some original cast members. Bringing back plenty of familiar faces, the cast of The Valley Season 2 still focuses on the family lives of Daniel and Nia Booko, Luke Broderick and Kristen Doute, Janet and Jason Caperna, Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor, and Jesse Lally and Michelle Saniei. This season, Jasmine Goode and Zack Wickam's screen time will also be increased as main cast members. Fans of Vanderpump Rules can also expect guest appearances from stars like Tom Schwartz, Lala Kent, Brock Davies, and Scheana Shay. Below is our outline of everything you need to know about how to watch The Valley Season 2. From global options to local viewing strategies at home, we've got you covered wherever you go.

Bravo has been the home to the Vanderpump Rules reality franchise since its debut in 2013, with new spinoffs like The Valley continuing to be broadcast on the channel. As such, new episodes of The Valley air Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo, beginning with the Season 2 premiere on April 15. In addition to viewing it via cable, there are a few options for watching The Valley through live TV streaming services. The cheapest way to live stream The Valley Season 2 is through DirecTV's MyEntertainment plan. The price for this base tier starts at $35/month following a five-day free trial. In addition to The Valley's home channel, Bravo, the recently launched MyEntertainment genre package features over 40 other entertainment-specific channels to stream live, like the Food Network and HGTV. The pack also carries ad-supported Disney Plus, Hulu, and Max. Another one of the least expensive ways to watch The Valley live on streaming is through Sling TV's Blue plan, which includes Bravo in addition to 40+ other channels. A Sling TV Blue plan subscription costs $46/month. However, eligible subscribers can get their first month for half-off for $23/month. Currently, Sling TV does not offer a free trial, and Bravo is not included in the streaming service's free ad-supported Sling Freestream subscription tier. The Valley Season 2 is also available to stream live each week with a subscription to Fubo's Pro plan. The cost of this live TV package starts at $85/month, following a seven-day free trial. Fubo is also offering a 35% discount for new subscribers' first month at only $55/month, after which the price will return to the regular Pro plan rate. Fubo's Pro plan features 150+ local and national channels, such as Bravo, E!, and FX. While the platform doesn't include an option to watch live on Tuesday nights, you can also stream The Valley Season 2 on-demand via Peacock. New episodes of The Valley drop on Peacock the day after premiere on Wednesdays. The cheapest Peacock subscription tier is the Premium Plan, which costs $8/month (or $80 annually). In various locations outside the United States, new episodes of The Valley Season 2 are available to watch through Hayu. The streaming service is owned by NBCUniversal and includes access to much of the reality TV programming from the company's US channels: Bravo, E!, and Oxygen. The least expensive subscription to Hayu costs £5/month after a seven-day free trial in the UK. Hayu is available in areas such as the United Kingdom and most European countries, as well as New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Iceland, Singapore, Hong Kong, and The Philippines. Check out Hayu's website for a full list of the streaming service's geographic availability and subscription prices, which vary depending on region. You can also subscribe to Hayu as an add-on through Prime Video Channels. To get access to Hayu this way, you'll also need an active Amazon Prime subscription. While traveling away from home, you can still watch The Valley on Bravo through your usual streaming service by using a VPN (virtual private network). VPNs allow users to mask their IP addresses through encrypted connections between a device and the internet. When using the internet globally, VPNs can be a helpful way to enhance cybersecurity and protect one's privacy. They also ensure that users can still use their apps and website normally as they do at home while on the move. When looking for safe VPNs with high value, we recommend using ExpressVPN. We reviewed ExpressVPN as our best-tested VPN, as the service provides top-tier cybersecurity, consistently fast internet speed, and a user-friendly interface. This option also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're unsatisfied after this time. Sign up for a VPN if you don't already have one. Install it on the device you're using to watch. Turn it on and set it to the location of your streaming service. Sign up for one of the above streaming services. Enjoy the show! The trailer for The Valley Season 2 teases Kristen and Luke's engagement, Brittany and Jax's experiences with new romances and legalities during their divorce, and some fallouts with Jesse. We also get some glimpses of details around Michelle's alleged affair, Lala and Tom Schwartz's returns, and a confrontation regarding alleged inappropriate behavior from Danny. It also looks like plenty of drama will go down when the cast heads on a luxury yacht this season. Check out the trailer below: Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Business Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs. Read the original article on Business Insider

DirecTV's new Genre Packs let streamers select from news, sports, Spanish-language TV
DirecTV's new Genre Packs let streamers select from news, sports, Spanish-language TV DirecTV has new Genre Packs of news, movies and TV shows, and Spanish-language programming you can stream for a monthly charge. And you can add other Mini-Packs of movies and sports programs, too. Show Caption Hide Caption Black Friday: How to score major deals on Disney+, streaming platforms With so many streaming services out there, it can be expensive keeping up with content. Here's how to save money, while enjoying your favorite shows. Problem Solved DirecTV wants to make it easier for streamers to create their own programming package. The TV provider is offering three new standalone streaming content offerings, or Genre Packs, for subscribers to choose from: MyEntertainment (TV shows and movies), MyNews (U.S. and global news) and MiEspañol (Spanish language programming). The Genre Packs, which cost $34.99 or $35.99 monthly, are available to stream now at They will be available through streaming device partners and in the coming months. Subscribers to a Genre Pack can also opt to add an additional Mini-Pack of content such as MyCinema ($9.99 monthly) or MySports Extra ($12.99 monthly). The new offerings build on DirecTV's recent launch of MySports, a subscription streaming service with 40 channels ($69.99 monthly), and MyFree DirecTV, a free streaming service with more than 90 advertising-supported live TV channels. All of these and the new Genre Packs and Mini-Packs can be watched on a browser or in the DirecTV app on popular streaming devices. "At DIRECTV, we're breaking up with the one-size-fits-all bloated cable bundles of the past by delivering new ways for consumers to enjoy the content they love at the best value," said DirecTV chief marketing officer Vince Torres in a press release. "Our new Genre Packs and Mini-Packs provide lower-priced options, allowing customers to pick and choose what they want to watch and when they want to watch it." The TV distribution market continues to shift toward streaming. Streaming revenue (including advertising revenue from streaming subscriptions with ads) of $17.3 billion, surpassed revenue from pay TV subscriptions ($16.7 billion) in the third quarter of 2024, according to The Hollywood Reporter, citing research firm Ampere Analysis. As more money goes to streaming, services have devised new ways to attract subscribers including deals and lower-priced packages for those who will watch commercials. More control over the content they pay for is a "big win for consumers," said Rich Greenfield, a partner and media and technology analyst at LightShed Partners. "To me the key is that programmers are finally realizing that the all or nothing strategy is a losing proposition," he told USA TODAY in an email. "If you force consumers to choose the absurdly bloated expensive bundle, they increasingly are choosing no bundle," Greenfield said. "Programmers are now allowing packages of smaller channels to maintain the health of their most important channels and sacrificing the vast majority of channels that consumers have been forced to take for decades."

DirecTV launches Genre Packs, a more affordable way to get channels you actually want
DirecTV just announced the availability of Genre Packs, which are channel groupings tied to specific interests. The satellite TV provider teased this in January with the introduction of a sports-related bundle, but now there are more to choose from. These new packs include options for news, entertainment and Spanish language content. Just like the MySports subscription, many of these new bundles come with live TV channels and subscriptions to streaming platforms. For instance, the MyEntertainment bundle allows access to around 40 channels, including Bravo and FX, but also includes a subscription to Disney+ with Hulu. That one costs $35 per month, making for a pretty good deal. The MyNews bundle doesn't come with any premium streaming subscriptions, but does allow access to the 24-hour news cycle in all of its brain-melting glory. Purchasers get access to all of the big ones here, including MSNBC, Fox News, CNN and, for some reason, Newsmax. It costs $40 per month, which seems like a lot just to watch a bunch of rich people yell at you, but what do I know. MiEspañol offers access to more than 50 channels, including many Spanish-language stalwarts like Univision and Telemundo. It costs $35 per month. The MySports bundle, introduced in January, is still around, for $70 per month. It provides access to more than 25 sports-related channels and includes a subscription to ESPN+.
