Tom Schwartz says joining The Valley felt like a “rebirth” — a familiar rebirth, to be precise. Ahead of the series’ Season 3 premiere, the TomTom bar owner shared some insight into his latest small-screen gig, which finds him reuniting with his fellow Vanderpump Rules alums.
How to Watch
The Valley Season 3 premieres on Wednesday, April 1 at 8/7c on Bravo. Episodes stream next day on Peacock.
“It feels so good to be back. Feels like a rebirth in the most organic way,” he said in a recent Q&A for BravoTV. “It doesn’t feel like I’m casted on a new show, you know what I mean? It feels like they just picked up cameras with a different group of friends who I all know and love.”
The Valley Season 3 will mark Tom’s first Bravo show since Vanderpump Rules Season 11 (2023). The latter series was rebooted for Season 12 with an entirely new cast. In the summer of 2023, Bravo expanded its programming with The Valley, a reality show that followed several original SURvers as they navigated their new lives in the suburbs.

According to Tom’s official Season 3 bio, the series will follow the Minnesota native as he begins a romance with his current girlfriend, Kiana Carroll.
“After a few tumultuous years, Tom is eager to settle down and find his forever person, even testing the waters within the friend group,” his bio read. “When a promising romantic interest comes into play, his friends question the validity of the relationship and his dating choices, creating friction for him in the friend group.”
