Hall called the dialogue "slanguage" and acknowledged that many viewers may have to keep the captions on to understand everything being said on P-Valley. She said it's a mix of her, her family's, and her ancestors' accents.

Is 'P-Valley' based on a true story?

P-Valley isn't directly based on a true story, but it is based on the stageplay of the same name by the show's creator. P-Valley's showrunner told The New York Times that she spent a lot of time in strip clubs growing up in the American South. "I celebrated birthdays there," she said. "I went to a baby shower in a strip club once. I did a lot of coming-of-age things at strip clubs."

According to The Sun, Hall had been interviewing dancers for more than a decade so she could portray them in an authentic way. In the interview with Deadline, Hall said she went to more than 40 clubs in her research for P-Valley and discovered what it's truly like to be a dancer.

"I just remember having conversations four and five times with certain women, in order to dig into the truth as to why they chose to dance. Or, how the dance chose them, and to find out those stories as well," Hall said.
