The source spilled the cast was “not given any advance notifications about his exit.”

“Most of the cast were notified that filming was going to begin at the end of the summer. They expected Jax would be a part of the new season because … even as lately as yesterday … he hadn’t said otherwise.”

“This is a huge surprise.”

Jax got the ax:

Fans of The Valley rejoiced after Jax Taylor announced he won’t return for the show’s third season.
