Courteney Cox and Greg Kinnear's Horror Comedy Series SHINING VALE Gets a Premiere Date at Starz
Starz has announced that its upcoming horror comedy series Shining Vale is set to premiere on March 6th, at 10pm. The series stars Courteney Cox, Greg Kinnear, Mira Sorvino, Gus Birney, and Dylan Gage. This actually sounds like it’ll be a fun show to watch!
Shining Vale is described as “part family comedy mixed with an homage to classic horror.” The story centers on a “dysfunctional family that moves from the city to a small town into a house in which terrible atrocities have taken place. But no one seems to notice except for Patricia ‘Pat’ Phelps (Cox), who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed – turns out, the symptoms are exactly the same.
“Pat is a former ‘wild child’ who “rose to fame by writing a raunchy, drug-and-alcohol-soaked women’s empowerment novel (a.k.a. lady porn). Now 17 years later, Pat is clean and sober but totally unfulfilled. She still hasn’t written her second novel, she can’t remember the last time she had sex with her husband, Terry (Kinnear), and her teenage kids Gaynor (Birney) and Jake (Gage) want nothing to do with her. She was a faithful wife until her one slip-up: she had a torrid affair with the hot, young handyman who came over to fix the sink while Terry was at work. In a last-ditch effort to save their marriage, she and Terry cash in all their savings and move the family move from the ‘crazy’ of the city to a large, old house in the suburbs that has a storied past of its own. Everyone has their demons, but for Pat Phelps, they may be real.”
Shining Vale was created and written by Trial & Error co-creator Jeff Astrof and Divorce creator Sharon Horgan. Lionsgate and Warner Bros. Television co-produce the series in association with Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment, Astrof’s Other Shoe Productions as well as Horgan and Clelia Mountford’s Merman.
