Courteney Cox Set to Star in Horror Comedy SHINING VALE at Starz

Courteney Cox, of Friends, Scream, and Cougar Town fame, has landed a new series at Starz called Shining Vale. The half-hour horror comedy comes from Divorce and Motherland creator Sharon Horgan, and Trial & Error creator Jeff Astrof.

Deadline provides this synopsis and character detail:

Shining Vale stems from an idea by Kaplan. The horror-comedy is about 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 Pat (Cox), who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed – turns out, the symptoms are exactly the same.

Cox’s Patricia “Pat” Phelps is a former “wild child” who rose to fame by writing a raunchy, drug-and-alcohol-soaked women’s empowerment novel (aka lady porn). Fast-forward 17 years, and 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, and her teenage kids are at that stage where they love their vile friends and want you dead. She was a faithful wife until her one slip-up: a torrid 15-night stand with a hot, young artist/handyman/musician neighbor. In a last-ditch effort to save her marriage, she and her family move from the “crazy” of the city to a large, old house in the suburbs where evil and humor collide.

This sounds hilarious! Cox is incredibly busy, having just signed on to do a Friends reunion with HBO Max, and with her currently filming the second season of her documentary series, 9 Months with Courteney Cox on Facebook Watch. I am excited to check out this series when it comes to Starz. Will you be checking out Shining Vale?
