Greg Kinnear Joins Courtney Cox in Starz's Horror-Comedy SHINING VALE
Greg Kinnear is set to star alongside Courtney Cox in the upcoming Starz horror-comedy, Shining Vale. The series centers around “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.”
Kinnear will take on the role of a character named Terry, Pat’s husband. He is described as “a sweet, sensitive guy who enjoys a good laugh almost as much as a good cry. He assumed he was married to the perfect wife until she had an affair with their young handyman, destroying the kitchen island, and maybe his marriage. Ever the optimist, Terry is willing to do whatever it takes to keep his family together, including intensive couples therapy and cashing in all his assets to buy an Old Victorian house in the suburbs of Connecticut, trading his 12-minute commute for a 90-minute train ride into the city.”
This sounds like an interesting story that will make for a great series. I also love the two lead stars. They are both going to be fantastic in the roles that they play. The pilot episode will shoot before Starz decides whether or not they want to pick it up for a full season.
The Shining Vale pilot was written and executive produced by Jeff Astrof, with Astrof and Sharon Horgan having written the story. Dearbhla Walsh will direct and executive produce the pilot. Warner Bros. Television and Lionsgate Television will produce.
