Courteney Cox is looking to cut through her writer’s block — with an axe.
The ‘Scream’ star is joining Greg Kinnear (‘As Good As It Gets,’ ‘The Kennedys’) and Mira Sorvino (‘Hollywood,’ ‘Expecting’) in STARZ upcoming horror comedy, ‘Shining Vale.’
A family dramedy that takes a few cues from classic, haunted house horror, ‘Shining Vale’ will premiere its first two episodes on STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms internationally on Sunday, March 6th at midnight, with a premiere on linear at 10:20 PM ET/PT in the US and Canada.
In the just-released trailer from STARZ, we see Cox and Kinnear as a married couple, who’s just moved into a large, isolated house, where Cox’s character, a writer, is hoping to get some work done on her latest novel. Only adding to her writer’s block, family problems, and new home are encounters with a ghostly presence roaming through the house — a cheeky spirit only she can see. It’s a midlife crisis gone supernatural.
Check out the trailer for the series:
Here’s more from ‘Shining Vale’’s official synopsis:
“Pat and Terry Phelps (Cox and Kinnear) cash in their life savings and move from a cramped apartment in Brooklyn, to an old Victorian mansion in Shining Vale, Connecticut as a last-ditch effort to save their marriage…
But neither Terry nor the couple’s kids seem to notice that something is horribly wrong with their new home; only Pat can see things move and hear the bumps in the night. She’s also the only one who sees the spirit of the person who used to live there, Rosemary (Sorvino), a Fifties housewife who may or may not be trying to take over Pat’s body. Is Pat depressed, or possessed? Turns out the symptoms are exactly the same.”
The half-hour series, executive produced and co-written by Jeff Astrof, also stars Gus Birney (‘Dickinson’), Merrin Dungey (‘Big Little Lies’) and Dylan Gage (‘PEN15’), and features Judith Light (‘Impeachment: American Crime Story’) and Sherilyn Fenn (‘Twin Peaks’).
