Shining Vale: Release Date, Trailer, Cast, Plot, and More!

We all have our inner demons, but some people are more literal than others. That’s the premise of “Shining Vale,” a new Starz horror-comedy series starring Courteney Cox, Greg Kinnear, and Mira Sorvino. The series will mark Cox’s return to horror. The “Friends” actress was one of the stars of the “Scream” horror franchise. The Starz show will follow Cox as Patricia “Pat” Phelps, a writer who can’t come to grips with her past, or the past of her new suburban home.

Shining Vale: Casts and Plot!

Shining Vale” follows a dysfunctional family that moves from the city to a small town. Their house was the site of terrible atrocities, but the only one who notices is the mother, Pat, who becomes convinced she’s either depressed or possessed. Relatable, honestly. Pat rose to fame by writing a raunchy women’s empowerment novel full of sex, drugs, and bad behavior, inspired by her wild-child years. Now, 17 years later, she’s clean and sober and bored out of her mind. She hasn’t been able to write a follow-up novel, she and her husband (Kinnear) never have sex, and her teenage kids hate her guts.

In addition to Kinnear and Cox, veteran actress Mira Sorvino stars in “Shining Valley” as a character called Rosemary, whom only Pat can see. Pat isn’t sure if Rosemary is her alter ego, her id, or a demon trying to possess her. Merrin Dungey plays Kam, Pat’s oldest friend, and book editor. Pat and Terry’s teenage daughter Gaynor will be played by “The Mist” star Gus Birney, while their teenage son Jake will be played by “Fear Street Part II: 1978” star Dylan Gage.
