Just over one year after cancelling their horror-comedy series “Ash vs. Evil Dead,” Deadline reports today that Starz has ordered a pilot episode of a new horror-comedy, “Shining Vale.”
The half-hour horror-comedy comes from “Divorce” creator Sharon Horgan, “Trial & Error” co-creator Jeff Astrof and Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment.
“Written by Horgan and Astrof, Shining Vale 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, the mom, who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed — turns out, the symptoms are exactly the same. Everyone has their demons — but are Pat’s real? Or is this the portrait of a typical family torn apart by mental illnes?”
Deadline notes that the series was originally set up at Showtime, who ultimately passed.
