Courteney Cox is set for a return to horror in the upcoming Starz pilot “Shining Vale,” and we’ve learned today via Deadline that Greg Kinnear will be starring alongside the actress.
The half-hour horror-comedy comes from “Divorce” creator Sharon Horgan and “Trial & Error” co-creator Jeff Astrof, as well as Warner Bros. Television and Lionsgate.
Dearbhla Walsh (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) will direct the pilot.
“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 (Cox), 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 illness?”
“Kinnear will play Terry Phelps, Pat’s sweet, sensitive husband.”
