Courteney Cox is set to follow up her Gale Weathers return in this week’s Scream by teaming with Greg Kinnear for the new horror-comedy series Shining Vale, which follows a married couple who move to an old house in the suburbs in a last-gasp attempt to save their failing marriage, only to discover the property has a storied past of its own.
Check out the newly released first look clip from the upcoming Starz series below, and head on over to our YouTube channel for a video review of Courteney Cox’s latest horror Scream…
Patricia “Pat” Phelps (Courteney Cox) is a former “wild child” who rose to fame by writing a raunchy, drug-and-alcohol-soaked women’s empowerment novel (a.k.a. lady porn). Fast forward 17 years later, Pat is clean and sober but totally unfulfilled. She still hasn’t written her second novel, she can’t remember the last time she had sex with her husband (Greg Kinnear), and her teenage kids are at that stage where they want you dead. She was a faithful wife until her one slip-up: she had a torrid affair with the hot, young handyman who came over to fix the sink while Terry was at work. In a last-ditch effort to save their marriage, she and Terry cash in all their savings and move the family move from the “crazy” of the city to a large, old house in the suburbs that has a storied past of its own. Everyone has their demons, but for Pat Phelps, they may be real.
Shining Vale premieres on March 6th on Starz.
