“Shining Vale” stars Emmy Award–nominee Courteney Cox (“Friends,” “Cougar Town”), Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner Greg Kinnear (“As Good as It Gets,” “The Kennedys”), and Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino (“Hollywood,” “The Expecting”). The series centers on a family moving from a small town into a house where terrible atrocities have occurred. But nobody seems to notice except for Pat (Cox), who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed—it turns out the symptoms are exactly the same.
Here’s the season two synopsis:
The hysterical, spine-chilling trailer and teases the repercussions following last season’s nail-biting cliffhanger when Pat (Courteney Cox) landed herself in a psychiatric hospital for trying to murder her family with an ax. Pat (Cox) went through extensive Electroshock Therapy, and when she returns home she meets a mysterious woman who introduces her to a host of ancient remedies used to “cure” women of depression, including the apocryphal Smile Masks. Season two explores what’s in store for the Phelps family as they continue to be haunted by ghosts while Pat struggles to live with mental illness among a broken family, battling demons both internally…and externally.
In addition to Cox, Kinnear and Sorvino, “Shining Vale” also stars Gus Birney (“Dickinson”), Merrin Dungey (“Big Little Lies,” “The Resident”), and Dylan Gage (“PEN15”), and features Emmy Award® nominees Judith Light (“Poker Face”), Allison Tolman (“Gaslit,” “Why Women Kill”) and Sherilyn Fenn (“Twin Peaks”).
“Shining Vale” is executive produced by Jeff Astrof (“Trial and Error”) from Other Shoe Productions, Sharon Horgan and Clelia Mountford (“Bad Sisters,” “Motherland”) from Merman, and Aaron Kaplan (“The Chi,” “The Neighborhood”) and Melanie Frankel from Kapital Entertainment. Courteney Cox also serves as a producer. The series is co-created by Astrof and Horgan. The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television and Lionsgate Television in association with Other Shoe Productions, Merman, and Kapital Entertainment.
“Shining Vale” season two arrives Friday, October 13 at midnight on STARZ. Watch the new trailer below.
