Starz has dropped the official Shining Vale trailer for the upcoming horror comedy-drama, starring Courteney Cox and Greg Kinnear. It is scheduled to make its debut on March 6.
The video, which you can check out below along with the key art, features a struggling writer who moves into an old house with her family in order to start a new life and find some inspiration for her book. However, she’ll soon find out that they’re not alone as she meets the ghost of a 1950s housewife who helps her write her next big hit.

Shining Vale is created and executive produced by Jeff Astrof (Trial & Error) and Sharon Horgan (Game Night). It stars Golden Globe nominee Courteney Cox (Friends), Emmy winner Greg Kinnear (The Stand), Oscar winner Mira Sorvino (Hollywood), Merrin Dungey (The King of Queens), Golden Globe winner Judith Light (Transparent), Gus Birney (Dickinson) and Dylan Gage (PEN15).
“The series is a horror comedy about a dysfunctional family that moves from the city to a small town into a house in which terrible atrocities have taken place,” reads the synopsis. “But no one seems to notice except for Pat, who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed – turns out, the symptoms are exactly the same. Patricia “Pat” Phelps 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, 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.”
