Greg Kinnear (The Stand) and Mira Sorvino (Mimic) co-star.
STARZ has greenlit an eight-episode series order.
Christina Davis, STARZ President of Original Programming, said in a statement: “Shining Vale is a smart, chilling and funny series that tells the story of a family in turmoil who is suddenly living with a paranormal who helps Courteney Cox’s character get her groove back as she starts to question her own sanity. This group of talented actors, executive producers, and director blends comedy and horror brilliantly throughout this series which exemplifies the network’s commitment to improving female representation on and off the screen.”

The series centers on a dysfunctional family that moves from the city to a small town into a house where terrible atrocities may have occurred. No one seems to notice except for Patricia “Pat” Phelps (Cox), who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed. Turns out, the symptoms are exactly the same.
Kinnear plays Cox’s ever-optimistic husband, whose patience and self-control will be tested like never before. Sorvino is Rosemary, who’s either Pat’s alter ego, a split personality, or a demon trying to possess her. Dungey plays Pat’s book editor, oldest friend. Birney and Gage star as Pat and Terry’s teenage kids. The cast also includes Merrin Dungey (Big Little Lies), Gus Birney (Dickinson), and Dylan Gage (PEN15).

Jeff Astrof (Trial & Error) and Sharon Horgan (Game Night) co-created the series.
