Courteney Cox has signed on for a starring role in the Starz half-hour horror comedy pilot “Shining Vale”.
The story follows 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) who is convinced she is either depressed or possessed.
Pat is a former ‘wild child’ who wrote a famous “Valley of the Dolls”-style novel. Now, seventeen years later, she is clean and sober but unfulfilled in a humdrum marriage with kids and a two-week affair on the side with a musician neighbor.
The series is written and executive produced by Jeff Astrof, with Astrof and Sharon Horgan having written the story.
