Horror dramedy “Shining Vale” premieres Sunday, March 6, on Starz with two back-to-back episodes. The series follows Pat (Cox) as she tries to finish a novel on time after moving with her family to Shining Vale, Connecticut. The only problem? Her husband Terry (Greg Kinnear) seems distant, her kids (Gus Birney and Dylan Gage) hate it, and the new mansion is definitely haunted by glam ghost, Rosemary (Mira Sorvino). Created by Jeff Astrof (“Trial & Error”) and Sharon Horgan (“Divorce”), “Shining Vale” co-stars Merrin Dungey, Judith Light, and Sherilyn Fenn. As Pat wields an ax à la “The Shining,” it seems that dead ’50s housewife Rosemary may be trying to take over her body. The duo begin writing together, partying together, and… maybe even murdering together? There must be easier ways to curb writers’ block, right?
“Everyone has their demons, but for Pat Phelps, they may be real,” the series logline reads. And of course, it’s only Pat who senses another presence in the house that apparently was the site of a triple murder-suicide decades ago.

Cox previously shared a behind-the-scenes Instagram video while filming “Shining Vale” in August 2021. “We’re at stage five, which is right here on our right,” Cox told fans, citing a full circle moment over 25 years later. “This is where ‘Friends’ started in 1994, and is now occupied by a show called ‘Shining Vale,’ starring me.” “Shining Vale” premieres March 6 on Starz.
