“Shining Vale” Season 2 – Courteney Cox Series Returns on Friday the 13th [Images]

Last year’s horror-comedy series “Shining Vale” is headed back to Starz for Season 2, and Entertainment Weekly lets us know today that the new season premieres October 13, 2023.

The series stars Emmy Award^® nominee Courteney Cox (“Friends,” Scream), Academy Award^® nominee and Emmy Award^® winner Greg Kinnear (As Good as It Gets, “The Kennedys”) and Oscar^® winner Mira Sorvino (“Hollywood,” “The Expecting”), who are all slated to return for the second season.

Check out “Shining Vale” Season 2 images below and see more over on EW now. In season one of “Shining Vale,” Pat (Cox) and Terry Phelps (Kinnear) cash in their life savings and move from a cramped Brooklyn apartment to an old Victorian mansion in Connecticut, as a last-ditch effort to save their marriage after Pat’s torrid affair with the handyman. Gaynor and Jake are pissed, and as disconnected as teenagers can get. Terry tries to rally the family, but the pushback is relentless. Pat is losing her grip on the kids, and Terry doesn’t see Pat might be losing a grip on herself as well. Buying a giant 200-year-old house for $250K below asking may have seemed like a great deal on paper, but Pat senses that something is off. Doors slam, the piano plays by itself and when an old-fashioned-looking woman appears to hover outside the family window, Pat believes that she is going crazy—or worse. Every family has its demons, but for the Phelps, theirs may be real.

EW previews, “In Season 2, which kicks off four months later, Pat’s insurance runs out and she is released from the psychiatric hospital early. She returns home, determined to pick up the pieces of her broken family, but she quickly finds out her children don’t need her, Terry doesn’t remember her, and to make matters worse, Pat’s new neighbor Ruth looks exactly like Rosemary. As if that wasn’t enough, the house starts to reveal the shocking secrets of its dark past.”

In addition to Cox, Kinnear and Sorvino, the horror comedy also stars Gus Birney (“Dickinson”), Merrin Dungey (“Big Little Lies,” “The Resident”) and Dylan Gage (“PEN15”), and features Judith Light (“Impeachment: American Crime Story”) and Sherilyn Fenn (“Twin Peaks”). “Shining Vale” is executive produced by Jeff Astrof from Other Shoe Productions, Sharon Horgan and Clelia Mountford (“Motherland,” “This Way Up,”) from Merman, Aaron Kaplan (“The Chi,” “The Neighborhood”) 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 one is currently streaming on the STARZ app in the U.S. and Canada and on its international streaming platform STARZPLAY across Europe, Latin America and Japan.
