Pat is back.
Four months and sixty-six shock treatments after hitting her husband Terry (Greg Kinnear) with an axe, Pat (Courteney Cox) finds herself released from a psychiatric hospital at the start ofShining Vale’ssecond season, premiering Oct. 13 on Starz.
Jeff Astrof,Shining Vale’sco-creator, executive producer and showrunner, promises the new season will continue the series' horror-comedy ways.
“The fun ofShining Valeis creating a world that exists at the nexus of character-based comedy and psychological horror," Astrof says. “Our goal was to never slip into spoof, but rather to have our characters, and hopefully our audience, experience true terror, but in a very funny way.”
