Starz orders horror comedy pilot Shining Vale from Sharon Horgan

Deadline

Shining Vale, written by Horgan and Jeff Astrof, tells the story of a "dysfunctional family that moves from the city to a small town into a house in which terrible atrocities have taken place," per Deadline. "But no one seems to notice except for Pat, the mom, who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed — turns out, the symptoms are exactly the same. Everyone has their demons — but are Pat’s real? Or is this the portrait of a typical family torn apart by mental illness. Done in a funny, scary way."
