What’s This TV Show About?

Airing on the Starz cable channel, the Shining Vale TV show stars Courteney Cox, Greg Kinnear, Gus Birney, Merrin Dungey, Dylan Gage, and Mira Sorvino. The story begins as a dysfunctional family moves from the city to a small town, into a house where terrible atrocities have taken place. Wife and mother Patricia “Pat” Phelps (Cox) is a former “wild child” who rose to fame by writing a raunchy, drug-and-alcohol-soaked women’s empowerment novel 17 years ago. Pat is now clean and sober but totally unfulfilled. She still hasn’t written her second novel, can’t remember the last time she had sex with her ever-optimistic husband, Terry (Kinnear), and her teenage kids — Gaynor (Birney) and Jake (Gageare) — are at that stage where they don’t want their mother in their lives. Pat is convinced she’s either depressed or possessed. It turns out that the symptoms are exactly the same. Everyone has their demons, but for Pat Phelps, they may be real.
 

Season One Ratings

The first season of Shining Vale averaged a 0.02 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 158,000 viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how Shining Vale stacks up against other Starz TV shows.
 

Telly’s Take

Will Starz cancel or renew Shining Vale for season two? The door was left open for another season in the season finale so,  I think it has a good chance of being renewed. That being said, the ratings could have been a lot better. I’ll update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on Shining Vale cancellation or renewal news.
