For those Oscar nominees whose eight categories are sidelined in a pre-show, it’s a slap in the face, but for Netflix Co-CEO and Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos, it’s just business.

Courteney Cox believes that women “go through a lot” once they reach a certain age.

Caroline Framke Chief TV CriticThe blunt opening title card of “Shining Vale” feels like a test: “Women are twice as likely as men to suffer from depression,” it reads, seeming to signal the beginning of a clunky show about Women and Depression — at least until the next sentence appears onscreen. “Women are also twice as likely to be possessed by a demon,” it says, a immediate and deliberate wink of self-awareness at an audience that might’ve already tried to write the show off.

Shining Vale, Starz’ new horror comedy co-created by Sharon Horgan (Catastrophe) and Jeff Astrof (Trial & Error), that’s the point. Leaning into clichés in order to answer the question “What if The Shining was a sitcom starring Courteney Cox?”, this eight-part series (served in bingeable, thirty-minute morsels) juggles jump scares and jokes at a rate of knots, whilst trying to dissect the ways in which women’s trauma is so often either demonised or dismissed out of hand.

scream when she thought she encountered a ghost in her LA home.The “Scream” star, 57, recounted the horror tale on a recent episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” — and shared why she felt she had to actually sell her Laurel Canyon pad because of it.Cox stars in the upcoming Starz horror-comedy series “Shining Vale,” and host Jimmy Kimmel, 54, asked her if she ever saw a ghost herself.“I didn’t believe it at first,” she said, adding that her house once was owned by burlesque dancer Gypsy Rose Lee, as well as singer/songwriter Carole King.The “Friends” actress then revealed that King, 80, came over to have a séance with her to banish the spirit from the property. However, Cox was too awestruck by the Grammy-winner to pay attention to their supernatural activity.

Courteney Cox was spotted looking glamorous while out and about in New York City this week after admitting that she didn’t realise her injectables made her look ‘strange’. The 57-year-old Friends actress was running errands while anticipating the premiere of the horror comedy series Shining Vale, which will take place this Sunday. Courteney was spotted wrapped up in a sleek coat over a bronze blouse that caught the light and glinted in the sunshine.

Friends star, who is best for playing Monica Geller in the hit sitcom as well as her role in the Scream franchise, appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday (28 February) to promote upcoming horror-comedy series Shining Vale.When Kimmel asked Cox if she had encountered any ghosts herself, following a discussion of the eerie new show, she revealed she had in fact experienced one.“I have had one,” she replied, before going on to explain that she had owned a property in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles that previously belonged to burlesque performer Gypsy Rose Lee, and subsequently Carole King.When King came to visit one day, the singer told her that there had “been a divorce that was really ugly,” and there was “a ghost in the house,” Cox told Kimmel. “And I was like, ‘Yeah, whatever.’“But other people who had stayed there with me, like friends of mine, said they felt an encounter with a woman who was sitting on the edge of the bed.”Although Cox didn’t initially take the reports seriously, she said, she later had an experience that changed her mind.

Scott Huver Between “Friends” and the “Scream” franchise, Courteney Cox knew that playing both comedy and horror were well within her wheelhouse — but something told her that the new Starz series “Shining Vale” would test her skills in unprecedented ways.“Such a dramatic role that also was comedic was a balance that I hadn’t played in quite this way,” Cox said at Monday’s series premiere at TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood, where she was joined by co-stars Greg Kinnear, Mira Sorvino, Judith Light and Rob Morrow, as well as a familiar face from her TV past, Lisa Kudrow. “It’s a part that I’m just not used to being able to challenge, and it got me really excited about acting again.” “Shining Vale” was conceived by co-creators Sharon Horgan (”Catastrophe”) and former “Friends” writer Jeff Astrof as a comedic riff on “The Shining.” Cox plays Pat, a “lady porn” novelist struggling with writers’ block and depression who, after cheating on her husband (Kinnear), seeks a fresh start by moving her dysfunctional family into a new home with an increasingly unsettling vibes – and some unexpected ethereal occupants, like Sorvino’s perfectly put-together 50s-era spirit.Astrof said he immediately fell for the concept floated by Horgan.
