Starz has canceled its horror-comedy Shining Vale after two seasons.

The series, starring Courteney Cox as a woman who begins seeing and communicating with ghosts, finished its second (and now final season) on Dec. 1. In addition to canceling the show, Starz will also remove Shining Vale from its streaming library at the end of the month.

Jeff Astrof, who co-created Shining Vale with Sharon Horgan, shared news of the show’s end on social media Wednesday. “This show gave me unrelenting joy to work on. Not a single bad day. Please watch the Starz (turns out, Limited) series Shining Vale before 12/31,” he wrote.

Shining Vale earned generally positive reviews for its first season, which premiered in March 2022. It earned a renewal in May of that year, with season two premiering in October 2023. It was less successful in drawing viewers; sources say that was ultimately behind the decision to both cancel the show and pull it down from Starz’s platforms.

In addition to Cox, the series stars Greg Kinnear, Gus Birney, Dylan Gage, Mira Sorvino and Merrin Dungey. Warner Bros. TV and Starz parent Lionsgate TV produced Shining Vale. Astrof served as showrunner and executive produced with Horgan and Clelia Mountford of Merman Productions and Aaron Kaplan of Kapital Entertainment. Cox was a producer.
