Courteney Cox has found her new TV husband: Greg Kinnear (House of Cards, Rake) will star opposite the Friends vet in the Starz horror-comedy pilot Shining Vale, our sister site Deadline reports.
The potential series is about a dysfunctional family that moves into a small-town house “in which terrible atrocities have taken place.
