Courteney CoxandGreg Kinnearare starring in an upcoming horror-comedy for Starz calledShining Vale— and PEOPLE has your first look!
In the show, Cox, 57, and Kinnear, 58, portray married couple Pat and Terry Phelps, who move from a cramped apartment in Brooklyn to an old mansion in Connecticut as a last-ditch effort to save their marriage after her affair.
In PEOPLE’s exclusive clip, the pair tour the old Connecticut mansion together and are given the lay of the land — even learning about an attic that has “plenty of storage.”
“I’m going to be using the attic as my writing annex,” Pat tells the realtor, who then wonders whether the author’s work is something she might be familiar with.
After Terry details Pat’s “first novel,” the realtor responds: “Oh, the lady porn.”
“What was that? 20 years ago?” the real estate agent continues as Pat replies, “No, it was 17 and it’s not porn. It’s a women’s empowerment story about a sex addict that makes bad choices.”
Terry then notes it’s “just a complete work of fiction” and calls it “amazing” after Pat sternly reiterates that it’s a fiction novel.
From there, Pat says she’s “hoping” that moving to the countryside will help her find her muse again. She then questions whether the house’s heat works after noting how “cold” it is.
“Should be! Just give it a bit. I mean, the house has been empty for nearly two years,” the realtor says. “She’s probably not used to having people inside of her!”
