Show Notes
In this episode of Rewind, we crack open the creaky doors of Shining Vale, the satirical horror-comedy that dares to ask: what if your midlife crisis was actually a possession? Featuring interviews with cast members Mira Sorvino, Judith Light, Merrin Dungey, Dylan Gage, Gus Birney, and co-creator Jeff Astrof, we explore the haunted house at the center of the series—and the haunted minds of the characters who live there.
From the ghostly glamour of Rosemary (Sorvino) to the lithium-laced sharpness of Joan (Light), each character offers a layered look at identity, trauma, and transformation. Astrof shares how the show balances horror tropes with biting humor, while the cast reflects on the emotional shifts their characters undergo across two seasons.
🔪👻 Shining Vale originally aired on Starz and is now streaming on Max.
