He&#8217;s very passionate about the show, and who can blame him? It&#8217;s a great series, with an amazing mixture of comedy, drama and humor. It also has a wonderful cast: Courtney Cox, Greg Kinnear, Mira Sorvino, Merrin Dungey, Judith Light, Sherilyn Fenn, Allison Tolman, Gus Birney and Dylan Gage. I love it because it&#8217;s horror, but it&#8217;s not gross like so many horror movies or shows are.<\/p>\n<p>If you missed the first season, you can stream it now on the Starz site, Amazon or ROKU. It&#8217;s definitely worth watching, and Jeff is justifiably proud of all of their efforts. You don&#8217;t want to miss season two, which premieres &#8220;October 13 at midnight ET on the Starz app, all Starz streaming and on-demand platforms and on Lionsgate+ streaming platform in the U.K. and Ireland; on linear at 9 p.m. ET\/PT in the U.S. and Canada.

Jeff came to prominence as one of the original writers of \u201cFriends,\u201d<br \/>\nwhere he co-wrote several notable episodes, including \u201cThe One After the Super Bowl\u201d<br \/>\nwhich was seen by over 51 million viewers. Additionally, his background work on the<br \/>\nshow as \u201chot guy at party\u201d, \u201cguy late for plane\u201d and \u201cdisappointed hockey fan\u201d remain<br \/>\nexamples of overacting to this day. Jeff also wrote on all five seasons of \u201cThe New<br \/>\nAdventures of Old Christine,\u201d where Julia Louis-Dreyfus won her first post-Seinfeld<br \/>\nEmmy, and he was co-creator of the critically-acclaimed \u201cTrial &amp; Error,\u201d starring John<br \/>\nLithgow and Kristin Chenoweth. \u201cShining Vale\u201d reunites Jeff with fellow \u201cFriends\u201d alum<br \/>\nCourteney Cox. As EP\/Showrunner of the show, Jeff has mandated that he is not<br \/>\nallowed to act in it.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>About \u201cShining\u00a0Vale\u201d<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Season one of \u201cShining\u00a0Vale\u201d introduced Pat and Terry Phelps, a dysfunctional family that tried to run from their problems by moving their kids into a Victorian mansion in small-town Connecticut. The only problem? It may be haunted. Once settled in, Pat encountered Rosemary, a demon who possessed her body and turned her life upside down. When the family steps in to \u201csave\u201d Pat, they commit her to a psychiatric hospital where she sees an old photo of a nurse who looks just like her demon Rosemary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Season two<\/strong>\u00a0kicks off four months later, when Pat\u2019s insurance runs out and she is released from the psychiatric hospital early. Pat returns home, determined to pick up the pieces of her broken family, but she quickly finds out her children don\u2019t need her, Terry doesn\u2019t remember her and to make matters worse, Pat\u2019s new neighbor Ruth looks exactly like Rosemary. Meanwhile, the house starts to reveal the shocking secrets of its dark past. Every mother feels like they live in an insane asylum, but Pat may be right!<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>\u201cShining\u00a0Vale\u201d Online<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Twitter: @ShiningVale | @STARZ<\/p>\n<p>Instagram: @ShiningValeSTARZ\u00a0 | @STARZ<\/p>\n<p>Facebook: @ShiningValeSTARZ | @STARZ<\/p>\n<p>Join the conversation with #ShiningVale and #STARZ<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShining\u00a0Vale\u201d season two is set to premiere on\u00a0<strong>Friday, October 13th, at midnight ET on the STARZ app, all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms\u00a0<\/strong>and on LIONSGATE+ streaming platform in the U.K. and Ireland.\u00a0<strong>On linear, it will debut on STARZ on Friday, October 13th, at 9PM ET\/PT in the U.S. and Canada.<\/strong>\u00a0New episodes will be available to stream weekly on Fridays at midnight on the STARZ app, all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms and will air weekly on the STARZ linear platform.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2022\/03\/06\/astrof\/\">Our Interview with Jeff for Season One of &#8220;Shining Vale.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Proofread and Edited by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2020\/06\/20\/biobrenda\/\">Brenda<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/index.php\/interviews\/\">Back to the Primetime Articles and Interviews Page<\/a><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-50124\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/svl2-cp-3up-stz-talent-asoc-oct13-1200x1800-1.png\" alt=\"&quot;Shining Vale&quot; on Starz key art\" width=\"213\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/svl2-cp-3up-stz-talent-asoc-oct13-1200x1800-1.png 267w, https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/svl2-cp-3up-stz-talent-asoc-oct13-1200x1800-1-200x300.png 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TV Interview! &nbsp; Interview with EP Jeff Astrof of &#8220;Shining Vale&#8221; on Starz by Suzanne 10\/10\/23 It was really fun to speak with Jeff. again.\u00a0 He wears a lot of hats as no only Co-Creator of the show, but also Writer, Showrunner and Executive Producer.
