The first season of Shining Vale saw Cox's Patricia and her family relocate to the eponymous backwater town in Connecticut to escape scandal. But the enormous, antiquated house they move into is – you guessed it – haunted.
The spectre of Rosemary Wellingham (Mira Sorvino in sensationally devilish form), who murdered her husband there many years ago, begins to appear to Pat. Cue the inevitable deal with the devil, as Pat allows Rosemary to inhabit her body to help her write her next novel. You don't have to have read Faust to know that that little arrangement rarely ends well.
After season 1 ended with Pat strapped to a gurney and wheeled into a psychiatric ward, the new season begins with her back at home and — apparently — 'rehabilitated'. Any hopes, however, of making a fresh start with her family and career are vanquished when her husband (Greg Kinnear) and two teenage kids also start seeing visions of their own.
"I can help you... but it will cost you", Rosemary tempts Pat in the season 2 trailer. Surely, she's not going to make that mistake again...
