Ghosts is hands down one of the most delightful new shows. It’s got an A+ behind-the-scenes team led by showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, but there’s one particular standout quality of the series that just plain old doesn’t work without spot-on casting. It’s the show's ability to switch from deeply emotional moments to laugh-out-loud one-liners on a dime.
Just in case you’ve yet to jump into this joy of a show, Ghosts on CBS is an adaptation of the British series of the same name. Rose McIver leads as Sam, a woman who moves into a home she inherits with her husband Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar). One day, she falls down the stairs and when she comes to, she realizes she can see the ghosts of people who have died on the property. Those ghosts include Asher Grodman’s Trevor, a Wall Street bro who died in 2000, Danielle Pinnock’s Alberta, a Prohibition-era jazz singer, Brandon Scott Jones’ Isaac, an American Revolutionary officer, and Rebecca Wisocky’s Hetty who’s actually one of Sam’s ancestors.
With Ghosts set to return for a second season on September 29th, the entire cast came to San Diego Comic-Con to celebrate, and while there, they took a moment to swing by the Collider interview studio for a chat about their experience making Season 1 and to tease what’s to come in Season 2.
Check out what McIver, Wisocky, Pinnock, Jones, McIver, and Grodman told us in this interview!
