‘Ghosts’ Cast Tease New Season’s Antics

Ghosts Cast Lights Up NYCC with Season Four Revelations

The Main Stage at New York Comic Con (NYCC) was abuzz Saturday afternoon. Why? The cast of the hit series Ghosts had taken center stage. The atmosphere crackled with anticipation as fans were treated to an episode screening. What followed was a captivating discussion about the much-talked-about series.

A Directing Debut and More

Moderated by CBS Mornings’ Tony Dokoupil, the panel included stars Rose McIver, Brandon Scott Jones, Román Zaragoza, and Sheila Carrasco. The excitement peaked when Episode 2 of Season 4 aired, featuring guest star Dean Norris. McIver praised Norris as “brilliant.” She also dropped a bombshell about directing an upcoming episode. With a playful grin, she joked about donning “a tragic little beret” during her directorial debut. The cast showered her with compliments, acknowledging her multifaceted talents. They even hinted at her tap-dancing prowess in another episode. All of this, mind you, comes post-childbirth, which she humorously noted, has softened her American accent.

New Faces for the Holiday Special

In other tantalizing tidbits, it was revealed that Jay’s parents will debut in the Christmas special. Portrayed by Sakina Jaffrey and Bernard White, their introduction was a hot topic. Zaragoza fondly recalled spending “all day on set” just to bond with them.

Diving Deep into Character Storylines

The conversation transitioned to character development, shedding light on the actors’ journeys. Some even visited the Library of Congress for research. Carrasco joked about using psychedelics for character inspiration. Zaragoza delved deeper, discussing his commitment to authentically representing the Lenape tribe. Collaborating with cultural advisor Joe Baker, he unearthed fascinating historical nuggets like the origins of Wall Street and Pearl Street. The show’s dedication to exploring these narratives was evident. Interestingly, Carrasco and Zaragoza are set to share a scene for the first time.

Anticipated Twists and Turns

As the panel drew to a close, the cast teased more about the season’s surprises. Fans were abuzz over “double possession” hints, urging them to “make of that what you will.” Of historical interest, Alexander Hamilton is set to make an appearance. This could mean big things for Isaac, possibly tipping the scales in his longstanding rivalry.

With three successful seasons under its belt, Ghosts promises a thrilling fourth season filled with intriguing twists and spectral antics. Each ghost, including the infamous Isaac “loudest quiet investor” Higgintoot, seems primed for unforgettable adventures.
