Rose McIver (“iZombie”) has been set to lead the pilot for potential CBS comedy series “Ghosts,” Deadline reports this week. The project is based on the same-titled British sitcom.
“Ghosts follows a young couple, Samantha (McIver) and Ryan, whose dreams come true when they inherit a beautiful country house, only to find it’s both falling apart and inhabited by many of the deceased previous residents.”
“McIver’s Samantha is a put together, Type A personality who loves fun, but not as much as she loves planning fun. A freelance journalist, Sam and her sous chef husband, Ryan, spend so much time trying to make ends meet that they barely have time for each other, so when she inherits a massive country estate, she’s eager to move there, rent free. A great listener and a genuinely good person, Sam strives to help the ghosts, even while being driven a bit crazy by their constant clamoring for her attention.”
Deadline notes that “the single-camera comedy pilot comes from Joe Port & Joe Wiseman, Lionsgate Television, BBC Studios and CBS Television Studios.”
