‘Ghosts’ Star Rose McIver on How Making a Sitcom Helps Her Process Mortality
22.06.2022 - 00:51 / variety.com
Selome Hailu Rose McIver is no stranger to the supernatural, with a filmography including cult favorites such as “Xena: Warrior Princess” and “iZombie.” Her most recent project, the CBS sitcom “Ghosts” in which she stars as Samantha Arondekar, is more grounded than those … but only minimally.Based on a British series of the same name, “Ghosts” follows Sam and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar), a young married couple who move into a mansion that’s falling apart in upstate New York after inheriting it from a Sam’s distant relative. After Sam falls (or is invisibly tripped?) down a flight of stairs and almost dies, she wakes up from her coma with the ability to see ghosts — and there are eight living in her new home.
Jay can’t see them, but believes Sam, and the new family of ten must learn to coexist peacefully. While actively shooting Season 2, McIver spoke to Variety about finding her place within an adaptation and how playing Rose has touched her own life.How much or how little of the original British series did you watch to prepare for this role?I’ve watched the first few episodes of the original British series.
At some point I’m going to dive in and finish it, but I really wanted to have some good momentum going with what we were creating, without feeling like we were just trying to do an imitation. I’m a huge fan of the first few that I’ve seen, but I just didn’t want to psych myself out too much by watching Charlotte [Ritchie] absolutely nail the performance the way she does.
I wanted to build my own thing.The roadmap is the same. We have the same premise, some of the same characters.
