CBS’ upcoming horror-comedy series Ghosts has found its lead in the form of Rose McIver.

Courtesy of Deadline, the iZombie favourite has signed on to headline the pilot offering for Ghosts, with the series being a US take on the British sitcom of the same name which debuted last year.

The official blurb on CBS’ Ghosts reads:

Ghosts follows a young couple, Samantha (Rose 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 clamouring for her attention.

CBS and Lionsgate Television are teaming with BBC Studios for this new take on the IP.
