In an exclusive announcement from Deadline back in October, Freeform has greenlit “Ghosting” — an upcoming holiday movie slated for the 2019 season.
Lisa Kudrow and Dan Bucatinsky will serve as executive producers, along with Joan Rater and Tony Phelan, for the film that stars Aisha Dee (“The Bold Type”), Kimiko Glenn (“The Guest Book”), Kendrick Sampson (“How to Get Away with Murder”) and Missi Pyle (“Mom”).
As reported by Deadline, the quirky and heart-warming story follows Jess (Dee), who goes on the greatest first date of her life, but inadvertently ‘ghosts’ Ben (Sampson) when she tragically dies in a car accident on the way home. Stuck on Earth, with no idea how to ascend, Jess will need the help of her best friend Kara (Glenn), the only person who can still see and hear her.
To be honest, the plot sounds a bit too sad for Freeform’s 25 Days of Christmas jolly programming but, considering it’s slated for their holiday season, we might see its premiere during the Countdown to 25 Days of Christmas lineup that begins late November.
Stay merry!
