CBS’s breakout hit comedy Ghosts will be making its San Diego Comic-Con debut with a panel, “Friend Zone” activation, and the first look at footage from season two. The ensemble cast is making the trek to San Diego for the in-person pop culture event, with the Ghosts panel planned for Thursday, July 21st at 1pm PT.
CBS also has plans for those who can’t make it to the Southern California convention. Beginning July 21st, Ghosts fans can visit Woodstone Mansion via the Metaverse.
According to CBS, fans can take “an immersive journey through the haunted Woodstone Mansion to solve puzzles, undertake quests and earn limited edition, collectible NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). The Ghosts mansion was meticulously recreated using actual blueprints and features surprising interactions with the show’s main characters.”
Season two will premiere on Thursday, September 29, 2022 at 8:30pm ET/PT (its new time slot).
Ghosts at San Diego Comic-Con:
Panel – July 21, 2022 in Ballroom 20
The full cast, including “livings” Rose McIver and Utkarsh Ambudkar, as well as “ghosts” Brandon Scott Jones, Richie Moriarty, Danielle Pinnock, Asher Grodman, Román Zaragoza, Sheila Carrasco, Rebecca Wisocky and Devan Chandler Long, and executive producers Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, will take part in a panel discussion. The panel will be moderated by series guest star Matt Walsh and will treat fans with never-before-seen footage.
The Activation:
As part of CBS’s “Summer of GHOSTS” immersive marketing campaign honoring the “recently departed” first season and its upcoming sophomore season this fall, Ghosts will show up in San Diego with Pinecone Trooper Pete’s “Friend Zone,” an activation with a campsite feel in honor of scout leader ghost Pete, whose unfortunate archery accident left him with an arrow through his neck for eternity.
The activation will be set up at the Interactive Zone at Petco Park from July 21-24, and will feature a “scare-free” archery activation – but nothing is what it seems at this campsite setup on ‘the lawn’ of The Woodstone Mansion – the show’s setting and home to the ghosts. Fans can connect with Ghosts and ‘the other side’ through psychic mediums and programming that’ll give attendees insight into their past, present, and future lives.
