7 roles
Fred is effortlessly handsome, incredibly chill, and a natural social butterfly. He possesses a genius-level EQ, making him instantly likable and a hit with the ladies—though his disorganization and inability to say no to a good time have left him with a stalker. Brilliant, adaptable, and a victim of vanity, Fred holds a chem engineering degree. However, after AI took his job, he pivoted to his dream of launching his own ghost exterminating business.
Kenny is a laid-back, jack-of-all-trades with a mechanical mind and blue-collar connections. He’s a fisherman by trade, but with the market collapsing, he’s pivoted to ghost exterminating. Kenny loves a cold beer (often enjoyed on the job), finding clever workarounds to hard labor (which others might call laziness), and a good prank. He’s a natural mentor to Delmer, but often clashes with Justin’s academic methods. He’s comfortable in his own skin, rough around the edges, and fiercely loyal.
A brilliant but tightly wound IT whiz who walked away from tech to chase a childhood dream with his two half-brothers of opening a ghost-hunting startup. With a math PhD and software background, Justin is a true polymath, a Shakespeare nut, and a sarcastic history buff who treats life as a quest to expand his brainpower. What he has in academic genius, he completely lacks in street smarts. He’s thrilled to finally be his own boss (sort of) and step into a new chapter of personal freedom.
Delmer is a friendly, sweet, genuine, and wide-eyed Hutterite runaway standing on the edge of a massive new world. Built with a solid, farm-raised physicality but carrying a deep, untouched innocence, he has spent his entire life in a strict communal society. Now, he is chasing a burning yearning to experience everything he’s never seen: skyscrapers piercing the clouds, bustling shopping malls, roaring sports cars, helicopters, the vast ocean and the electric pulse of big-city nightclubs.
Lily is cute, witty, and fiercely independent. After walking away from a judgmental family, she traded her high heels for boots to chase her dream: running her own farm. She’s earnest, deeply down-to-earth, and entirely back-to-nature—but passion doesn't pay tuition for her ag courses. Enter Johnson Paranormal. To fund her late-night studying, she’s taken a gig as the agency's secretary. Balancing spreadsheets, ghost sightings, and goat feed, Lily is a grounded force in a chaotic world.
Ms. GUNDERSON is your friendly neighborhood grandma. She’s sweet, independent, slightly oblivious, devoted to her baking and prized cactus, and isn't afraid to unwind with a THC gummy. But her cozy world is turned upside down by an overwhelming ghost presence that's taking over her home. [We are looking for an actress who can balance warmth and genuine vulnerability, as she faces the supernatural and keeps an embarrassing secret. Open to any ethnicity]
Tony is the ultimate contradiction: a chill, uber-organized, and ruthlessly violent drug importer who believes in giving back. When he isn't managing high-stakes international logistics or handling business with cold precision, he’s funding charities and cheering on neighborhood sports teams. He runs his empire like a Fortune 500 company, but his meticulously ordered life has just been thrown into chaos. An annoying ghost has moved into his estate, wreaking havoc on his sanity and bottom line.
