Interview with the director and producer
Ghostwriter was developed for television by J.J. Johnson and Emmy award-winner Andrew Orenstein. Academy Award-winning and DGA Award-nominated Luke Matheny directs the first episode.
When asked about what they felt was the reason the show has resonated with fans, Orenstein responded, “Well, I think it’s a great formula of mysteries. We worked really hard to get these cliffhangers at the end of these arcs. So I think that kids like trying to solve the mystery, which is not a simple mystery. Plus the kind of formula of mystery, friendship, and real-world issues. And then also, there’s a lot of fun with characters that come here to help you.”
“With this new season we were able to reinvent the show in some ways, where we kept this core mystery but then added these new actors and new ghosts,” added writer, producer, and lead director on the series Matheny. “It gave us more opportunities to take the show in directions we hadn’t thought of when we first started out.”
