In an interview with Variety, McIver spoke about directing an episode in Ghosts season 4 for the first time and how she enjoyed putting together the vision the showrunners had. Far from being nervous, McIver loved her directorial debut and was excited to step into the role, especially for a show she is passionate about:
“What appeals to me about directing it is just dropping into something that already exists, being a gun for hire, and being able to see the vision that the showrunners are looking for and really service their vision and emulate that. I think some episodic TV directors get frustrated at not being able to put their own stamp on things. I’m like, ‘No, I love that. Let me work out what you were wanting to achieve and find out how to do it.’”

McIver directing an episode in season 4 could mean she’ll return to the director’s chair for Ghosts season 5. She directed season 4, episode 13, “Ghostfellas,” which was one of the highest-rated episodes of the season. Since the episode did so well, it wouldn’t be shocking if Ghosts showrunners, Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, decided to let McIver try her hand again at directing another episode.
