From Star to Storyteller: Rose McIver’s Powerful Leap Behind the Camera in Ghosts Season 4

Rose McIver is opening up about directing her first episode of Ghosts in season 4 and how much she enjoyed taking on this new role. McIver’s Ghosts character, Sam, and her husband, Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar), have been through a lot since moving into the old country home she inherited from her great aunt, only to find it full of ghosts. Depicting their struggles to adapt to their ghostly roommates at the Woodstone B&B requires a deft touch to wrangle the large ensemble cast. While directing can be a difficult task, McIver found she had fun directing herself and her costars for the first time this season.

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.’”
