Variety is reporting that CBS comedy pilot Ghosts has added The Other Two‘s Brandon Scott Jones.
Based on the British series of the same name, with Joe Port and Joe Wiseman (New Girl) adapting for American television, Ghosts follows a financially struggling young couple whose prayers seem to have been answered with news that they’ve inherited a gorgeous country house. However, once the couple actually moves in, they realize that it’s not only dilapidated but haunted by the ghosts of its former inhabitants.
Jones will play well-meaning Isaac, a pompous, long-winded Militaman who died of dysentery in the late 1700s.
Ghosts is one of several comedy pilots in contention at CBS for 2020-21, joining B Positive, about a man seeking a kidney donation who finds his donor in an unexpected place; Jury Duty, which follows a jury throughout the course of a single trial; foster kid multi-cam Please Hold for Frankie Wolfe; sibling series The Three of Us; and The United States of Al, centering on the friendship between a Marine and his interpreter.
In addition to his role on the acclaimed Comedy Central series, Jones has appeared on the likes of The Good Place, Girls, and Difficult People.
