Premiering globally on Friday, October 21, the all-new season of the modern-day Ghostwriter will feature an entirely new cast and epic literary adventure.
When a ghost haunts a bookstore and releases fictional characters into the real world, a group of friends works to solve an exciting mystery surrounding the ghost’s unfinished business.
While tackling the big mystery, the young heroes embark on six curious adventures with characters inspired by L. Frank Baum’s story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz; author Pablo Cartaya’s ¡Leo! El Magnífico; Beverly Cleary’s novel The Mouse and the Motorcycle; Mick Jagger and Keith Richard’s song She’s A Rainbow; E.B. White’s book Charlotte’s Web; and Jewell Parker Rhodes’ tale Bayou Magic.
Season three of Ghostwriter will also feature notable guest stars such as Princess Mapp (Sydney to the Max, The Unicorn), Nour Assaf (The Casagrandes), and Daire McLeod (Danger Force).
The guests include Randall Park (WandaVision) as Lion in The Ghost of Oz Journey, Jay Baruchel (This Is the End) as Ralph The Mouse in The Ghost, The Mouse and The Motorcycle, Emmy Award-winner Jean Smart (Hacks) as Charlotte, and Iain Armitage (Young Sheldon) as Wilbur in The Ghost’s Web adventure.

Johnson and Andrew Orenstein. Academy Award-winning and DGA Award-nominated Luke Matheny directed five episodes from the season.
