GHOSTWRITER is the latest Fantasy show for Apple TV+. It's a show made for the younger audiences, but adults will easily enjoy it too. The Season episodes are out now. Ghostwriter is the new children's Fantasy series on Apple TV Plus.
The series is funny as well as entertaining so that adults can easily watch along. Basically, the local bookstore is hounded by a ghost and releases imaginary characters into the real world.
In other words, we function in the same kind of world as the films in Goosebumps. It's not as scary though as those movies have been. This Apple TV+ show is a collection of dreams, and not a set of horrors.
The Ghostwriter cast is centered on the four kids who are able to see what the ghost is showing them. Both in terms of written messages in everything from orange juice and dust to writing on a chalk board and the characters that escape from books. Only these four kids can see all the strange things happening around them.
The lead character is Ruben who just moved to a new school. The bookstore in the series is owned by his Grandpa and Ruben himself also helps out there. Ruben is portrayed wonderfully by Isaac Arellanes who’s previously been in the HBO series Euphoria and he was in the 2018 horror-thriller Cucuy: The Boogeyman.
I also have to mention the youngest member of the group. Her name is Donna and she’s a real firecracker who is protrayed with awesome sass by Hannah Levinson. You may recognize Hannah Levinson from the series adaptation of Stephen King’s 11.22.63.
Overall, I love both the diversity and the very good acting from these kids. If I was a child, I would adore this series… and as an adult, I still do enjoy it quite a bit. Of course, you may actually know this plot from the original series. The previous Ghostwriter series had a nice run from 1992-1995 and was quite popular, so this 2019 version is just in time for the next generation.
