Ghosts just cast a character I’ve been dying to see, and they’re going to shake things up in season 4

By means of Ghosts Season 4so many great actors have been added to the cast to play important guest roles that shake up the atmosphere at Woodstone Manor. Of adding Mary Holland as the Puritan Ghost Patience Unpleasant Jay’s parents casting (who we’ll see soon) and Sam’s father, we got to know some very important people involved in the lives of our main characters. Now we get the introduction of a character I’ve been dying to see on this show, Alexander Hamilton, and I really think Nat Faxon could shake things up – especially for Isaac – with this role.

Nat Faxon has been cast as Alexander Hamilton in Ghosts

If Ghosts is approaching its mid-season finale at the TV program 2024CBS has announced an exciting development surrounding the second half of the season. This exciting news is that Nat Faxon is joining the Ghosts form as Alexander Hamilton.

A specific episode for Faxon’s debut as a founding father and Isaac’s rival was not revealed. However, it was noted that he will appear as Hamilton during one of the matches Ghosts‘ early episodes on the TV program 2025.

For those who may not know, the Loot star is a great comedic actor known for his roles in the Apple TV+ comedy shows like The Conners And Mulligan and movies like The way back. So he’s a welcome and exciting addition to the Ghosts ensemble, and I’m especially excited to see him tackle Brandon Scott Jones’ Revolutionary War soldier.

Why showing Alexander Hamilton could really turn Isaac’s story upside down

As you probably know, Isaac loves to brag about his rivalry with Alexander Hamilton, and in the afterlife he is obsessed with talking about it. However, we have never heard the founder’s side of the story.

So when we see Hamilton – probably in a flashback, since we know he didn’t die at Woodstone – we can get to know his relationship with Isaac from a new perspective.

The musical Hamilton describes the man as cocky and very confident, and history also points to this. However, Faxon’s previous roles were quirky and a bit quieter. So what if the actor plays the founding father in a completely new way, one that would arguably show that Isaac’s rivalry was one-sided?

However, I would also like to see a new side to the actor, and it would be hilarious to see him play a soldier who is cool, cocky and perhaps even oblivious to Isaac’s passionate rivalry with him.

Overall, I want Hamilton to turn what we know about his relationship with Isaac on its head. A big part of Isaac’s personality is his apparent relationship with the man who will play Faxon, so if he does actually appear somehow, our understanding of the backstory of Brandon Scott Jones’ character will 100% be shaken up.

Luckily, we don’t have to wait long to see Nat Faxon as Alexander Hamilton, because 2025 is just around the corner. But while we wait for that introduction, check out the rest Ghosts’ new episodes airing in 2024 by tuning into CBS on Thursdays at 8:30 PM ET or by streaming the comedy with a Paramount+ subscription.
