Missed Guest Star Opportunity in Ghosts Season 4 Could Still Become a Reality

The latest casting developments for Ghosts Season 4 have certainly stirred excitement among fans, even as one anticipated cameo was officially ruled out. This season introduces a variety of engaging characters, yet the CBS sitcom has a knack for surprise guest appearances that enhance viewer interest. Already this season, Mary Holland has depicted Patience, the Puritan ghost, in several episodes, and Dean Norris, best known from Breaking Bad, has appeared as Sam’s distant father, Frank. As the season continues to unfold, fans can expect another notable guest to join the cast at the Woodstone Mansion, specifically within Isaac’s evolving storyline.

Interestingly, the new character may not align with what viewers had imagined. Isaac, portrayed by Brandon Scott Jones, has often mentioned a rivalry with the historical figure Alexander Hamilton. In exciting news, Hamilton’s ghost is slated to make an appearance next year, according to Jones. Initially, there was a push for Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator and lead of the acclaimed Broadway musical Hamilton, to reprise his role; however, TVLine has confirmed that Nat Faxon from The Conners will undertake the role instead. This choice, while unexpected, could still result in a triumph for the series.

Lin-Manuel Miranda Could Still Join Ghosts Season 4 (But Not as Hamilton)

Nat Faxon to Portray Isaac’s Notable Rival

While Faxon’s portrayal of Hamilton is certainly noteworthy, there’s a compelling case for Lin-Manuel Miranda to join Ghosts Season 4 to portray himself rather than in character as Hamilton. The standout appearance of Tara Reid in Season 2, where she humorously depicted a fictional version of herself at Trevor’s delayed funeral, highlights the potential for Miranda to deliver a similarly amusing performance. Following the events of Episode 5, titled “The Primary Source,” where Sam documents Isaac’s war experiences, this could provide an excellent setup for a fresh and witty cameo.

Miranda’s guest spot could allow room for some of his own comedic self-parody, as characters referencing his Broadway work would undoubtedly aggravate Isaac. Even though Isaac struggled to find a credible primary source to substantiate his experiences, there remains ample opportunity for Miranda to appear at the Woodstone B&B. Whether he is conducting research on Isaac’s history or just passing by, his interaction with Faxon’s Hamilton would make for a fascinating episode, ripe with humorous potential.

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Ghosts Season 4 Cameo Could Be Even More Impactful

The Broadway Star May Reunite with Utkarsh Ambudkar on Screen

Utkarsh Ambudkar has previously worked with Lin-Manuel Miranda in an earlier rendition of Hamilton, setting the stage for a potentially delightful reunion on Ghosts. This collaboration could infuse a humorous, meta-quality into the storyline. However, beyond mere nostalgia, Miranda’s appearance could challenge and facilitate growth for Isaac, who has been focused on personal improvement throughout Season 4. Encountering the fame and acclaim of Miranda’s work could provoke an amusing response from Isaac, showcasing his ongoing journey of self-discovery.

In summary, while Nat Faxon steps into the shoes of Alexander Hamilton, a guest appearance by Lin-Manuel Miranda could enhance the narrative of Ghosts Season 4, adding rich layers of humor and depth to Isaac’s character arc.
