Upon learning of the show’s season 2 renewal in 2022,Mark Hamillexpressed his excitement for the return of the “smart” and “whimsical.”
“This IS a surprise to me (seems as though everything I like gets canceled), but a WONDERFUL surprise indeed,” he tweeted in reply to the show’s renewal announcement at the time. “[Ghosts] is a delight: smart, witty, whimsical, very funny with a BRILLIANT cast that is beyond perfection.”
Hamill, 72, ended the tweet with a hashtag of congratulations on a well deserved renewal.
TheStar Warslegend isn’t the only one who’s shared their love for the show.
In a conversation with PEOPLE in February 2023, Grodman recalled the moment he saw Reid’s tweet and ran to showrunners to get her on the show.
“We all geeked out,” he continued. “And when I saw it, of course, part of me was like, ‘Yes, this had to happen,’ but another part of me was very much like, ‘I can’t believe the wild ride that this show has been on, out of the pandemic, of being utterly isolated and now we did this show, and people are watching this show and people are wanting to be on this show.'”
