For some upcoming viewing options, check out our 2022 TV schedule. The cartoon character, Casper the Friendly Ghost who appears in numerous cartoon shorts as well as Harvey Comics publication, has appeared in five films since his inception, most of which were either released in television or straight-to-video while only one was released theatrically. If it receives a series order, it could be a great way to recruit a new generation of Casper fans and bring in some older ones who grew up on earlier shows and the live-action movies. The CGI version of Casper that appears in the live-action films. I am curious to see if anyone from previous Casper projects will make an appearance, but it’s too early to tell who all will be part of it. Characters like Sonic the Hedgehog and Clifford the Big Red Dog have appeared in live-action productions in recent years, and the new Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is performing well enough in the box office to prove that viewers will happily suspend their disbelief. The Friendly Ghost is a Famous Studios cartoon released on 16 November 1945 as part of its Noveltoons series of animated short films. In the world of ever-growing technology, if the show moves forward, any CGI could be amazing. It seems like the Peacock version would lean more on the horror and mystery. The friendly ghost is known to be a bit more light than other spooks on the small screen, but also a bit on the scary side. This Casper series definitely sounds intriguing. It will be interesting to see who takes up the mantle and how it will be handled. With the series only in development, it may be a while until an actor is cast. There is no word on who would play the iconic ghost and join the long lineup of previous actors who have had the honor, if the new Peacock project gets an order.
