When a family of living humans (living being the operative word) arrives in the small town of Eternal Falls, the titular apparition with a friendly disposition finds himself at the center of a mystery, uncovering dark secrets that have been buried for over a century. Hailing from writer and executive producer Kai Yu Wu ( Hannibal, The Flash), the in-development project - simply titled Casper at this current time - is described by the streaming platform as 'a horror/adventure show that reimagines the origin of Casper in a coming-of-age story that explores what it means to be alive.' Peacock has decided to celebrate Halloween six months early this year with the rather spooky announcement of a live-action TV series based on the Casper the Friendly Ghost franchise.
