The Ghosts Season 4 Finale Will Finally Reveal Hetty’s Power

“She’s one of the last ghosts who we don’t know, so that’s coming up.”

ScreenRant: What can you tease about the rest of the current season of Ghosts?

Joe Wiseman: We have some fun stuff coming up. We are going to learn what Hetty’s ghost power is. She’s one of the last ghosts who we don’t know that, so that’s coming up. Jay’s finally going to open his restaurant. We have been building up to that for a very long time.

Joe Port: We’re going to meet Alexander Hamilton.

ScreenRant: Lin-Manuel Miranda?

Joe Port: It’s not Lin-Manuel Miranda, it’s Nat Faxon, who we are thrilled about.

The Wild Robot 2 Will Find Roz Once Again Struggling To Find Her Way

“She is now in a completely different environment, of ours, in society, where she is once again a fish out of water.”

ScreenRant: For those who haven’t read the book, can you tease what The Wild Robot sequel is about?

Jeff Hermann: The first one was about Roz being a fish out of water on an island populated by only animals. Now having lived there for her entire life, she is now in a completely different environment of ours, in society, where she is once again a fish out of water and has to find her way through.

Inside Out 2’s Dave Holstein Has Quite The Vision For The Future Of The Franchise

“There’s a big story every couple of years that we can tell.”

ScreenRant: A billion dollars later, are you working on Inside Out 3? Where can you take Riley next?

Dave Holstein: 1.7 billion! That’s a great question. I mean, Riley’s only 13 going on 14. There’s a lot of life left to explore. I really hope that this franchise follows her through motherhood.

I really hope that there’s a big story every couple of years that we can tell. There are certainly plenty of good [emotions] I’m sure you can think of, and plenty of the ones that we haven’t thought of yet. Whatever it is we go, it’s going to be great.

Calah Lane Loves A Complete Unknown & Is Rooting For Wonka Co-Star At The Oscars

“He’s really thriving right now, and I’m really happy for him.”

ScreenRant: Your Wonka co-star, Timothee Chalamet, is nominated for an Oscar, and seems to be the front-runner. What’s your reaction to that?

Calah Lane: I’m so excited for him and I love the movie, so I am rooting for him. He’s such a great actor and at portraying different characters. He went from Wonka to Bob Dylan. He’s really thriving right now and I’m really happy for him.
