Showrunners Explain the Season 5 Finale
In an interview with Deadline following the release of the abrupt 'Ghosts' season 5 finale, showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman discussed their creative choices and what lies ahead for the next season.
The duo addressed Pete's mysterious disappearance, noting that they have been teasing this concept for a while. Despite this, they acknowledge that fans were still surprised by the season's ending. Port stated, "We've teased Pete disappearing a couple of times now, and it's going to be very interesting to figure out where he went, where he is, and what he's like now. It's an existential question we've been wrestling with about what would happen if he disappeared. We're going to answer that question when we come back." Wiseman added that they wanted the season to end in a way that leaves fans with many questions for future seasons. He said, "One of our main characters just disappeared, and who knows—will he be back? Where has he been? It brings up a lot of enticing questions."
