Ghost Wars premiered in Syfy last Oct. 2 and viewers who were intrigued since its reveal back in July thought that the show started out good.
After the airing of the first episode, viewers were thankful that the show did not drag the reveal that Maggie Rennie (Elise Gatien) was a spirit. It was a way to say to future fans of the show that the pacing of the story will be different from other paranormal shows. This reveal on the first episode was big, which also hinted that bigger things are about to come.
Nomadic Pictures is producing the 13-episode paranormal drama with one hour of air time each. The show stars top-of-the-line actors like Vincent D'Onofrio ("Emerald City" and "Daredevil") and "Sons of Anarchy" star Kim Coates. The story however, will revolve around the young man and town outcast, Roman Mercer, who will be portrayed by (Avan Jogia)
The teaser trailer of the show was revealed at the San Diego Comic Con 2017 where viewers see the Alaskan town giving a very judging look at title character Roman Mercer – a psychic who can see spirits and ghosts; and as the show is suggesting in the first episode, everything that could come in between.
Jogia's character is treated as an outcast because he chooses to not hide his special abilities. In one part of the video, he is seen talking to a spirit with a very annoyed tone making it look like this was a common part of his everyday life. There was also one scene in the 3-minute long trailer where Mercer was warning a group of hikers in the forest. The group of course was reluctant to listen, until bad things started heading their way.
"Ghost Wars" will have directors rotating in every episode. The pool includes David Von Ancken ("Hell on Wheels," and "Code Black"), Leslie Hope ("Aftermath"), Jason Priestly ("Private Eyes"), and Simon Barry ("Continuum).
