Christopher Jackson is returning to the small screen this spring in a guest star role on Season 5 of the CBS comedy Ghosts. Variety reports that the Tony Award-nominated Hamilton alum will play a Mahoning Capital HR rep named Anthony.

Ghosts is a CBS comedy about Samantha and Jay, who open a bed & breakfast only to discover that it is inhabited by the many spirits of deceased residents who now call it home. Led by Rose McIver and Utkarsh Ambudkar, new episodes of the fifth season air on Thursdays on CBS.
