Moreover, Jennifer Love Hewitt believed that the series had not ended”like Melinda deserved.” And to add:We left the audience without a conclusion, and I hate that.

Jennifer Love Hewitt totally against a reboot of Ghost Whisperer
But although the end of Ghost Whisperer left her with a bitter taste, Jennifer Love Hewitt had indicated a few years ago that she was totally against the idea of a reboot of the series. “I’m not good at walking away from this series. So if a reboot was born, with younger actors, I would be the old woman who says: ‘Get out of here, you’re not talking to the dead, I’m talking to the dead’, I am therefore against it. If they’re going to do the show again, I have to be on it and reprise the role, because there’s no way I’m giving up my Ghost Whisperer throne. This role meant so much to me and it represented so much. I worked very hard to make Melinda what she is.”
In contrast, the actress would not be against “a ten-episode revival on Netflixto end the series or other“, provided it is done “in a unique and interesting way.” If for the moment, nothing has been indicated concerning a supposed revival of Ghost Whispererdie-hard fans of the star can find her in the series 9-1-1, the sixth season of which is currently being broadcast across the Atlantic on the FOX channel.
