Where Are They Now: 2025 Career Updates and New Projects
The cast members have all moved on to significant roles, with several finding major success in other long-running series or behind the camera. Their 2025 projects prove that their careers are far from resting in peace.
Jennifer Love Hewitt: The 9-1-1 Powerhouse and Entrepreneur
Since her days as the compassionate psychic medium Melinda Gordon, Jennifer Love Hewitt has cemented her status as a television mainstay. As of late 2025, she is a central figure on the hit ABC procedural drama 9-1-1, where she plays the role of dispatcher Maddie Buckley. Her work on the series, which is currently in its ninth season, showcases her dramatic range and continues to keep her in the spotlight.
Beyond acting, Hewitt has embraced her entrepreneurial side. She recently teased major career news involving her lifestyle brand, The Holiday Junkie, which announced a new collaboration with BFFs and Babes, focusing on holiday-themed apparel and accessories. This move highlights her transition into a multi-faceted public figure, balancing her acting career with personal business ventures.
David Conrad: From Jim Clancy to The Classroom and Lifetime Movies
David Conrad, who played the steadfast Jim Clancy, has taken a more selective approach to his career. After the show concluded, Conrad moved abroad in 2018 and has since split his time between the US and England, focusing on a mix of acting and teaching. This "basic psych" approach to his career allows him to work when he can, prioritizing his craft and personal life.
In a notable return to the screen, Conrad starred in the Lifetime movie 12 Desperate Hours, an intense role that marked his first filmed acting project in quite a while. This January 2025 update confirms that while his focus may have shifted, he remains a dedicated and working actor, often preferring the stage or independent projects.
Camryn Manheim and Aisha Tyler: Directing and Procedural Dominance
Camryn Manheim (Delia Banks) has maintained a strong presence in network television. After her successful run on The Practice, she joined the cast of Law & Order. However, recent reports indicate that she is set to exit the long-running procedural after Season 23 to pursue a new, yet-to-be-detailed project called "Camryn Manheim Steamroller." Additionally, she has been cast in an upcoming Tom Selleck "Jesse Stone" CBS project, ensuring her continued visibility on the small screen. Her son, Milo Manheim, is also a rising star, continuing the family's legacy in Hollywood.
Aisha Tyler (Andrea Marino) has become a major force both in front of and behind the camera. Her latest television project is the Apple+ TV smash hit The Last Thing He Told Me. More impressively, Tyler has expanded her role as a director, with her film I Hope We Can Still Be Friends slated for a Halloween 2025 release. Her work on the animated spinoff Diabolical for Amazon Prime further showcases her versatility as a writer and producer.
Meanwhile, Jay Mohr (Rick Payne) continues his career as a highly active comedian, actor, and author. He is currently on a 2025 comedy tour, performing stand-up across the country, a testament to his enduring popularity.
The Burning Question: Will a Ghost Whisperer Reboot Happen?
The possibility of a Ghost Whisperer reboot has been a persistent topic among fans and the media for years, and the latest updates suggest it's more than just a pipe dream. The show's devoted fanbase and cultural staying power are major factors driving the discussion.
The most compelling piece of evidence comes directly from the star herself. Jennifer Love Hewitt has been candid about her wish to return to the role of Melinda Gordon. In a recent podcast appearance, she revealed that she has even pitched ideas for a potential revival. She has stated that she would "love to do it," suggesting that the door is wide open for a return to Grandview and the world of earthbound spirits.
A reboot would likely explore the life of Melinda and Jim Clancy's son, Aiden Lucas, who also inherited the gift, offering a fresh, generational take on the supernatural drama. The current success of nostalgic revivals across streaming platforms makes this the perfect time for a Ghost Whisperer return. While no official announcement has been made as of December 2025, the enthusiasm from the lead actress and the continuous fan demand make a revival a strong possibility that viewers should keep an eye on.
