Dean Norris is set to guest star in Season 4 as Samantha’s father Frank. Described as “kindly and well-meaning, Frank arrives at Woodstone for his first visit in years, along with his new girlfriend. Frank and Sam have struggled to stay close since Frank divorced Sam’s mom when Sam was 10. On the surface, Frank and Sam are cordial, but deep down Sam resents her father for being largely absent from her life. After decades of insisting ‘everything was fine,’ Sam is finally compelled to confront these feelings when a new ghost at Woodstone forces her into an awkward conversation with her dad.”
Norris is best known for his role as Hank Schroeder in Breaking Bad. He also reprised the role in the prequel series Better Call Saul. Norris has also appeared in shows like Law & Order: Organized Crime and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
The other addition to the cast is Patience, the Puritan ghost who returned to the mansion in the Season 3 finale to kidnap Isaac. She is played by Mary Holland and is set to recur in Season 4. The character description reads as follows: “While alive, she was exceedingly severe and judgmental even by Puritan standards. As such, she was expelled from her village for ‘being a bit too much.’ After being dead a couple hundred years, Patience was inadvertently abandoned by Revolutionary War ghost Isaac underground near the mansion and has become a feral creature ‘roaming the dirt’ since 1895.”
Ghosts is CBS’ hit sitcom adapted from the British series of the same name. It stars Rose McIver and Utkarsh Ambudkar as Samantha and Jay Arondekar, married New Yorkers who inherit an upstate mansion and attempt to turn it into a B&B. After Samantha suffers a near-death accident, she discovers she can suddenly see the ghosts who call the mansion home.
Season 3 of Ghosts ended on a major cliffhanger that saw Revolutionary War ghost Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones) pulled into the ground by Patience, the revengeful Puritan ghost who is now set to return for Season 4. The fourth season of Ghosts is set to premiere on October 17th, on CBS.
