While Ghosts season 4 will have a hard time making up for season 3’s cliffhanger ending, I’m much more optimistic after hearing about the sitcom’s new cast member. Based on the British series of the same name from 2019, CBS’s Ghosts is a sitcom that follows Sam and Jay, a couple who move into a mansion they inherited from a distant relative. After a near-death experience, Sam gains the ability to see and speak to the house’s ghostly residents. The ghosts of CBS’s Ghosts are the real focus of the series, as well as Sam and Jay’s exploits.
The house is inhabited by a diverse array of comically mismatched specters, from the sardonic Native American Sass to the uptight aristocratic lady Hetty, to the free-spirited hippy Flower. All of these ghosts have unfinished business that keeps them trapped in the show’s mansion setting, but this isn’t the primary focus of the series. While Ghosts season 4 might change this, so far, the sitcom hasn’t rushed its antiheroes off into the afterlife. Instead, the ghosts of Ghosts are quite content to hang around in Sam and Jay’s house, continuing their centuries of in-group squabbles and shifting power dynamics.
