Earlier this year at SDCC, Ghosts showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman dropped a major spoiler for Season 4. Among some other epic teases, the duo promised that at some point this season Utkarsh Ambudkar’s Jay would finally get to see the ghosts he’s been living with for four years. While they haven’t revealed how Jay will see their dead found family though I have my suspicions or how long it will last, fans are eager to see Ambudkar finally get to interact with his co-stars on the hit comedy series.
The cast themselves are just as excited about it as they told Collider’s Perri Nemiroff during an interview at our NYCC studio. “It certainly changes the onset dynamic because Utkarsh gets to play with his fellow actors in a way that he hasn’t been able to,” said Rose McIver, who plays Ambudkar’s on-screen wife, Sam, who can see the ghosts thanks to a near-death trip down the stairs of their haunted mansion. Brandon Scott Jones, who plays the revolutionary war ghost Isaac, went on to celebrate getting to bring Ambudkar into their typical rhythms on set. He explained:

“When you’re working in an ensemble, I think the thing that we do that I love the most is that we really work through scenes. When we’re on set, we’ll try to figure out moments and beats and everything together. That doesn’t, sometimes, include Utkarsh, not because he’s not a part of that scene, but because a lot of times, the rhythms will be on two different sides of the camera. I will say like, just allowing him to be a part of that process just felt so wonderful and new and great and so exciting.”
While we’ll have to wait a few more weeks, at least, to finally see what happens when Jay sees the ghosts, the cast’s excitement at actually getting to interact with Ambudkar is enough to have us eagerly counting down the days until this episode airs. New episodes of Ghosts air every Thursday on CBS at 8:30 PM ET. Stay tuned at Collider for Nemiroff’s full conversation with the Ghosts cast from NYCC.
