Last week, the Ghosts cast began filming Season 4 of their hit CBS sitcom.
This week, cast members Rebecca Wisocky (Hetty), Utkarsh Ambudkar (Jay), Román Zaragoza (Sas), Richie Moriarty (Pete), and show creators Joe Port and Joe Wiseman took the stage at San Diego Comic-Con for a panel brimming with gasp-worthy Season 4 reveals.
And, naturally, they kicked things off with a road trip story.
Ghosts Season 2 Episode 16, “Isaac’s Book”

Zaragoza revealed that he and Moriarty (the besties they are) chose to drive to Montreal from New York together this season.

Ambudkar finds this friendship delightful, explaining that “Román is very recognizable and Richie is not unless he has an arrow through his neck. So everywhere these two go together, everyone’s like, ‘Oh my god, Román, I love you on Ghosts!’
And then they’re like, “Sir can you take our picture,” Moriarty laughed.
“We consider it the Superman complex with Richie where you put a pair of glasses on him and it completely changed the way he looks,” Zaragoza explained. “And the wig,” added a giggling Wisocky.
“Don’t keep try to get that rumour going!” Moriarty responded with mock outrage as Ambudkar joked, “It’s a whole hair piece and arrow.
When they first returned to set, the cast ran to see one thing in particular.
“There’s a whole new set where Patience is, so I ran there to see it,” Moriarty revealed.
“Zoey, our set designer, is incredible. I wanted to see how they were creating the space for Patience, and it looks unbelievable! I can’t wait to see what it looks like on camera, but I was just so impressed with what our crew is creating for Season 4.”
The Joes confirmed we will meet Patience “early on” in the season, and she will be played by the hilarious Mary Holland (Big Door Prize). “She’s funny; her performance is a little scary and a little awful. She’s the perfect Patience,” Wiseman explained.
“We describe Patience as being kicked out of her Puritan village in life for being a bit too much, even for the Puritans.” Yikes, she sounds fun!
It wouldn’t be Ghosts without a Halloween special, and this cast had only treats for fans of the spooky season episodes.
“We’re going to keep doing what’s working. We’re gonna keep following the storylines for all of our Woodstone residents, and we’re going do another Halloween special this year,” Port assure
It gets better, though. “Halloween comes early this season — it’s Episode 3,” Wiseman announced. “Our Puritan ghost will still be with us and she’s going to have a big effect on the house. She may not be the biggest fan of Halloween.”
Additionally, Ghosts could honor spooky holidays from other cultural backgrounds in the future. “We’re always trying to push the ghost rules, and doing it on Halloween or Day of the Dead is perfect because the line between the living and the dead on those days thins. So something like that is possible,” Port assured.
Speaking of Halloween, the show is bringing its haunting premise to the masses this fall.
CBS and Just Fix It productions are working on a 60-minute immersive Ghosts experience. It’s going to be called “Creep LA Ghosts.” The spooky experience will be open on select dates this October in LA, with tickets available on September 9.
