Ghosts is set to return with its highly anticipated Season 4 on October 17, 2024, and the upcoming season will see some new faces joining the cast. Recently announced at San Diego Comic-Con, Mary Holland and Dean Norris are stepping into key guest roles, adding more intrigue to this beloved series.
Mary Holland Joins as Puritan Ghost Patience
Ghosts Season 4 Welcomes Mary Holland and Dean Norris in Exciting Guest Roles
Known for her roles in Happiest Season and The Package, Holland will play Patience, a severe Puritan ghost who haunts the dirt around the manor grounds. Patience made a dramatic entrance at the end of Season 3 by kidnapping Isaac, raising numerous questions about her past. In the show’s lore, Patience was abandoned by other spirits and has become a feral creature roaming the dirt since 1895. The story arc will delve deeper into her connection with Isaac, something that has been hinted at but never fully explored.
Dean Norris Becomes Sam’s Dad

Norris, widely recognized for his role as Hank Schrader in Breaking Bad, will portray Sam’s father Frank. Frank’s arrival at the manor with his new girlfriend adds layers to Sam’s backstory, providing viewers a peek into their strained relationship. This development promises to unfold more familial drama alongside the supernatural antics.
The Questions Hanging Over Season 4

Patience’s introduction not only brings up questions about her history with Isaac but also how she’s holding him captive. The creators have previously established that objects can be used by ghosts if they were present at their death—a fact illustrated when Hetty used a chord wrapped around her neck to save another spirit last season.
The show’s fans have always been engaged with such intriguing plot mechanics, and this season seems no different. We can expect pressing issues like Pete’s ghost power limitations and possibly exploring Sas’s death to be addressed when Ghosts returns to CBS this fall. With new narrative layers and character depth promised by these cast additions, it’s shaping up to be an exciting season ahead.
