Here’s the big news for Ghosts Season 4: Jay will finally be able to see the ghosts. While we don’t know the exact details yet, this massive development will allow Utkarsh Ambudkar’s character to directly interact with the spirits. The cast recently shared how this shift will transform the show both on and off camera. But it’s Rose McIver’s insights about “realities vs. expectations” that truly spark intrigue.
How Jay Seeing the Ghosts Will Shift the Ensemble Dynamic
As Ghosts Season 4 kicks off, Collider spoke with some of the cast, including Rose McIver (Sam), who explained how this storyline has shifted the energy on set. McIver highlighted a major change: finally allowing Utkarsh Ambudkar to act directly alongside his co-stars who play spirits. She shared:
“It certainly changes the on-set dynamic because Utkarsh gets to play with his fellow actors in a way that he hasn’t been able to.”
The thought of Ambudkar fully joining the ensemble is thrilling. Brandon Scott Jones (Isaac) echoed this, explaining how including Ambudkar in scenes would enhance their collaborative process:
“Allowing him to be part of that process just felt so wonderful and new and great and so exciting.”
Given Ambudkar’s comedic skill, fans have longed to see him freely banter with his ghostly co-stars, without Sam as the intermediary. Although we’ve seen brief interactions — like Jay communicating with Sas in dreams and Trevor via iPad texts — he’s never truly experienced the ghosts in full. This setup presents hilarious possibilities as Jay finally gets to meet the quirky spirits face-to-face.
Rose McIver Hints at Jay’s “Expectations vs. Reality” Surprise
McIver offered the most thought-provoking point, hinting that Jay’s expectations of the ghosts may not match reality. After three seasons of only imagining what these spirits look like and act like, he’s developed his own mental image of each one.
“He has his own distinct picture of them in his head, and seeing them for the first time will probably challenge that image.”
It’s a fresh layer to Jay’s journey that will no doubt lead to comedic moments as he adjusts his assumptions to the real, unpredictable personalities of each ghost. The cast is clearly excited to dive into this storyline, and the concept of “expectations vs. reality” makes this new chapter for Ghosts an absolute must-watch.
