So far, it seems like Ghosts US co-showrunner, Joe Port, agrees with this assessment, saying in an interview that having Alison and Mike on a crossover “sort of doesn’t compute for us because it feels kind of strange… It just seems too similar, or something, to Sam and Jay.” The UK show was also perfect in completion, so it doesn’t really need continuations of those characters’ stories. But there is one solution for fans that still want more of their favorite British spirits. Why not bring over those actors in brand-new roles on the US version? This would be a fun way to utilize the talents of the cast without getting bogged down trying to follow the pre-established ghost lore or without needing fans to question why these specific characters would be showing up at Woodstone.
Even if the ghosts from Button House don’t make appearances in the US, there are still many exciting things in store for Ghosts’ upcoming season. It has already been announced that Jay is going to start seeing ghosts for the first time (which will most definitely lead to all kinds of upheaval and hilarious situations for all of the characters). We also don’t know exactly what happened to Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones); the last we saw of him in the Season 3 finale, the mysterious Puritan ghost, Patience, was dragging him into the earth. The series has always included plenty of fun twists and exciting guest stars, so there will certainly be interesting additions to the plot and to the cast going forward. But here’s hoping a few of the actors from Ghosts UK will still pop up in future seasons of the US franchise, without needing to do a traditional crossover to make it happen.
