The logline for the season 4 premiere promises that Sam, Jay, and the remaining ghosts will have to unravel the mystery of which spirit crossed over. And, continuing the show’s more episodic nature, Sam and Jay will have to relocate an owl to turn their barn into a restaurant for Jay. The first half of the premiere, which addresses the cliffhanger, goes back to when Sam and Jay are sitting in their car outside their estate only to see a bright light, seemingly indicating one of the characters crossing over.
As for which one of the Ghosts characters has crossed over to the other side, a report in Deadline that detailed the cast secured pay increases ahead of season 4 could provide context. McIver and Ambudkar’s paychecks doubled to $250,000 an episode. The supporting actors — Brandon Scott Jones (Isaac), Richie Moriarty (Pete), Danielle Pinnock (Alberta), Asher Grodman (Trevor), Román Zaragoza (Sasappis), Sheila Carrasco (Flower), Rebecca Wisocky (Hetty) and Devan Chandler Long (Thorfinn) — were mentioned as earning $100,000 an episode. Grodman’s mention of the core eight further points to the fact that familiar faces are likely sticking around.
Ghosts season 4 is also going to pick up on the recurring thread of Jay feeling left out by the fact that Sam can see and communicate with the dead. If the sitcom continues long enough, there’s a certain narrative logic to the idea that Jay would get to play around with those powers for a bit. Based on the latest tease, that could be happening sooner than expected.
