Inheriting a crumbling country estate turns out to be the easy part for Samantha and Jay; the house comes with permanent residents nobody mentioned.
What is Ghosts about?
Samantha and Jay decide to leave city life behind and turn a rundown property left to them by a relative into a bed-and-breakfast, betting everything on the renovation working out. The building itself fights them at every turn, with plumbing, wiring, and structural surprises piling up faster than the budget allows. Then Samantha takes a fall down the stairs and wakes up able to see and hear the house's other occupants: a rotating cast of spirits from different eras who never left, each with their own habits, grudges, and opinions about the renovation. Jay, unable to see or hear any of them, is left watching his wife react to conversations only she can follow, while the two of them try to get the business running with an entire unseen household getting involved in every decision.
About the cast
Rose McIver plays Samantha opposite Utkarsh Ambudkar as Jay, with the ghostly ensemble built around Rebecca Wisocky, Brandon Scott Jones, Danielle Pinnock, Richie Moriarty, Asher Grodman, and Devan Long, each playing a spirit from a distinct period of the house's history. Joe Port and Joe Wiseman created the series and direct portions of the run.
Context & significance
Ghosts is an American adaptation of a British sitcom built on the same premise, translating the format's mix of workplace-comedy rhythm and ensemble-haunting gags to a new setting and cast of spirits. The show runs at a brisk episode length typical of network comedy, favoring quick scenes and overlapping jokes over serialized plotting, and it leans on its ensemble of period-specific ghosts, spanning everything from colonial-era settlers to more recent decades, for most of its comedic variety.
