Premise

Married New Yorkers Samantha and Jay Arondekar believe their dreams have come true when they inherit a beautiful country house from Sophie Woodstone, Sam's great aunt, only to find that it is falling apart and inhabited by ghosts of people from different eras of American history who died on the property and are now bound to the area, appearing as they did at the times of their deaths, until they can reach the afterlife. Jay cannot see or hear the ghosts, but Sam can after a near-death experience.

Cast

Main

Living

  • Rose McIver as Samantha "Sam" Arondekar, a freelance journalist who, after an accident that leaves her clinically dead for three minutes, revives with the ability to see, hear, and interact with ghosts.[10] She is based on Alison Cooper from the original British series.
  • Utkarsh Ambudkar as Jayanth "Jay" Arondekar, Samantha's husband and a chef with many typically "geeky" interests such as comic books, sci-fi films, video games, and Dungeons & Dragons. He often attempts to communicate with the ghosts despite being unable to see or hear them.[10] He is loosely based on Mike Cooper from the original British series.

Ghosts

  • Devan Chandler Long as Thorfinn "Thor", an aggressive, often melodramatic Viking from Norway and the oldest of the ghosts, who set out to explore North America over 1,000 years ago but was abandoned by his shipmates and died from a lightning strike conducted by the helmet he wore. He has the ability to manipulate electricity and enjoys watching TV as well as regaling his friends with stories of combat, especially against Danes, and his favorite foods, particularly cod. He has a son named Bjorn, now a ghost on an adjacent property, who married a Danish woman. His previous ghost girlfriends include Luella and "Flat Maria", both of whom have since moved on to the afterlife. He is loosely based on Robin the caveman in the original British series.[11]
  • Román Zaragoza as Sasappis "Sass", a cynical Lenape man,[10] who often serves as the voice of reason for the other ghosts. He can influence living people's thoughts by interacting with them as characters in their dreams, making him the only ghost who can directly speak to Jay. He enjoys storytelling, stirring up drama, watching TV, and smelling food, especially pizza, prepared by the living. Despite being the second oldest ghost, he is more aware of the modern world than most and speaks like a modern person because he "pays attention".
  • Brandon Scott Jones as Captain Isaac Higgintoot, an initially closeted gay Continental Army officer[12] who died of dysentery[11] two weeks after the siege of Fort Ticonderoga[13] and has been largely forgotten by history, making him immensely jealous of the more famous Alexander Hamilton.[13] The living can smell a foul odor if he passes through them. He is based loosely on the Captain in the original British series, while his ghost power is similar to that of Mary Guppy the witch trial victim, and his one-sided rivalry with Hamilton echoes Romantic poet Thomas Thorne's rivalry with Lord Byron.
  • Rebecca Wisocky as Henrietta "Hetty" Woodstone, the uptight lady of the manor, Sam's great-great-great-great-aunt, and the daughter of the original owner of the mansion. She takes pride in being wealthy, looks down her nose on the working class and anyone Irish, and experimented with now-illicit drugs throughout her life, including cocaine and morphine. Her husband cheated on her in life with many different women, while her son Thomas was responsible for Alberta's murder.[10] She strangled herself to death in 1895 using a telephone cord to avoid being arrested for her husband's crimes, thus allowing Thomas to receive his inheritance. She is based on Lady Fanny Button in the original British series.
    • Alice Manning as Young Hetty, who could see and hear Thorfinn as a small child.
  • Danielle Pinnock as Alberta Haynes, a flamboyant Prohibition-era lounge singer[12] who was murdered by drinking strychnine-laced moonshine;[14] solving her murder is a key plot arc of the second season. Her humming can be heard by the living.[11] She can also be heard by Alexa devices. Though not directly based on any character from the UK original, her death backstory is similar to Lady Fanny Button's, as they were both killed as a result of their respective partners' affairs.
  • Sheila Carrasco as Susan "Flower" Montero, a cheerful and sweet but naive and forgetful hippie[10] who lived in both a commune and a cult in the 1960s. She was mauled to death by a bear she tried to hug while under the influence of drugs.[13] She can put a living person into a hallucinogenic high if she passes through them, and likes being in polyamorous relationships. She shares a closeness and gentle flirtation with Thorfinn, and they start dating later in the second season. Due to Carrasco taking time off work to raise her newborn daughter,[15] Flower goes missing in the third season, causing her friends to mistakenly believe she has moved on to the afterlife. Her cheerfulness and naïveté make her most similar to the character of Kitty Higham of the British original, though the roots of their dispositions are quite different (Kitty being a sheltered aristocrat, while Flower's derives from her hippie lifestyle).
  • Richie Moriarty as Peter "Pete" Martino, a friendly and polite but socially awkward travel agent and Pinecone Trooper leader[12] of Italian descent who died in 1985 when one of his scouts accidentally shot him through the neck with an arrow.[11] He has an unrequited romantic interest in Alberta, and Jay considers him one of his best friends, despite being unable to perceive his presence, due to many shared interests between them. Among his varied interests are improv, basketball, Dungeons & Dragons, and Star Wars films. He is the only ghost in the main group who can leave the Woodstone property and go anywhere he wants, but if he stays away from the property for too long, he will start to vanish piece-by-piece into oblivion although it's unknown what happens if he fully disappears.[16] He is based on Pat Butcher in the original British series.
  • Asher Grodman as Trevor Lefkowitz, the most recently deceased of the main ghosts, a wealthy, womanizing, hard-partying stockbroker[12] and Wharton School alumnus of Jewish ancestry who died in 2000 from a heart attack, caused by an accidental drug overdose, while not wearing pants. Though he claims he lost his pants because he died during a sexual encounter, he simply lent his pants to a friend as a good deed. He can physically interact with the corporeal world to a limited degree, usually with only one index finger, if he concentrates hard enough.[11] He is loosely based on Julian Fawcett MP in the original British series, and his initial attraction to Sam is similar to the poet Thomas Thorne's infatuation with Sam's counterpart Alison.
    • Sam Ashe Arnold as Young Trevor.

Recurring

Ghosts

  • Hudson Thames (Season 1) and Alex Boniello (Seasons 2-present) as the head of Crash, a smooth-talking 1950s-era greaser ghost who was decapitated.[17] He is loosely based on Sir Humphrey Bone in the British version; however, unlike Humphrey, whose head is always present in each appearance, Crash's head goes missing in the pilot episode when Thorfinn accidentally knocks it off his neck. Only his body (played by Matt Keyes) appears until his head is recovered in "Ghost Father of the Bride."
  • The cholera victim ghosts (also called basement ghosts): an indeterminate number of ghosts who died in a pest house that used to be on the property during a 19th-century cholera outbreak and whose bodies were buried together in a pit. Although they can go upstairs if they wish, their sickly appearances disturb the upstairs ghosts, so they spend all their time in the basement and are experts on the house's heating system. They are based on the plague ghosts in the British version, and most share first names with their actors.
    • Betsy Sodaro as Cholera Victim Nancy, a brash, obnoxious Albany native who spends most of her time berating her fellow victims and thinking of ways to permanently move upstairs.
    • Stuart Fink as Cholera Victim Stuart
    • Arthur Holden as Cholera Victim Creepy Dirk. When the ghosts decide to elect a representative to petition Sam rather than make requests individually, Creepy Dirk wins after Isaac's attempt to garner their support for his candidacy. He briefly holds the position until Sam rejects the arrangement.
    • Cody Crain as Cholera Victim Cody
    • Nigel Downer as Cholera Victim Nigel
    • Cat Lemieux as Cholera Victim Catherine
    • Tyler Alvarez as Cholera Victim Ralph, a teen who starts a relationship with Stephanie the prom ghost, only to move on to the afterlife.
  • The British Revolutionary ghosts: three ghosts who died in the Revolutionary War and occupy the shed on the property that used to be a barracks, as was agreed upon with Isaac after the war ended. They keep mostly to themselves and come up to the main house to redraw the borderlines every few years.
    • John Hartman as Nigel Chessum, the leader of the trio, whom Isaac accidentally shot. They have had secret romantic feelings for one another since they were alive, and they begin a relationship at the end of the first season.
    • Chad Andrews (Season 1) and Steven Yaffee (Seasons 3-present) as Baxter, Nigel's subordinate who plays a fife.
    • Christian Daoust as Jenkins, Nigel's subordinate who possesses a musket. He and Nigel had a physical relationship before Nigel and Isaac started dating, and they "liaison" once more when Isaac and Nigel go "on a respite".[a]
  • Odessa A'zion as Stephanie, a senior high school student who was murdered on her prom night by a chainsaw killer in 1987. She sleeps in the attic for months at a time, as extended sleep periods are common for ghosts who die in their teen years, and wakes up around the day of her prom night each year.
  • Crystle Lightning as Shiki, a Lenape woman on whom Sasappis had a crush in life. As a ghost, she is bound to the land occupied by the publishing office of the Ulster County Review magazine, so Sam and Jay help her establish a long-distance relationship with Sass.
  • Lindsey Broad as Judy, Henry Farnsby's deceased mother, who now haunts their home.
  • Christian Jadah as Bjorn, Thorfinn's son, who married a Danish woman and had three children, travelled to find his father, and now haunts the Farnsbys' property, having died at about the same age as Thor. Sam helps him reconnect with his father by having them shout to each other through the windows.
    • Louis Labonville as Young Bjorn.
  • Nichole Sakura as Jessica (season 2), a permanently drunk ghost who died in a car crash while driving under the influence of alcohol and is now bound to a small perimeter around her former car, enabling her to travel more freely than other ghosts can. She has a brief relationship with Sass when Freddy, who bought Jessica's car, begins working as an assistant at the manor.
  • Caroline Aaron as Carol (guest Seasons 1–2, recurring Season 3), Pete's widow, who cheated on him with his best friend Jerry when he was alive. She becomes a new ghost on the Woodstone property in the third season after fatally choking on a doughnut hole. She becomes engaged to Baxter in the third-season finale.
  • Mary Holland as Patience (season 4), a mentally unstable, stridently moralistic Puritan ghost who led a life of austerity; fell down a hole with Thor, Sass, and Isaac at some point in the 1890s; and remains stranded in the dirt until she finds a way back into the house in the present. As a result of her mental state, she often shouts her own name when feeling intense emotions. She can also make walls bleed and write short messages with the blood.[18]

Living

  • Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll as Todd Pearlman, an obsessive fan of Alberta's who operates a "museum" dedicated to her out of his mother's garage.

11"Pilot"Trent O'DonnellTeleplay by : Joe Port & Joe WisemanOctober 7, 2021 (2021-10-07)GHO1015.52[24]
Samantha "Sam" and Jay Arondekar, a young married couple living in a cramped New York apartment, inherit an old mansion from Sophie Woodstone, Sam's great aunt. However, the house is inhabited by a collection of ghosts who died on the property over a thousand-year period, are invisible and intangible to the living, can phase through walls but not floors or ceilings, and cannot eat or drink but require sleep. After learning that Sam and Jay plan to open a bed and breakfast, the ghosts struggle to haunt them out of the house, fearing constant disturbance and risk of being walked through by the living, a deeply painful experience for ghosts. Trevor, who can interact with the corporeal world to a limited degree, accidentally causes Sam to trip over a vase he moved, fall down the stairs, and almost die. She revives with the ability to see and hear them.

Sam, now able to see, hear, and interact with the ghosts, tries to ignore them, believing them to be a symptom of her injuries and induced coma. However, after encountering more ghosts during a doctor's appointment and in the mansion's basement, she eventually accepts their existence and convinces her husband that they are real while offering to have them peacefully cohabitate as best they can until the ghosts can move on into the afterlife (which they refer to as being "sucked off", unaware that the phrase is considered an innuendo in modern times except Trevor who enjoys the term).

Taking advantage of Sam's ability to see and hear them, Isaac, Hetty, Sasappis and Thorfinn guard the mansion against middle school vandals. Meanwhile, Alberta, Pete and Trevor are horrified by media depictions of ghosts and how they're treated as they watch Ghostbusters.

On the eve of hosting a wedding of a major online influencer, a worker discovers a passageway and vault under the house containing the ghost and corpse of Hetty's amoral husband Elias (Matt Walsh), a robber baron.

Sam and Jay plan to sell his corpse's gold pocket watch to temporarily thwart his plan.

Meanwhile, Sasappis, tired of rooming with Pete, asks the scout leader to be less overly cheerful, and he feigns adopting a more dour and cynical personality.

Thinking they can move on as well, Hetty and Alberta try to form intimate relationships with the still somewhat depressed Thor, who rebuffs their advances when he learns of their intentions, explaining that Flower was his first girlfriend who genuinely listened to him. After the Arondekars agree not to put up their new TV after all, their preparations for Halloween give Trevor the idea to bring Flower back from the afterlife through a seance, restoring Thor's enthusiasm.

Jay fears that revealing the truth will end their relationship, while Eric confides that he lied to bring some new life into the romance. Sam returns due to a train rescheduling and learns this as well. Eric plans to pretend to lose his "power" by purposely falling down the stairs but blows his cover when he lies about passing through Flower first despite Jay informing Bela that Flower has moved on. The Arondekars persuade Bela to give him one more chance, as they are a good match. Meanwhile, Hetty brings Isaac and Nigel together to discuss financial arrangements for their wedding in light of the book money Sam has allowed Isaac to spend as he decides.

While Sam and Jay are out of town for the weekend, Stephanie comes down from the attic and bemoans how Ralph, her cholera victim boyfriend, moved on to the afterlife several months earlier. While the other ghosts realise that Flower may not have moved on but is lost somewhere, Thorfinn however believes she has went to the great beyond as he believes she has been communicating with him from beyond and saying she is "well" whenever he walks in the forest. The other ghosts correctly conclude that Flower is still on earth and stuck down the well in the woods, where they find her unable to climb out due to her phasing through the walls into the dirt. Sasappis and Isaac recall a time they, Thor, and Puritan ghost named Patience were stuck in a hole but navigated their way through dirt back to the manor's basement. Along the way, Isaac, who was holding Patience's hand, sneezed and let her go, leaving her to an unknown fate. Mark prepares to fill the well with cement, so Trevor, unable to open a drawer to access Sam's tablet, uses Mark's phone to contact the Arondekars, though they can't see any of the ghosts over video chat.

Using some key locations from the Hudson Valley he once knew that still exist as well as the stars, he finds his way back home.

Isaac has an erotic dream about Chris, the stripper who gave him a lap dance.

The Arondekars ask the other ghosts about where the absent Isaac was last seen until a suspiciously nervous Nancy admits she witnessed Patience the Puritan ghost dragging him through the basement wall into the soil, having been alerted by the loud bass from Isaac's wedding music. While Patience holds him hostage, Isaac mentions missing his friends, prompting Patience to briefly reenter the basement and abduct Sasappis. Sam and Jay then begin looking for where to dig to rescue their friends using clues from Flower, which turn out to be 1960s song lyrics. Sass and Isaac reminisce about their time underground and make fun of Patience's tendency to shout her own name as a sign of her instability, so Patience, feeling unloved, returns them both to the basement. Sam convinces the ghosts to show Patience how much they care. Trevor, who has been struggling with self-image issues due to Thorfinn's teasing, directs both the upstairs and basement ghosts to form a chain leading to Patience's hiding spot under the mansion's fountain, and Isaac, who had made a promise to become a better person, persuades Patience to join them. Patience spends that night in Alberta's room, making Alberta panic.
522"Sam's Dad"Richie KeenJosh MalmuthOctober 24, 2024 (2024-10-24)GHO4025.55[74]
Sam's father Frank, who was absent for most of her life after her parents divorced, arrives at the manor with his new girlfriend Diane. Enraged that the two of them share a bed despite not being married, Patience causes a wall to bleed. To keep her happy and prevent Frank and Diane from learning of the ghosts, the Arondekars try to separate the pair into two bedrooms for an "authentic" luxury experience, but when Frank sneaks out at night to sleep with Diane, Patience makes their shared bedroom wall bleed the word "Sin". Sam convinces Frank it was a prank and calls him out for his absence, and he and Diane start to leave, but Sam convinces them to stay by explaining she wants to be closer to her father; in response, the main ghosts tell Patience that Frank and Diane were instantly married in their car. The livings and ghosts gather to listen to Sam playing a recorder like she did in the 5th grade at a recital Frank missed. Meanwhile, Thorfinn and Flower agree to help Isaac persuade Nigel to move back to the shed in return for Isaac informing Nancy that the couple no longer considers her their third partner. Seeing Nigel in a dour mood, however, Flower and Thor allow him to stay. When Isaac finally musters the courage to tell Nigel to leave, Nigel reflects on how he now thinks of the mansion ghosts as family, so Isaac agrees to move to the shed instead. That night, Nigel decides they should switch places again, as Isaac had annoyed the other shed ghosts with a rant about becoming a better person.
533"Halloween 4: The Witch"Katie Locke O'BrienJoe Port & Joe WisemanOctober 31, 2024 (2024-10-31)GHO4035.82[75]

To appease Patience, Sam cancels Halloween, to the disappointment of Jay and the other ghosts, and instead hosts a yard sale. Patience, convinced that Sam is a witch, places her on trial in absentia, and after most of the ghosts get revenge by voting that she is guilty of witchcraft, Patience declares that she will turn Sam to stone as punishment. At the yard sale, Jay sells a statue that strikingly resembles Sam, who was wearing one of Hetty's old dresses as a period costume; in response, Trevor texts Jay to go after Jamie, the man who bought the statue and hosts a Web video series where he detonates various items. At Jamie's house, which is haunted by a Vietnam veteran Pete befriends, Jay reluctantly trades in one of his favorite sci-fi collectibles for the Sam-like statue. Isaac introduces Patience to television, which she believes is sinful despite being entertained by it, and tactically threatens to use her enjoyment against her as blackmail in Sam's retrial. The ghosts almost agree to overturn their verdict as Flower hugs Jay in celebration; in his brief high, he accidentally decapitates the statue. The real Sam shows up alive, explaining that she found the statue among the multitude of artifacts in the ballroom. Later, Patience announces she is going back underground, hinting that there are other ghosts dwelling in the dirt.

Meanwhile, Sasappis becomes smitten with Marisa, an actress in the troupe, and convinces Jay via Sam to fill his head with thoughts about her before going to sleep each night so he can talk to a manifestation of Marisa in Jay's subconscious.

A publisher tells Sam she must find any primary sources to confirm if any of the information in Isaac's book is true. To protect Isaac's existence as a ghost from being discovered, she and Jay follow his instructions to find his lost journal, conveniently found beneath a cobblestone outside Fort Ticonderoga, but every entry in the journal is useless and related to food, especially sandwiches. Jay proposes a scheme to fill the blank pages with knowledge about Isaac's life, which the Revolutionary dramatically narrates, drawing the attention of both the upstairs and cholera ghosts. An assessor arrives and puts on his smock for work, making Sam mistake him for a cholera ghost and admit her and Jay's scheme. Sam works out an agreement with the publisher whereby Isaac's book can still be published as a young adult vampire romance fiction and persuades Isaac to go forward with the plan. Several of the ghosts observe Jay stepping on a ghost snail and plan to take turns caring for it. When the snail goes missing, everyone assumes Thorfinn ate it until Trevor, who feigned indifference at first, admits he took it because he died while his dog Bucky was still alive and misses having a pet. After Trevor shows the snail The Cutting Edge, he has an emotional moment and appears to begin moving on to the afterlife, only to realize the snail is ascending very slowly instead.

After Henry turns against Jay when he and Margaret have an argument, Thorfinn learns from Bjorn that Henry forgot their anniversary, so the Arondekars lure them into having a romantic dinner to rekindle their marriage, only to discover that their "anniversary" was actually to celebrate the first time they had an orgy. Isaac receives a backordered children's dinosaur bed meant for him and Nigel to share after their wedding, and Nigel seeks to claim ownership, prompting Jay to move it to the shed. Nigel regifts the bed to Baxter and Carol. Isaac is taken aback but then impressed when Nigel criticizes the bed as anatomically inaccurate.
