‘Ghosts’ Cast Talks Newcomers in Season 4 and the ‘Absolutely Surreal’ Experience of Meeting Fans: ‘It Goes to Show How Much of a People’s Show’ It’s Become

The cast and crew of the Paramount+ comedy “Ghosts” shot the entirety of Season 3 in Montreal for about half the year. So arriving at San Diego Comic-Con to a sea of adoring fans was a “surreal” experience, according to series star Utkarsh Ambudkar.

“We’re basically shooting 22 episodes in another country for most of the year, six or seven months. So to then come back to the States and walk into a room with thousands of people, who are apparently there to see us, is absolutely surreal,” Ambudkar said. “It’s so affirming, and it goes to show how much of a people’s show ‘Ghosts’ has become.”

Ambudkar sat down with co-stars Román Zaragoza, Rebecca Wisocky and Richie Moriarty in the Variety Studio, presented by Google TV, at 2024 San Diego Comic-Con to discuss the success of “Ghosts” and the upcoming fourth season.

“Ghosts” follows a young couple, Sam (Rose Mclver) and Jay (Ambudkar), who unknowingly inherit a haunted mansion with plans of turning it into a bed and breakfast. But after a freak accident, Sam is suddenly able to see all her supernatural housemates, putting a dent in the plans of the B&B.

In the new season of “Ghosts,” Ambudkar’s character Jay will finally be able to see the spirits for himself. Although the details are still blurry for Season 4, Ambudkar is excited to interact with his co-stars face-to-face for the first time.

“For me as an actor, it will be so nice to be able to make eye contact with my co-workers for the first time. I mean it’s pretty cool,” Ambudkar said.

“But we have no idea how long it is going to last,” teased Wisocky. “This is not necessarily a new permanent condition.”

New cast members will also be introduced in Season 4, including Mary Holland, who will play a Pruitian ghost from the 1600s named Patience. All coming from strong comedy backgrounds, Moriarty spoke for the entire cast when he said they were thrilled to hear Holland was joining the “Ghosts” team.

“A lot of us are improvisers on the cast and know her very well from the UCB world and the improvising world,” Moriarty said. “We were so excited the second we heard [she was cast]. She’s a fantastic addition.”
