Ghosts is now the veteran sitcom airing on CBS, as Ghosts season 4 returns as part of the 2024 fall TV schedule along with a number of new/newer CBS shows as part of network's comedy lineup.

The adaptation of the BBC show is the latest example of a UK import becoming a big hit in the US (The Office, anyone?) Following Ghosts season 3 and its big exits and revelations, there is plenty more of the supernatural and afterlife to explore in the comedy series.

What lies in store for Ghosts season 4? Here is everything that we know about the latest season of the comedy.

Ghosts season 4 next episode

Ghosts is all new on Thursday, December 12, at 8:30 pm ET/PT on CBS. Here is the synopsis for the latest episode, titled "Sad Farnsby":

"When Sam accidentally creates a rift between Sam and Jay’s neighbors, the Farnsbys, Henry Farnsby moves into Woodstone B&B. Also, Isaac and Nigel battle over a belated wedding present."

If you want to watch Ghosts live, you need access to CBS through a traditional pay-TV provider, a TV antenna, a live TV streaming service that carries the network (Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, YouTube TV) or a Paramount Plus with Showtime subscription. To watch past episodes on-demand, any Paramount Plus subscription will work.

Ghosts season 4 cast

The main Ghosts cast are all set to return for season 4, including Rose McIver as Sam, Utkarsh Ambudkar as Jay, Brandon Scott Jones as Isaac, Danielle Pinnock as Alberta, Richie Moriarty as Pete, Asher Grodman as Trevor, Devan Chandler Long as Thorfinn, Roman Zaragoza as Sasappis and Rebecca Wisocky as Hetty.

It is unclear if Sheila Carrasco's Flower is going to pop in every once in a while as she did at the end of season 3 now that he character has officially moved on.

As for new additions to the cast, Mary Holland is joining the show as Patience, a Puritan ghost from the 1600s, while Dean Norris is going to guest star as Sam's father during the season.

Ghosts season 4 plot

The Ghosts premise continues to see Sam and Jay live in Woodstone with their ghost friends, who are all just trying to make the best of their afterlife. While major plotlines on the season are being kept under wraps, some details have come out.

Apparently Sam is no longer going to be the only one who can see the ghosts. In an interview with Variety at San Diego Comic Con 2024, Utkarsh Ambudkar revealed his character Jay is going to start seeing the ghosts in season 4, but how that happens is still a mystery and it may not be a permanent thing.

Also, Ghosts is going to have a one-hour Christmas special, which will introduce Jay's parents for the first time.
