Finally, Utkarsh Ambudkar is going to see dead people.
For three seasons of the CBS supernatural comedy “Ghosts,” his character’s wife has been able to converse with colorful specters, but he hasn’t. That changes in Season 4 (premiering Thursday, 8:30 EDT/PDT), and Ambudkar was excited to hear the news.
“Yes! I wish I was strong enough to throw this table right now,” Ambudkar said during a “Ghosts” presentation at pop-culture confab Comic-Con in July. “I finally get to talk to people at work.”
“Ghosts” centers on Sam (Rose McIver) and Jay (Ambudkar) as a couple who move to upstate New York when they inherit a rundown mansion and decide to turn it into Woodstone Bed & Breakfast. Sam has a near-death experience, allowing her to interact with the assorted colorful ghosts who inhabit the place.
The new season, taped in Montreal, will add a pair of new personalities – dead and living.
Mary Holland is joining the cast as Patience, the ghost of an ultra-judgmental Puritan woman abandoned by gay Revolutionary War phantom Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones). In the Season 3 finale, the feral Patience emerged from her dirty place of unrest to kidnap Isaac, and fans will see what she has in store for him in the Season 4 premiere.
