In a recent breakdown of the finale, Ambudkar gave fans more than just closure—he dropped a few exciting hints about Season 5. Spoiler alert: Woodstone B&B might be heading into even more trouble.

Utkarsh Ambudkar dives into how Jay’s character arc reflects growth, trust, and an open mind… even if he can’t see the ghosts himself.

While the ghostly residents were having emotional showdowns and existential crises, Jay kept pushing forward with the B&B. But don’t mistake him for just comic relief. “Jay’s the emotional spine of the show,” Ambudkar said. And in the finale, he truly showed it.
Why Peril Is Perfect for Woodstone
Ambudkar nailed it when he said, “It’s always good for Woodstone BB to be in some sort of peril.” Why? Because peril creates stakes, tension, and character growth. Whether it’s a surprise visit from the authorities or a ghostly disappearance, trouble keeps the story alive.

Emotional Layers in a Comedy Format
It’s rare for a comedy to dive deep into grief, identity, and acceptance without losing its humor. Ghosts pulls it off flawlessly. Ambudkar praised the writers for “layering meaning under every laugh.”
Jay and Sam: The Relationship That Grounds the Chaos
Jay and Sam are one of TV’s most refreshingly quirky couples. Their dynamic is both hilarious and heartwarming. In Season 4, their bond is tested—but never broken. “They’re a team,” Ambudkar notes. “Even if Jay can’t see the ghosts, he believes in Sam.”

Beyond the jokes, the show subtly addresses the struggles of running a small business. Jay’s perseverance, especially with frequent ghost-related setbacks, shows resilience in the face of absurdity.
How Ghosts Tackles Grief and Growth
It’s not all laughs. Ghosts handles the concept of unfinished business with surprising depth. Each spirit represents a piece of unresolved history, and Jay—through Sam—is learning to honor those stories.
Utkarsh Ambudkar’s Favorite Moment from Season 4
Ambudkar revealed that his favorite scene was a quiet one—Jay talking to Sam about letting go. “It’s those human moments that make the show more than just a sitcom,” he shared.
Why Ghosts is More Than Just a Comedy
