McIver and Ambudkar play Samantha and Jay, a young couple who inherit their dream home, but soon come to find out it’s not only an absolute mess, but filled with the spirits of several previous inhabitants. While Jay can’t see or hear their ghostly roommates, Samantha can because she had a near-death experience that gives her a connection to these lost souls. The presence of theses ghastly spirits brings equal measures of chaos and warmth to the series. Despite its semi-dark premise,Ghostsis a good time with laughs aplenty.

CBS Entertainment PresidentKelly Kahlhappily announced the renewal, along with high praise for the cast and crew ofGhosts, saying they’ve “done a superb job of adaptingGhostsfor the U.S., absolutely making it their own.” Kahl went on to share that the show brings in great audience numbers, “this smart and charming show is delivering new creative highs, not to mention scaring up new audience highs, each week.”
