Ghosts' 2 Additional Expansion Series Solves The Creators' Original Crossover Challenge
As Ghosts season 4’s premiere approaches, news of the hit CBS sitcom’s upcoming spinoffs proves that a crossover could perfect for the show’s future.
ByGhostsseason 4, Sam and Jay have thoroughly acclimated to life among the ghosts, although only Sam can communicate with them. The show’s lineup of ghosts has remained largely unchanged since its first season, with the series introducing the central lineup of Sass, Trevor, Hetty, Thor, Isaac, Alberta, Flower, and Pete back in its pilot episode. However, season 4 will change this as Isaac’s kidnapping from season 3’s cliffhanger finale introduces a new ghost to join the mansion’s inhabitants.

Devon Chandler Long
Thor
Although he is loyal,Ghostsstar Isaaccan be self-centered and thoughtless. Similarly, Sass has a guilty love of dramam while Hetty is high-minded and self-important.
