Samantha, a cheerful freelance journalist, and Jay, an up-and-coming chef from the city, throw both caution and money to the wind when they decide to convert a huge run-down country estate they inherited into a bed and breakfast -- only to find it's inhabited by the many spirits of deceased residents. The departed souls are a close-knit, eclectic group that includes a saucy Prohibition-era lounge singer, a pompous 1700's Militiaman, a '60s hippie fond of hallucinogens and an overly upbeat '80s scout troop leader. If the spirits were anxious about the commotion a renovation and B&B will create in their home, it's nothing compared to when they realize Samantha is the first live person who can see and hear them.

From new ghost powers to saving Jay from a Hell-ish fate, it’s always fun to see what shenanigans this found family gets up to. A top tier cast that continues to deliver! Go to Full Review

Abs B @Abs_B May 26 This series has totally lost the plot. Not sure what happened to the writers, but need the old ones back Please!!! See more Donn T. @greathawaiian May 1 4/30/2026 Ghosts episodes are getting progressively dumber and stupider. What happened to the good writing during the first season? Seems like they are getting desperate for new ideas but failing tremendously. Can this show get any more idiotic? The characters are getting more unlikable each episode. See more Zane T @ZaneThind Mar 20 Well if the last season was the best yet then this is better. It's also the funniest season in the entire show. There are episodes in this season that will keep you laughing throughout the entire episode. See more Finster M @Finster123 Mar 10 I love this show and I would give five stars if it weren’t for Sam. She was casted fine but her selfish character is always gaslighting people. I am utterly disappointed in the writers who came up with her personality. Everyone else is perfectly fine. It is just sam who aggravated me. See more Jen N @Flygirl2992 Feb 20 First half of this season has the old magic back. Can't wait for it to come back on next week! See more Cin C @CFCarrera Dec 4 The series manages to keep itself fresh with new situations ghosts and stunts, the feel of an old sitcom is to be cherished there aren't many shows that manage to accomplish what ghosts does in this day and age. I hope the show gets many more seasons as I feel they have the setup, the writing and the material to keep it going and keep it funny. See more Read all reviews
