Premise
Married New Yorkers Samantha and Jay Arondekar believe that their dreams have come true when they inherit a beautiful country house from Sophie Woodstone, Sam's great aunt, only to find that it is falling apart and inhabited by ghosts who died on the property and are now bound to the area, appearing as they did at the times of their deaths, until they can reach the afterlife. Jay cannot see or hear the ghosts, but Sam can after a near-death experience.
Cast
Main
Living
- Rose McIver as Samantha "Sam" Arondekar, a freelance journalist who, after an accident that leaves her clinically dead for three minutes, revives with the ability to see, hear, and interact with ghosts. She is based on Alison Cooper from the original British series.
- Utkarsh Ambudkar as Jay Arondekar, Samantha's husband and a chef with many typically "nerdy" interests such as comic books, sci-fi films, video games, and Dungeons & Dragons. He often attempts to communicate with the ghosts despite being unable to see or hear them. He is loosely based on Mike Cooper from the original British series.
Ghosts
- Devan Chandler Long as Thorfinn "Thor", an aggressive, often melodramatic Viking from Norway and the oldest of the ghosts, who set out to explore North America over 1,000 years ago but was abandoned by his shipmates and died from a lightning strike. He has the ability to manipulate electricity and enjoys watching TV as well as regaling his friends with stories of combat, especially against Danes, and his favorite foods, particularly cod. He has a son named Bjorn, now a ghost on an adjacent property, who married a Danish woman. His previous ghost girlfriends include Luella and "Flat Maria", both of whom have since moved on to the afterlife. He is loosely based on Robin the caveman in the original British series.
- Román Zaragoza as Sasappis "Sass", a cynical Lenape man, who often serves as the voice of reason for the other ghosts. He was fatally shot under unknown circumstances and can influence living people's thoughts by interacting with them as characters in their dreams, making him the only ghost who can directly speak to Jay. He enjoys storytelling, stirring up drama, watching TV, and smelling all sorts of food, especially pizza, prepared by the living.
- Brandon Scott Jones as Captain Isaac Higgintoot, an initially closeted gay Continental Army officer who died of dysentery two weeks after the siege of Fort Ticonderoga and has been largely forgotten by history, making him immensely jealous of the more famous Alexander Hamilton. The living can smell a foul odor if he passes through them. At the end of the first season, he begins a relationship with Nigel Chessum, a British officer haunting a shed on the property, whom he accidentally killed with an invention that would become the sniper rifle. They become engaged at the end of the second season. He is based mainly on the Captain in the original British series, while his ghost power is similar to that of Mary the witch trial victim.
- Rebecca Wisocky as Henrietta "Hetty" Woodstone, the uptight lady of the manor, Sam's great-great-great-great-aunt, and wife of the original owner of the Woodstone country estate built during the New York Gilded Age. She takes pride in being wealthy, looks down her nose on the working class and anyone Irish, and experimented with now-illicit drugs throughout her life, including cocaine and morphine. Her husband cheated on her in life with many different women, while her son Thomas was responsible for Alberta's murder. She strangled herself to death in 1895 using an early telephone cord to avoid being arrested for her husband's crimes and allow Thomas to receive his inheritance from her in the process. She is based on Lady Fanny Button in the original British series.
- Alice Manning as Young Hetty, who could see ghosts as a small child.
- Danielle Pinnock as Alberta Haynes, a flamboyant Prohibition-era Lounge singer who was murdered by drinking strychnine-laced moonshine; solving her murder is a key plot arc of the second season. Her humming can be heard by the living. She can also be heard by Alexa devices.
- Sheila Carrasco as Susan "Flower" Montero, a cheerful and sweet but naive and forgetful hippie who lived in both a commune and a cult in the 1960s. She was mauled to death by a bear she tried to hug while under the influence of drugs. She can put a living person into a hallucinogenic high if she passes through them, and likes group sex. She shares a closeness and gentle flirtation with Thorfinn, and they start dating later in the second season. She goes missing in the third season, causing her friends to believe she has moved on to the afterlife, but she has actually fallen down a well, leading Hetty to rescue her with the telephone cord she used to strangle herself.
- Richie Moriarty as Peter "Pete" Martino, a friendly and polite but socially awkward travel agent and Pinecone Trooper leader of Italian descent who died in 1985 when one of his scouts accidentally shot him through the neck with an arrow. He has an unrequited romantic interest in Alberta, and Jay considers him one of his best friends despite being unable to perceive his presence due to many shared interests between them. Among his varied interests are improv, basketball, Dungeons & Dragons, and Star Wars films. His power is the ability to leave the property. He is based on Pat Butcher in the original British series.
- Asher Grodman as Trevor Lefkowitz, the most recently deceased of the ghosts, a wealthy, womanizing, hard-partying stockbroker and Wharton School alumnus of Jewish ancestry who died in 2000 from a heart attack, caused by an accidental drug overdose, while not wearing pants. Though he claims he lost his pants because he died during a sexual encounter, he simply lent his pants to a friend as a good deed. He can physically interact with the corporeal world to a limited degree, usually with only one index finger, if he concentrates hard enough. He is loosely based on Julian Fawcett MP in the original British series.
- Sam Ashe Arnold as Young Trevor.
Recurring
Ghosts
- Hudson Thames (Season 1) and Alex Boniello (Seasons 2-present) as the head of Crash, a smooth-talking 1950s-era greaser ghost who was decapitated. He is loosely based on Sir Humphrey Bone in the British version; however, unlike Humphrey, whose head is always present in each appearance, Crash's head goes missing in the pilot episode when Thorfinn accidentally knocks it off his neck. Only his body (played by Matt Keyes) appears until his head is recovered in "Ghost Father of the Bride."
- The cholera victim ghosts (also called basement ghosts): an indeterminate number of ghosts who died during a 19th-century cholera outbreak. Although they can go upstairs if they wish, their sickly appearances disturb the upstairs ghosts, so they spend all their time in the basement and are experts on the house's heating system. They are based on the plague ghosts in the British version.
- Betsy Sodaro as Cholera Victim Nancy, who becomes Pete's fake girlfriend and lives upstairs briefly, though she continues being a nuisance to him.

They keep mostly to themselves and come up to the main house to redraw the borderlines every few years.

- Odessa A'zion as Stephanie, a senior high school student who was murdered on her prom night by a chainsaw killer in 1987. She sleeps in the attic for months at a time, as extended sleep periods are common for ghosts who die in their teen years, and wakes up around the day of her prom night each year.

Sam almost reverses the alleged curse by mixing cinnamon and sugar in hot water but decides not to do so, as she does not want to take the very small chance of losing her ability. She tells Jay that, no matter how many obstacles they encounter, they should continue working to get their business started. Meanwhile, Isaac sets out to tell Nigel that he likes him but is heartbroken when Jenkins, a subordinate, informs him that Nigel has ascended into the afterlife.

Taking offense to his wife and cooking being insulted, Jay stands up for Sam, who tells the guests what they know about their Yelp activity, which they mistakenly thought was anonymous and ultimately earns the B&B a five-star review. Meanwhile, Nigel confides to Isaac how he feels about Thorfinn energetically disrupting their TV time, and when Isaac asks Thor to be more quiet, the Viking dejectedly leaves for the cholera pit. That evening, he apologizes to Thor, who turns out to share Nigel's love of watching ants. | ||||||||||||||

| A murder mystery podcast inspires Sam to develop her own based on Alberta's turbulent life. To gather more information, she invites Alberta's obsessive fan Todd back to the mansion despite Jay and the ghosts' warnings, and he comes across Alberta's secret diary. This prompts the singer to open up about being discriminated against because of her size; to this end, she ratted out Clara Brown, a rival singer, for bootlegging alcohol so she could earn a gig on stage. Sasappis recognizes Clara's name and recalls how she was present in the mansion at one time, making her a suspect for Alberta's murder and bringing more excitement and intrigue to the podcast. Meanwhile, Flower shows Hetty how to use the mansion's broken washing machine as a sexual stimulant. | ||||||||||||||

| A small cult claiming to be a business group visits the manor, and their charismatic leader Micah deceives Jay into joining them, delighting Flower but concerning Sam and the other ghosts. While Sam gradually convinces Jay of the truth, Flower opens up to Alberta about how she chose to join a hippie commune instead of supporting her brother Rob, who went M.I.A. during his service in the Vietnam War. The cultists refuse to leave when asked because, as Jay realizes, the contract he had signed gave them permission to stay on the land indefinitely. At Flower's suggestion, Sam lies about being intimate with Micah to stir up a conflict and drive them out of the mansion. Meanwhile, Sasappis, tired of rooming with Pete, asks the scout leader to be less overly cheerful, and he feigns adopting a more dour and cynical personality. During a sunset, Pete tells Sass that his optimistic attitude regarding eternity comes from cherishing special moments that happen along the way, which he points out when Sam shows Flower that she wrote an email as a pretend commune member to Rob, who is still alive and wrote back a heartwarming message about his sister. | ||||||||||||||

| Sam and Jay's new neighbors, June and Ally, want to cut down an old tree. Sasappis has Sam tell the neighbors that the tree has a special significance to the Lenape people who lived on the land, noting the thirteen marks on the tree that he claims represent the Lenape language's dialects. Sam writes an op-ed in the local paper to get people's attention, but Sass confesses to the other ghosts that the thirteen marks are for every time Shiki said hello to him. As protesters arrive at the tree, Bob, who represents the Hudson Valley Lenape Culture Center, arrives and tells Sam that she is incorrect about her Lenape information, so Sass tells her the truth. The tree is cut down, and June and Ally give Sam seeds from the old tree to grow new ones. Meanwhile, acting on Trevor's advice, Thorfinn tries to get closer to Flower by learning about environmental issues, which interest her, but becomes overly concerned with protecting the environment. Flower tells him to use what he has learned to inspire rather than harass people. | ||||||||||||||

To liven up their dull party, the ghosts tell Sam to do a séance with their guests. They bring back Molly, Hetty's Irish-born maid and her husband's mistress, from the afterlife. While the guests leave, Sam tricks Hetty and Molly into entering the ghostproof vault so they can resolve their old tensions. One man passes through Isaac and smells him, but Isaac tells Nigel that Pete is the source of the stench. Flower forgets Sam is in there and shuts the door, trapping her. Realizing a feather duster that Ally borrowed for her maid costume is the key ingredient that brought back Molly, Jay hurries to Liam Neeson's house and retrieves the duster. Back in the manor, Jay fogs up a mirror so Trevor can write where Sam is but misinterprets Trevor's incomplete message. Isaac reluctantly passes through Jay, using his stench as a signal to read the full message so Jay can rescue Sam, and Nigel appreciates his honesty.

| Sam discovers Thorfinn has a son named Bjorn, who has not seen his father since he was a young child, came to North America to find him in adulthood, and ended up haunting the Farnsbys' house. Because the Arondekars and the Farnsbys are not next-door neighbors, Sam decides to have the Vikings shout to each other through the houses' windows to reconnect. While reading Sam's notes from her interview with Bjorn, Thor is enraged to discover his son married and had three children with a Danish woman. He plans to announce that he has disowned Bjorn during their conversation but has a change of heart when he hears Bjorn call him "Father", something he was too young to do when they last saw each other. Meanwhile, Trevor schemes to outcompete Hetty, who has amassed an impressive afterlife "wealth" in back rub time, by using TV time as a new currency. Hetty convinces him to share his TV time, although he discovers that this was a trick so she could watch her favorite show: Bodices and Barons. | ||||||||||||||

| Paula, a producer behind the documentary TV series Dumb Deaths, wants to make a short film about Flower's death, although Flower is reluctant to having her image used in an unflattering light to raise money for the B&B. A chat between Sam and Paula leads the latter to prepare for a short film about Pete's death instead, but Pete does not want to be remembered as a failed scout leader. Sam and Jay reach out to Jennifer, a now-grown former member of Pete's troop, so she can provide a positive eye witness case for him. The ghosts plot to sabotage the production, and after Thorfinn runs out of energy from draining a camera battery, a production crew member gets high from passing through Flower, then shoots an arrow into Jay's rear. Jennifer follows safety precautions needed to remove the arrow that she learned from Pete, reminding him that he was a good leader after all. Meanwhile, Sam's interview with Isaac and Nigel about the American Revolution causes their old sentiments from the war to resurface, but she resolves their tensions by reminding Isaac of the U.S. and Britain's much friendlier present-day relations.

Since they have been selling alcohol illegally, Alberta encourages them to keep up the ruse for one more day despite Pete's objections. The liquor license inspector unexpectedly arrives during the whiskey tasting, so the Arondekars keep her from discovering the liquor by sending their guests into the vault for a "speakeasy" experience. When Alberta recalls a stash of Prohibition-era whiskey hidden in a wall, Sam and Jay try to convince the inspector to move to a room where she won't hear the wall being hammered open, but she sets up her final review work in the kitchen next to the whiskey wall. Jay tenderizes some meat loudly to drown out Sam breaking open the wall, and their party is a success, although they realize too late that selling the whiskey instead could have made them more money. Meanwhile, Isaac, who claims to have been in the Freemasons, wants to start his own intellectual fraternity for the ghosts, who all end up joining Trevor's fraternity because of the fun he promises. Trevor has a change of heart and invites Isaac, who was never really a Mason, to join the speakeasy party in the vault.

Trevor, previously Bela's "boyfriend", hatches a plan to possess Eric so he can be intimate with her for one night, and Bela agrees to his text invitation. After learning from Jay about how he was possessed by Hetty, Bela convinces Eric, who is genuinely interested in her, to go forward with the plan as well. That night, Jay catches Bela and Eric attempting to recreate the circumstances that led to Jay's possession and orders them to stop. Meanwhile, Isaac attempts to kiss Nigel for the first time under some mistletoe, but his nerves cause Nigel to leave for the shed. On Christmas Morning, Sam converses with Thorfinn, who despises Christmas for appropriating elements from Norse traditions, as she attempts to fix the sconce that caused Hetty's possession, gets shocked, and falls onto Thor, making him possess her. Part 2 – A heartbroken Eric leaves for the nearby train station, so Jay sets out to bring him back. At the station, they eventually agree to allow Trevor to possess Eric. While everyone waits for Jay's return, Thor, now in full control of Sam's body, opens his Christmas present: a decorative Viking ship model in a bottle, and he has a change of heart about the holiday. Jay returns with Eric, who attempts to shock himself on the sconce but fatally electrocutes himself and becomes a ghost. Thor revives Eric using his powers as a defibrillator, exposing himself as Sam's possessor, so Jay drives Sam over the ghost barrier, freeing the Viking. The livings and ghosts celebrate Christmas in full the next day. Elsewhere, Isaac has a nightmare about his wife Beatrice calling him a "big gay liar". In telling this to his friends, he shows a cricket Beatrice embroidered for him, making Sasappis remember how Beatrice visited Isaac on his deathbed.

The ghosts, who are concerned about the attention Sam is giving Freddy, discover that Jessica, a woman in Freddy's car, is a permanently drunk ghost who died in an accident that left her bound to a small area around the vehicle. Jessica lies and states that Freddy is a hit-and-run driver responsible for her death, leading the Arondekars to fire him over a cover story. However, she soon confides to the ghosts that she actually died upon crashing into a telephone pole, and that Freddy bought the car at a sale a few years later, but she does not want to give up life on the road.

Sam takes out her frustration on Freddy, who promptly quits. Upon reviewing the incorrect data and learning that no livings were awake at the time, Sam and Jay deduce that the ghosts were responsible and are forced to beg Freddy to return.

| Following his discovery of the front desk computer's keys moving seemingly on their own, Freddy purchases ghost-hunting equipment, including a ghost trap from Latvia. The ghosts are skeptical that the trap works, dismissing it as a children's toy, but when a worried Pete refuses to test it, Thorfinn, wanting to show his bravery, gets sucked inside. Flower soon naively follows suit. Freddy calls the company that sent him the trap, and Sam presses a button that causes the device to prepare to eviscerate the ghosts from existence. As the group realizes the label on the device means it can only hold a maximum of two ghosts, Pete willingly risks his afterlife existence and allows the device to trap him, malfunction, and free all three of its captives. Due to their heartfelt conversation in the trap, Flower decides she wants to date only Thor, and he warmly agrees. Freddy, fed up with the chaos in the mansion, quits for good after hearing Alberta's humming again.

The next day, Flower does not appear to remember the previous night, so Thor requests to have the same night recreated exactly. When Flower helps Sam remember something she said before, she admits that she only pretended to forget the date because she is afraid her relationship with Thor will not last forever; her last two-person relationship in life ended when her then-boyfriend Michael died. Thor assures her that, as long as neither can die, they can stay together. Elsewhere, Nigel moves into the library but does not invite Hetty to his welcoming party, so Hetty, who used to be closer with Isaac before he started dating Nigel, seeks revenge by starting her own party.

At the club, Sam and Jay encounter David's ghost, who explains that he had been sterile since before he met the woman's mother. Using this information, the couple gets the woman and her lawyer to admit that they had plotted to buy and resell the mansion at an immensely high profit to pay off gambling debts.

Thorfinn struggles to find closure, so Jay tries comforting him by explaining the Hinduist concept of reincarnation. Jay's plans to convert the barn on the property into a restaurant are stunted when he and Sam find an owl perched on the rafters, which Thor immediately believes is Flower reincarnated, as they fell in love over their affinity for owls. Hoping to reach a compromise, Sam keeps the owl caged in the main house, only for guests to find it too noisy. The Arondekars help Thor let go of the owl as they remind him of Flower's free spirit, and he agrees that "Flower" should be free.

When Pete tells Carol that Nancy is his "mistress," she tries to advise him on how to successfully have an affair, although his conscience leads him to confront Carol about her unfaithfulness. Soon after, Pete apologizes to Alberta for dragging her into his ruse, but as he removes his arrow from his neck, she realizes she indeed has romantic feelings for him. | |||||||

| Trevor's brother Jeremy visits the manor, having been fired from their father's business. Though he claims to be worse off financially, he starts buying the most expensive items available to guests. He then reveals he has exploited a loophole in the Woodstone guest rewards program and amassed over one million reward points using 10,000 fake email addresses, allowing him to stay at the mansion for free for a year. Jay challenges him to Super Mega Bowl, a football video game that the Lefkowitz brothers played growing up. Despite losing to Trevor throughout his childhood, Jeremy is now a world record holder, so Hetty, via Sam, tries to help Jay cheat. Trevor catches Sam in the act, leaving Jay alone against his competitor. Jeremy admits he actually quit his father's business because he didn't want to take it over. Just before Jeremy can score a winning goal, Trevor gives him a wet willy in his ear, costing him the game but motivating him to act more maturely and leave to start a new venture. At the same time, Carol charms Pete into rekindling their intimate relationship. When she later flirts with Thorfinn, he agrees to Sassapis's plan to subject Carol to a loyalty test and ends up sleeping with Carol. Infuriated to learn this, Pete punches Thor, who ultimately congratulates him for using violence to solve a problem. Also, Isaac becomes intensely fascinated to learn about dinosaurs for the first time. | |||||||

| A baseball player ghost named Saul arrives at the mansion alongside new guest Gene. He explains that he is a poltergeist and has the power to travel anywhere by forcibly binding himself to small perimeters around different human hosts, then demonstrates by binding himself to Jay so he can start a relationship with Alberta. This frustrates the Arondekars as they now know the two are having an intimate relationship in close proximity. Alberta begins having second thoughts when Saul states his plan to continue to become attached to new human hosts as long as he remains on earth so he can continue their relationship. They part on amicable terms when Saul admits his clingy nature and returns to having Gene as his host. Meanwhile, the main male ghosts except Isaac throw a bachelor party for Nigel, whose subordinate and ex-lover Jenkins performs a lap dance. When Isaac finds out, Nigel claims it was "in good fun" and suggests his fiancé have a lap dance of his own. Sam hires an Australian male stripper, telling him to perform before what he sees as an empty chair, though Isaac is so aroused by both the stripper's performance and his knowledge of dinosaurs that he cannot concentrate on his conversation with Nigel the next morning. | |||||||

| While Sam and Jay are out of town for the weekend, Stephanie comes down from the attic and bemoans how Ralph, her cholera victim boyfriend, moved on to the afterlife several months earlier. Thorfinn explains who Stephanie is to Nancy, reminding him of how he used to explain things to Flower, whom he believes has been communicating with him from beyond and saying she is "well" whenever he walks in the forest. The other ghosts correctly conclude that Flower is still on earth and stuck down the well in the woods, where they find her unable to climb out due to her phasing through the walls into the dirt. Sasappis and Isaac recall a time they, Thor, and another ghost who has since moved on were stuck in a hole but navigated their way through dirt back to the manor's basement. Along the way, they met a Puritan woman named Patience, whom they lost when Isaac sneezed, leaving her to an unknown fate. Mark prepares to fill the well with cement, so Trevor, unable to open a drawer to access Sam's tablet, uses Mark's phone to contact the Arondekars, though they can't see any of the ghosts over video chat. Hetty reluctantly reveals she strangled herself using an early telephone cord to avoid trouble with the law for her husband's crimes and to protect her son. She uses this cord, now part of her ghost being, to rescue Flower, who joyfully reunites with Thor as the Arondekars arrive home. | |||||||
