Shrieking laughter and icy chills are on the upswing again as our beloved CBS sitcom, Ghosts, is creeping back into production for its much-anticipated third season! News of the upcoming tales from the spirited side comes straight from cast member Román Zaragoza, a familiar, spectral face from the series. Juggling the roles of modern actor and historical misfit, Zaragoza delivers an intriguing sneak peek of the on-set magic that's currently brewing.
Ghosts' charmingly haunting plot revolves around star-crossed homeowners Sam and Jay Arondekar, who find their peaceful abode is anything but. In their delightfully eerie estate, an amalgamation of ghosts from various eras pops in and out of existence, curating an unorthodox harmony of laughter and chills. It should be no surprise then, that the spectacular cast - including Rose McIver, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Brandon Scott Jones, Danielle Pinnock, Richie Moriarty, Devan Chandler, Asher Grodman, Rebecca Wisocky, among others - has successfully spirited away the audience's attention season after season.
Zaragoza recently thrilled the Ghosts' fandom with some backstage photos on Instagram, featuring a mix of cheeky selfies, the promising season 3 slate, and associate Ambudkar in camouflaged action. Hidden in those casual snapshots are the underlying hints that the eerie machinations of the Ghosts stage have sprung back, after wrestling with the fallout of a series of professional writers and actors strikes.
Let's cruise back for context. Season 2 struck a nerve with the surprise arrival of Kelsey, a mysterious associate of Sophie Woodstone, declaring to be the rightful owner of the hilariously haunted house. The sneaky lawyer, the haunted house, the secret plan, it was a thriller! As we were left hanging on the cliff’s edge, the silhouette of a departing spirit sparked wonder. Whose ghostly existence ended?
Season 3 promises to deal with the aftermath and explore new subplots. The ongoing romance between Issac and Nigel, the quirky lovestruck pair, might face an emotional bump, and the future of the equally loved bed and breakfast is a mystery yet unravelled. And let’s not forget, more glimpses into the ethereal life of Zaragoza’s character will certainly enchant the fans.
The cast and crew's tussle with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes had kept us in the dark about the third season's progress. But as it seems, Ghosts is set to overcome its hurdles stronger than ever, making a grand appearance in early 2024. Let's hope Zaragoza, or maybe some other cast members, will keep ghosting us with more enticing behind-the-scenes gossip until then.
Mark your calendars (and Ouija boards), spectral sitcom fans: Ghosts Season 3 is scheduled to premiere on February 15, 2024. Until then, stay spooked, stay tuned, and don't let the ghosts bite!
