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, a distant relative of Sam's, only to find that it is falling apart and inhabited by ghosts who died on the mansion's grounds and are now bound to the area until they can reach the afterlife. Jay cannot see or hear the ghosts, but Samantha can, after having a near-death experience.

Cast

Ghosts

  • Brandon Scott Jones as Captain Isaac Higgintoot, an initially closeted gay American Revolution officer[6] who died of dysentery[7] two weeks after the siege of Fort Ticonderoga[8] and has been largely forgotten by history, making him immensely jealous of the more famous Alexander Hamilton.[8] The living can smell a foul odor if he passes through them. He is based on the Captain in the original British series.
  • Danielle Pinnock as Alberta Haynes, a flamboyant Prohibition-era jazz singer[6] who died from drinking poisoned moonshine.[9] Her humming can be heard by the living.[7] She can be heard by Alexa devices.

  • The cholera victim 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.

    • Betsy Sodaro as Cholera Victim Nancy
    • Stuart Fink as Cholera Victim Stuart

    • Nigel Downer as Cholera Victim Nigel
    • Cat Lemieux as Cholera Victim Catherine

    • Christian Daoust as Jenkins, Nigel's subordinate who possesses a musket.

  • Lindsey Broad as Judy, Henry Farnsby's deceased mother, who now haunts their home.

Living

  • Mark Linn-Baker and Kathryn Greenwood as Henry and Margaret Farnsby, Sam and Jay's neighbors who promise to support their permit applications for their renovations. They are based on Barclay Beg-Chetwynde and his wife Bunny in the British version; though they are more rude, while Barclay and Bunny are more polite and innocent.

  • Odessa A'zion as Stephanie, a teenage ghost 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 teens, and wakes up around the day of her prom night each year.
  • Drew Tarver as Micah, a charismatic cult leader who attempts to manipulate Jay into joining his group so they can move into the mansion.
  • Hannah Rose May as Molly, an Irish maid with whom Elias had an affair when they were alive. She is brought back from the afterlife briefly through a seance.

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, Sassapis, tired of rooming with Pete, asks the scout leader to be less overly cheerful, and he feigns adopting a more dour and cynical personality.

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.

In response, Flower tells him to use what he has learned to inspire rather than harass people.

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.

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 after a meaningful dialogue, although he discovers that this was a trick so she could watch her favorite show.
257"Dumb Deaths"Nick WongSophia LearNovember 10, 2022 (2022-11-10)GHO2076.61[36]
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 passes through Flower, then shoots an arrow while in a drug-like trance 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. At the end of the day, the ghosts gather to watch Sam portray Flower in a televised Dumb Deaths episode.
