The main cast of the Ghosts television show (the current U.S. CBS version) centers on a living couple and the eclectic ghosts who haunt their mansion.

Main living characters (CBS Ghosts)

  • Rose McIver as Samantha “Sam” Arondekar, a freelance journalist who inherits a country estate and, after a near‑death experience, can suddenly see and talk to ghosts.
  • Utkarsh Ambudkar as Jay Arondekar, Sam’s husband and an aspiring chef, who cannot see the ghosts but has to live with their constant unseen interference.

Core ghost characters

These are the primary ghosts who appear regularly in the house:

  • Brandon Scott Jones as Captain Isaac Higgintoot, an overly formal, closeted Revolutionary War officer who desperately wants historical recognition.
  • Danielle Pinnock as Alberta Haynes, a confident Prohibition‑era jazz singer with a murder mystery in her past.
  • Richie Moriarty as Pete Martino, a cheerful 1980s Scout troop leader who died in a freak archery accident.
  • Asher Grodman as Trevor Lefkowitz, a hard‑partying Wall Street bro from the early 2000s who famously haunts the house without pants.
  • RomĂĄn Zaragoza as Sasappis, a sardonic Lenape ghost with a storyteller’s flair who has been on the land the longest.
  • Rebecca Wisocky as Hetty Woodstone, the strict Gilded‑Age lady of the manor and an ancestor of Sam, obsessed with propriety and control.
  • Sheila Carrasco as Flower, a hippie from the 1960s who died in a cult‑related bear encounter and brings spaced‑out, idealistic energy.
  • Devan Chandler Long as Thorfinn, a loud but big‑hearted Viking warrior with a love of battle, fish, and dramatic pronouncements.

Notable recurring ghosts and characters

  • John Hartman as Nigel Chessum, a refined British officer from the Revolutionary era and Isaac’s love interest.
  • Betsy Sodaro as Nancy, a cholera‑basement ghost with a chaotic, mischievous streak.
  • Various “cholera victim” ghosts, neighbors, relatives, and townspeople appear through the seasons, played by recurring guest actors listed across the full cast credits.

UK Ghosts vs. U.S. Ghosts

There is also a British series called Ghosts (2019–2023) with a different cast and character set, including Lolly Adefope , Mathew Baynton , and Simon Farnaby as core ghosts in the original Button House.

The U.S. CBS version adapts the premise and tone but uses its own ensemble and American history‑flavored spirits, as listed above.
