Premise

Married New Yorkers Samantha and Jay Arondekar believe 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 from different eras of American history 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.^[10] 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.^[10] 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 conducted by the helmet he wore. 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.^[11]
• Román Zaragoza as Sasappis "Sass", a cynical Lenape man,^[10] who often serves as the voice of reason for the other ghosts. He 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 food, especially pizza, prepared by the living.
• Brandon Scott Jones as Captain Isaac Higgintoot, an initially closeted gay Continental Army officer^[12] who died of dysentery^[11] two weeks after the siege of Fort Ticonderoga^[13] and has been largely forgotten by history, making him immensely jealous of the more famous Alexander Hamilton.^[13] 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 the daughter of the original owner of the mansion. 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.^[10] She strangled herself to death in 1895 using a telephone cord to avoid being arrested for her husband's crimes, thus allowing Thomas to receive his inheritance. She is based on Lady Fanny Button in the original British series.
  • Alice Manning as Young Hetty, who could see and hear Thorfinn as a small child.
• Danielle Pinnock as Alberta Haynes, a flamboyant Prohibition-era lounge singer^[12] who was murdered by drinking strychnine-laced moonshine;^[14] solving her murder is a key plot arc of the second season. Her humming can be heard by the living.^[11] She can also be heard by Alexa devices.
• Sheila Carrasco as Susan "Flower" Montero, a cheerful and sweet but naive and forgetful hippie^[10] 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.^[13] She can put a living person into a hallucinogenic high if she passes through them, and likes being in polyamorous relationships. She shares a closeness and gentle flirtation with Thorfinn, and they start dating later in the second season. Due to Carrasco taking time off work to raise her newborn daughter,^[15] Flower 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^[12] of Italian descent who died in 1985 when one of his scouts accidentally shot him through the neck with an arrow.^[11] 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. He is the only ghost in the main group who can leave the Woodstone property and go anywhere he wants, but if he stays away from the property for too long, he will start to vanish piece-by-piece into oblivion.^[16] 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^[12] 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.^[11] He is loosely based on Julian Fawcett MP in the original British series, and his initial attraction to Sam is similar to the poet Thomas Thorne's infatuation with Sam's counterpart Alison.
  • 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.^[17] 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 in a pest house that used to be on the property during a 19th-century cholera outbreak and whose bodies were buried together in a pit. 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, and most share first names with their actors.
  • Betsy Sodaro as Cholera Victim Nancy, a brash, obnoxious Albany native who spends most of her time berating her fellow victims and thinking of ways to permanently move upstairs.
  • Stuart Fink as Cholera Victim Stuart

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.
• Crystle Lightning as Shiki, a Lenape woman on whom Sasappis had a crush in life. As a ghost, she is bound to the land occupied by the publishing office of the Ulster County Review magazine, so Sam and Jay help her establish a long-distance relationship with Sass.

• Christian Jadah as Bjorn, Thorfinn's son, who married a Danish woman and had three children, travelled to find his father, and now haunts the Farnsbys' property, having died at about the same age as Thor. Sam helps him reconnect with his father by having them shout to each other through the windows.
  • Louis Labonville as Young Bjorn.
• Nichole Sakura as Jessica (season 2), a permanently drunk ghost who died in a car crash while driving under the influence of alcohol and is now bound to a small perimeter around her former car, enabling her to travel more freely than other ghosts can. She has a brief relationship with Sass when Freddy, who bought Jessica's car, begins working as an assistant at the manor.
• Caroline Aaron as Carol (guest Seasons 1–2, recurring Season 3), Pete's widow, who cheated on him with his best friend Jerry when he was alive.
