When Ghosts returns on the 2025 TV schedule, our man Jay will in all probability be dodging near-death experiences left and proper, as a result of he unintentionally made a take care of the demon Elias. Whoops! Understandably, when that occurred, Utkarsh Ambudkar, who performs the human, grew to become a bit afraid about what lies forward for his character. Nonetheless, he additionally revealed why this storyline creates some “actually enjoyable alternatives” for the present that we ought to be enthusiastic about.
Since Jay will fairly actually be taking a look at loss of life’s door within the upcoming season (and who is aware of, perhaps he would possibly go to hell), I get why Ambudkar was a bit afraid. Going into Season 5, regardless of Ghosts’ two-season renewal, his destiny on the present was very unknown. To that time, the actor stated this when requested about Jay’s take care of Elias throughout the present’s panel at San Diego Comedian-Con that CinemaBlend attended:
At first, I used to be afraid concerning the job safety we talked about earlier.
That’s comprehensible. Characters’ fates on Ghosts are all the time up within the air, contemplating a spirit might get sucked off at any second, and it’s all the time doable {that a} human will die on the property. Nonetheless, these probably deadly conditions usually result in humorous tales too – simply look again on the time we thought Flower was sucked off, however she was actually caught in a effectively.
That was the following level Ambudkar made. He rapidly realized that Jay preventing for his life as he offers with the deal he made with Elias will unite the ghosts. And that can make for excellent TV. The actor defined:
You already know, I feel it’ll be one other thrilling journey for the ghosts and Sam and Jay to go on. I really like once we all as a household work collectively in opposition to a standard foe, once we’re not infighting or creating rigidity with one another. I really like when the entire crew has a purpose. And we at the moment are united in opposition to Elias to avoid wasting Jay’s soul, which I feel creates a whole lot of actually enjoyable alternatives for the ensemble. You see a whole lot of us in scenes collectively, and also you’ll see all people working in direction of hopefully me staying alive.
Nice factors have been made! Clearly, Jay being in bother isn’t superb, and any of the Woodstone household being doomed is dangerous information. Nonetheless, for the sake of the present, getting the Ghosts forged united and preventing for a similar trigger is incredible.
Now, they’re all going after the identical foe, which implies extra ensemble scenes, extra enjoyable pairings, and perhaps no drama between characters we love. Elias is big-time dangerous information, and I feel seeing the spirits, Sam and Jay come absolutely collectively to take him down will make for an epic season.
As Ambudkar stated, this case his character is in creates “actually enjoyable alternatives” for everybody, doubtless together with himself, so there’s no motive to be afraid. Jay is likely to be scared for his life, however we don’t have to really feel that manner, as a result of we’re in for one hell of a enjoyable trip (pun supposed).
Ghosts will return to CBS for Season 5 on Thursday, October 16, at 8:30 p.m. ET. Whereas we await that, you may return and see how Jay and co. received into this mess by streaming the collection with a Paramount+ subscription.
