So, each Elsbeth and Ghosts are CBS reveals primarily based on present properties – The Good Spouse and Ghosts UK, respectively – so crossovers have at all times been on my thoughts. Nonetheless, the thought of those two hits from the 2025 TV schedule crossing over collectively was by no means one thing I thought of. Utkarsh Ambudkar defined why he loves the thought, although, and I’ve to say, I believe he’s onto one thing.
Elsbeth and Ghosts have each been renewed and can return this fall, so the ends of their seasons have been trigger for celebration. It’s additionally a time to mirror on what thrilling and surprising episodes may come down the road. To that time, Decider informed Utkarsh Ambudkar that Eslbeth’s showrunner had mentioned a crossover with Ghosts can be enjoyable. In response, the Jay actor mentioned:
I actually was speaking to him final evening about this. Final evening, I used to be like, ‘Hey man, the crossover’s coming. You recognize what I imply? They gotta put us collectively, child.’ And he was like ‘I assume you’re proper.’ And I used to be like, ‘It’s a match made in heaven. If it’s not us, it’s gonna be NCIS. Decide your poison, child.’
To start with, I really like that Ambudkar and Jonathan Tolins, the showrunner of Elsbeth, are apparently in cahoots. Secondly, I really like that they’ve each thought of how these two reveals may go collectively.
Whereas unconventional on first thought, these applications do have comparable tones, so I can completely see why each males have thought of it. They’re each foolish and heartwarming collection, regardless that Elsbeth is a procedural and Ghosts is a sitcom, and so they’re each prepared to lean into very enjoyable and funky mysteries and circumstances.
So, elaborating extra on the thought as an entire, and in an try and seemingly manifest this crossover into existence, Ambudkar mentioned:
So we have been joking, however I believe the worlds may actually match. And so they do such a fantastic job of casting, as effectively, their visitor stars. And I believe it’d be superior. We shoot in several nations, but when there’s a option to make it work, in the event that they’ll come as much as Montreal.
When it comes to visitor stars, each Elsbeth and Ghosts know methods to forged and provides them some enjoyable and kooky characters, so the Jay actor makes a fantastic level there. Nonetheless, the reasoning behind why this crossover may work goes deeper than that.
Let’s begin with the truth that Elsbeth would have a ball with Sam, Jay and ghosts. Whereas she in all probability wouldn’t be capable to see the spirits, similar to Jay, I’m fairly certain she’d purchase into the thought and be very down to unravel a supernatural thriller. Her studying the methods of Woodstone might be the Ghosts’ half of the crossover, and it may present her happening trip there or one thing.
Then, there are many Ghosts questions and mysteries that Elsbeth may assist clear up (like Sas’s loss of life) in an episode of her present. There was a musical dream sequence within the Season 3 finale, subsequently, I don’t suppose it’s unreasonable to suppose she may clear up a thriller for Sam and the ghosts.
With all that mentioned, let’s get this present on the street. I need an Elsbeth and Ghosts crossover within the works, as a result of this seems like a grand and deeply enjoyable thought for a tv occasion! Nonetheless, for now, it’s only a dream, and as we cross our fingers and hope it occurs, you’ll be able to stream each pretty collection with a Paramount+ subscription.
