‘Ghosts’ Season 2 Episode 8 Preview: Photos, Plot, Cast and Release Date

CBS’s Ghosts will return from a month-long break with season two episode eight, an episode that finds Sam and Jay turning to Alberta for help. Directed by Nick Wong from a script by Zora Bikangaga, episode eight – “The Liquor License” – will air on Thursday, December 8, 2022 at 8:30pm ET/PT.

Rose McIver and Utkarsh Ambudkar return as Samantha and Jay, the living residents of the mansion. Reprising their roles as the resident ghosts are Brandon Scott Jones as Isaac, Richie Moriarty as Pete, Danielle Pinnock as Alberta, and Asher Grodman as Trevor. Román Zaragoza stars as Sasappis, Sheila Carrasco plays Flower, Rebecca Wisocky is Hetty, and Devan Chandler Long plays Thorfinn.

Episode eight guest stars include Mark Andrada as Cyrus, Neil Crone as Ben Franklin, Kaliko Kauahi as Inspector Sherry, Jonathan Valvano as Blane, and Reanne Spitzer as Amanda.

“The Liquor License” Plot: Alberta’s expertise from her past comes in handy when Sam and Jay run into some complications during their Woodstone whiskey-tasting soiree. Also, Trevor devises a ghost fraternity, which inspires a revelation from Isaac’s past.

The Plot:

Ghosts is a single-camera comedy about Samantha and Jay, a cheerful freelance journalist and up-and-coming chef from the city, respectively, who threw both caution and money to the wind when they decide to convert a huge rundown country estate they inherited into a bed & breakfast – only to find it was inhabited by the many spirits of deceased residents who now call it home.

The departed souls are a close-knit, eclectic group that includes a saucy Prohibition-era lounge singer (Pinnock); a pompous 18th-century militiaman (Jones); a ‘60s hippie fond of hallucinogens (Carrasco); an overly upbeat ‘80s scout troop leader (Moriarty); a cod-obsessed Viking explorer from 1009 (Devon Chandler Long); a slick ‘90s finance bro (Grodman); a sarcastic and witty native from the 16th-century (Zaragoza); and a society woman and wife of a 19th-century robber baron who is Samantha’s ancestor (isocky), to name a few.

The opening of the B&B is a source of intrigue, anxiety, and curiosity among the spirits, but they’ll gladly put up with the commotion as long as they can continue to interact with a living inhabitant – Samantha.
