Watch Ghosts Season 5: Preview
When it was announced that the BBC’s sublime supernatural sitcom was getting an Americanized remake, eyebrows were raised, but 5 seasons in, Ghosts rivals only The Office when it comes to comedies successfully making the Atlantic crossing. And this year, there’s souls to be fought for and love in the air for the residents of Woodstone Manor, so read on as we explain below how to watch Ghosts season 5 online – and stream from anywhere with a VPN.
Last season ended on an almighty cliffhanger as Hetty’s (Rebecca Wisocky) ex-husband Elias (Matt Walsh), under the guise of publicist Brent McAfee, tricked Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) into selling him his soul in exchange for making his new restaurant a success. Season 5 kicks off with Sam (Rose McIver) and the mansion’s ghostly gang plotting to reverse the deal and save Jay from his deal with the devil.
Meanwhile, spirits Pete (Richie Moriarty) and Alberta (Danielle Pinnock) navigate the fallout of the kiss shared in the season 4 finale, although the presence of Pete’s ex wife Carol (Caroline Aaron), now herself a Woodstone ghost, threatens to derail the budding romance.
There’s also more relationship turbulence in store for Thorfin (Devan Chandler Long) and Flower (Shelia Carrasco) while Sasappis continues to navigate his long-distance romance. Trevor (Asher Grodman), continues to grapple with the new-found discovery that he’s a father, while the always excellent Halloween episode sees Issac (Brandon Scott Jones) deal with the consequences of his lie to Nigel (John Hartman).
It’s set to be another heartfelt and hilarious season for those that call Woodstone Manor home — living and dead — so read on for all you need to watch Ghosts season 5 online and stream from anywhere.
