Could a Crossover Between Ghosts and Elsbeth Be the Best TV Surprise of 2025?

by

It turns out that both “Elsbeth” and “Ghosts” are CBS shows derived from established properties – “The Good Wife” and “Ghosts UK,” respectively. This has led me to ponder the possibility of a crossover between these two shows, which I never seriously considered before. However, Utkarsh Ambudkar expressed his enthusiasm for this concept, and I must admit, I find his perspective quite compelling.

Elsbeth and Ghosts have both been renewed and will return this fall, so the ends of their seasons were cause for celebration. It’s also a time to reflect on what exciting and unexpected episodes could come down the line. To that point, Decider told Utkarsh Ambudkar that Eslbeth’s showrunner had said a crossover with Ghosts would be fun. In response, the Jay actor said:

I had a conversation with him last night concerning this topic. Specifically, I said something like, ‘Hey buddy, the crossover event is approaching. Don’t you think they should pair us up? It’s destiny.’ He responded with, ‘I suppose you might be correct.’ And I replied, ‘It’s a perfect fit. If not us, then it will likely be NCIS. Choose your preferred combination, buddy.’

Initially, it’s thrilling for me to discover that Ambudkar and Jonathan Tolins, the mastermind behind “Elsbeth,” seem to be collaborating on something. Additionally, I find it intriguing that they have both pondered over the possibility of merging these two shows.

Initially, it might seem unusual, but there’s a strong resemblance in their themes, which is why it’s not surprising that both creators found similarities between the two. Both shows are whimsical and endearing, despite the fact that Elsbeth belongs to the procedural genre and Ghosts is a sitcom. They both aren’t shy about exploring unusual and quirky mysteries and situations.

To further clarify the overall concept, and aiming to bring this fusion to life, Ambudkar expressed:

In greater detail, and with the intention of making this blend a reality, Ambudkar spoke about:

We were just kidding around, but the idea actually seems quite plausible. Not only do they have an impressive cast, but their guest stars are fantastic as well. I think it would be amazing if it could happen. We film in various locations worldwide, so it’s a bit of a stretch, but if there’s a way to coordinate things and they can come to Montreal, that would be incredible.

Regarding guest appearances, both Elsbeth and Ghosts excel at bringing in entertaining and eccentric characters, and the Jay actor rightly points out this fact. Yet, the possibility of a crossover between them is not just about character compatibility; it runs much deeper than that.

To begin with, Elsbeth would undoubtedly enjoy spending time with Sam, Jay, and even ghostly entities. Though she may not be able to visibly perceive these spirits, much like Jay, I’m confident that she’d embrace the concept wholeheartedly and be eager to tackle a supernatural enigma. Her exploration of Woodstone could form part of the crossover storyline, which might depict her vacationing there or similar circumstances.

Later on, Elsbeth might be able to answer numerous questions and untangle mysteries related to ghosts, such as Sas’s death, in an episode of her show. Given that there was a musical dream sequence during the Season 3 finale, it seems plausible that she could also help Sam and the spirits unravel a mystery.

Moving forward, let’s make things happen! I’m thinking an exciting collaboration between “Elsbeth” and “Ghosts” would be fantastic for a thrilling television event. Although it’s currently just a wishful thought, keep those fingers crossed! In the meantime, enjoy both captivating series by subscribing to Paramount+.
