A very special guest is heading to Woodstone this spring as Young Sheldon‘s Iain Armitage guest stars in the Ghosts episode “Woodstone Royale,” which is set to air on Thursday, April 16. CBS is finally giving fans their first look at Armitage as he plays a heightened version of himself in the comedy.

In all-new images released by the network, Armitage sidles up to a poker table alongside an eclectic mix of players and B&B proprietor, Sam (Rose McIver) as the ghosts, including Trevor (Asher Grodman), Alberta (Danielle Pinnock), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Flower (Sheila Carrasco), and Pete (Richie Moriarty) look on. Meanwhile, Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) is eager to serve his celebrity guest, who is playing alongside Boris (Jonathan Kite) and Irene (Jayne Eastwood) for the game overseen by Brett (Ennis Esmer) and Michelle (Lanisa Renee Frederick).

As the episode’s logline teases, Sam and Jay agree to host a high-stakes poker game at Woodstone when they need to raise a large sum of money for the IRS. Meanwhile, in an act of generosity, Isaac gifts Jay’s recliner to the basement ghosts. Get a peek at what’s next below and stay tuned for Armitage’s guest appearance when Ghosts airs “Woodstone Royale” on CBS.
