CBS is launching a new series within a series with new Ghost Whisperer: The Other Side “episodes” which are being aired exclusively at CBS.com, although one of the characters will be featured in a crossover in an actual episode - the season finale - being aired on CBS. The web episodes are seen a a companion series to Ghost Whisperer, and will feature the world through the eyes of a ghost.

The first episodes are now available online.

Every Friday, fans can watch a new episode of GHOST WHISPERER: THE OTHER SIDE, a unique web series that shows the spirit world from the perspective of an earthbound spirit, Zach, who searches for answers regarding his recent death. As Zach learns to navigate around the spirit world, he meets an array of ghosts who teach him how to intersect with the land of the living. The character of Zach will make a special appearance on the second season finale of GHOST WHISPERER.

GHOST WHISPERER: THE OTHER SIDE features Zach (Mark Hapka), the young earthbound spirit seeking answers regarding his death; Danny (Matthew Alan), a friend of Zach’s who Zach holds responsible for his death; Sarah (Robin Hines), Zach’s temptress and teacher in the spirit world; Sam (rapper DNA), a spirit who entertains and enlightens Zach; The Shadow Spirit (Graham McTavish, “Rome” and the upcoming “Rambo IV”), a ghost from the Dark side; and fashion model Taylor as Katie, Zach’s girlfriend. The web series is directed by Claudio Faeh (”Coronado,” “Hollow Man 2″).

It is an interesting way to market to online users (although the official sponsor is Saturn) and could also prompt new users to try out their television on demand on CBS. However, it remains to be seen if it catches on!
