Ghosts Season 6 pushed to 2027 - but there's good news for fans, as well

There won't be a new season of the CBS comedy in fall 2026, but that's not actually a bad thing after all as it turns out

It’s a classic good news/bad news for fans of CBS’s Ghosts. We’ll go with the bad news first: the show will not be returning for its sixth season this fall. The good news more than makes up for it, though: there will be a full 22-episode sixth season coming in 2027… and additional special episodes even before that, as well.

CBS has announced that Season 6 of the hit comedy will be held back until midseason in the next broadcast year, meaning that an early 2027 premiere is likely; the decision has been made to allow for the pairing for Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage and new show Eternally Yours when the new season debuts in the fall. “We want to give our new shows the best launch pad possible. And we think this is going to be a really formidable pairing. And that was really where that decision came from,” CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach said during the fall schedule presentation.

That doesn’t mean that new Ghosts will be entirely absent from fall 2026. It turns out that two hour-long special episodes are planned for the holidays — one to air around Halloween, and a second around the end of the year, tentatively titled a “Ghostmas” Special.

All told, this means that fans will actually get more Ghosts in the 2026-2027 broadcast year (two hour-long specials in addition to the regular season is the equivalent of 26 episodes)… it’s just that they’re going to have to wait for them, is all. But thankfully, we’ll have a movie from the original UK series to keep us occupied.

Ghosts Seasons 1 through 5 are currently streaming on Paramount+.
