‘Ghosts’ Gets One-Hour Halloween & Christmas Specials In Fall 2026

CBS will be getting into the holiday spirit with two Ghosts specials this fall.
While the comedy series is not set to return for Season 6 until 2027, the network revealed Wednesday that the spring premiere will be preceded two one-hour specials for Halloween and Christmas.
No specific dates are set just yet for those, but of course they are expected to air around their respective holidays.
The holiday episodes of Ghosts have become somewhat of a tradition for the series. In December, the two-part midseason finale featured the return of Carol (Caroline Aaron), who pays Sam a visit from the afterlife à la A Christmas Carol to show her what her life might look like if she had never fallen down the stairs and developed the ability to see the spirits that haunt the property.
Per CBS, Ghosts Season 6 will have a full 22-episode order when it premieres in the spring. The series will keep its Thursday time slot, which in the fall will be inhabited by showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman‘s new sitcom Eternally Yours.
Ghosts continues to be a success for CBS, ranking in its fifth season among the top 20 shows on broadcast. Episodes are average about 6.08M viewers per episode season-to-date, putting it just ahead of Boston Blue and Elsbeth. After 28 days, the Season 5 premiere managed 10.3M viewers across broadcast and streaming, per Nielsen Big Data + Panel.
Ghosts stars Rose McIver and Utkarsh Ambudkar as a couple that inherits a rundown mansion in upstate New York that they decide to convert into a bed & breakfast. After a near-death experience, McIver’s character is suddenly able to see the ghosts that inhabit the house. Danielle Pinnock, Rebecca Wisocky, Brandon Scott Jones, Richie Moriarty, Asher Grodman, Román Zaragoza, Sheila Carrasco and Devan Chandler Long also star.
In addition to running the show, Port and Wiseman also executive producer.
