👻 The Spirits Have Spoken: Ghosts is Officially Back for Season 6!
If you’ve been hanging out in the hallways of Woodstone Mansion lately, you might have heard a bit of extra cheering (and maybe a few of Isaac’s high-pitched gasps). I have some incredible news that’s going to make your week: CBS has officially confirmed that Ghosts will return for Season 6! Now, if you’re keeping track, Season 5 is already in full swing for the 2025–2026 television season. But CBS, in a move that shows just how much they love our favorite post-life roommates, decided to double down. They didn’t just give us one more year; they handed out a “supersized” renewal that secures the show through the 2026–2027 season.
Insiders are already whispering that Season 6 isn’t just a victory lap. It’s being described as the “most ambitious season yet.” But what does that actually mean? Are we talking more ghosts? New powers? Or is the “Living” side of the house finally going to get a supernatural upgrade? Let’s dive into the ectoplasm and find out.
📈 Why CBS Handed Out a Two-Season Golden Ticket
It’s rare for a network sitcom to get a multi-year renewal these days. Usually, shows are fighting tooth and nail just to see another autumn. So, why did Ghosts get the “teacher’s pet” treatment?
The Unstoppable Ratings Juggernaut
The numbers don’t lie. Ghosts has consistently delivered nearly 11 million multiplatform viewers. While other shows are seeing their audiences shrink, the Woodstone crew is actually growing. In 2025, streaming numbers on Paramount+ jumped by nearly 10%. People aren’t just watching this show; they are obsessing over it.
Surpassing the British Original
With this Season 6 renewal, the American version of Ghosts is officially set to outlive its UK predecessor. The original British series (which is brilliant in its own right) ran for five seasons and a few specials. By securing a sixth season, the US showrunners, Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, have the green light to take these characters into entirely uncharted territory.
🔮 What Makes Season 6 the “Most Ambitious” Yet?
When showrunners start using words like “ambitious,” my ears perk up. It usually means they’re breaking the formula. Here is what the buzz from the writers’ room is suggesting for the 2026-2027 arc.
H3: The Jay Factor: Will He Finally See Them?
This has been the “Ross and Rachel” of the supernatural world. We’ve been waiting years for Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) to finally be able to see the spirits he lives with. In Season 4 and 5, we saw hints of him getting closer to the “other side.” Insiders suggest Season 6 might finally pull back the veil. Imagine the comedic gold of Jay finally reacting to Trevor’s lack of pants in real-time!
H3: Expanding the Woodstone Universe
We know there are ghosts in the basement, ghosts in the attic, and even ghosts in the shed. But “ambitious” suggests we’re going beyond the property lines. Rumors are swirling about:
-
Historical Flashbacks on a Grand Scale: More than just one-room vignettes, but full-scale period episodes.
-
New Permanent Resident Spirits: Is there a ghost from a 1990s boy band waiting to be discovered? Or maybe a Victorian gardener?
🎬 The Returning Cast: Who’s Staying at Woodstone?
You can’t have Ghosts without the ensemble. The chemistry is the “secret sauce” that makes the show work. For Season 6, we expect the full heavy-hitting lineup to return:
-
Rose McIver as Sam (The heart and the “eye” of the operation)
-
Utkarsh Ambudkar as Jay (The world’s most patient husband)
-
Brandon Scott Jones as Isaac (Still jealous of Hamilton, surely)
-
Danielle Pinnock as Alberta (Bringing the soul and the sass)
-
Richie Moriarty as Pete (The eternal Pinecone Trooper)
-
Asher Grodman as Trevor (Still pantless, still proud)
-
Rebecca Wisocky as Hetty (The lady of the manor)
-
Román Zaragoza as Sass (The ultimate storyteller)
-
Devan Chandler Long as Thorfinn (The lovable Viking)
-
Sheila Carrasco as Flower (The delightfully distracted hippie)
📅 When is the Season 6 Release Date?
While we are currently enjoying the 2025–2026 season (Season 5), the calendar for Season 6 is already being mapped out. Based on the show’s historical “spooky season” launch pattern, here is the projected timeline:
| Season | Production Status | Expected Premiere Date |
| Season 5 | Currently Airing | October 16, 2025 |
| Season 6 | Pre-Production | October 2026 |
The show has become a staple of the CBS Thursday night “Comedy Block,” usually paired with hits like Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage. We don’t expect that prime real estate to change anytime soon.
🎭 The Plot Thickens: Rumors, Leaks, and Theories
Fans on Reddit and Twitter are already losing their minds over the “ambitious” label. Let’s look at some of the most popular theories for the Season 6 storyline.
H3: The “Sucked Off” Stakes
Every season, we live in fear that one of our favorites will finally “move on.” With Season 6 being a potential climax for several character arcs, the stakes for someone getting “sucked off” are higher than ever. Will it be Isaac finally finding total peace? Or Hetty finally forgiving herself?
H3: A Woodstone Wedding?
Sam and Jay have their hands full running the B&B, but could Season 6 see a wedding for one of the ghosts? We’ve seen ghost-on-ghost relationships before (Thor and Flower, Isaac and Nigel), but a formal “spirit ceremony” would be a first for the series.
💡 Why ‘Ghosts’ Matters in the 2026 TV Landscape
In a world where TV is getting darker and more cynical, Ghosts is a breath of fresh air. It’s a show about people (and spirits) from completely different backgrounds—centuries apart—learning to live together. It’s an analogy for our own world, isn’t it? If a Viking and a 1990s Wall Street bro can find common ground, maybe there’s hope for the rest of us.
The “ambition” for Season 6 isn’t just about bigger sets or more CGI; it’s about deeper heart. The writers have proven they can make us cry as easily as they make us laugh, and that is why this renewal is so special.
Conclusion
The quiet renewal of Ghosts for Season 6 by CBS is the ultimate “thank you” to a fanbase that has stayed loyal since 2021. By securing the show through 2027, the network has given the creators the freedom to take massive creative risks. Whether that means Jay finally getting his “ghost eyes,” a major character moving on to the afterlife, or a deeper exploration of the Woodstone history, Season 6 is shaping up to be a landmark moment in television history. So, keep your flashlights ready and your smell-sense tuned for Isaac’s “foul odor”—Woodstone Mansion isn’t closing its doors anytime soon!
