CBS Delays 'Ghosts' Season 6 Until Midseason, Plans Halloween and Christmas Specials
CBS will not air new episodes of 'Ghosts' this fall as planned. Instead, the comedy show's sixth season will start midseason with 22 episodes. The network will air two hour-long holiday specials on Halloween and Christmas to fill the gap.
CBS announced Wednesday that 'Ghosts' will skip its usual fall premiere and return midseason instead. The supernatural comedy was one of only two half-hour comedies guaranteed to return after the network canceled several others.
To keep fans happy during the wait, CBS is producing two special hour-long episodes. One will air during Halloween and another at Christmas. These specials are separate from the full 22-episode Season 6 that will start later.
The delay comes as CBS cut its comedy lineup in half. The network recently canceled 'DMV' and ended 'The Neighborhood,' leaving only 'Ghosts' and 'Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage' as returning comedies.
'Ghosts' follows a young couple living in a house filled with spirits from different time periods. The show has built a loyal following with its mix of historical comedy and heart.
Fans of the popular CBS comedy won't get their regular dose of ghost humor this fall. The delay shows how networks are juggling schedules after losing other comedy shows, leaving viewers with fewer options during prime time.
Watch for the Halloween special announcement and Christmas special air dates. Season 6 will premiere midseason.
