Article Summary
\n Ghosts will return in fall 2026 with two hour-long specials for Halloween and Christmas ahead of Season 6.
\n Joe Wiseman confirms Ghosts fans won\u2019t wait until 2027 for answers about Pete\u2019s disappearance after the finale.
\n Joe Port says the Ghosts specials begin a couple of months after the Season 5 finale and continue that story.
\n Ghosts Season 6 may be delayed to midseason 2027, but the expanded specials help soften the scheduling blow. <\/p>\n

Back in April, fans of Showrunners Joe Wiseman and Joe Port’s\u00a0Rose McIver and Utkarsh Ambudkar-starring Ghosts were hit with a good news\/bad news scenario. The bad news? The long-running hit series won’t be kicking off Season 6 until midseason 2027. Now that we’ve torn off the band-aid quickly, there’s also some very good news. Unlike fans of shows like Matlock and others, Ghosts will be back in the fall for two hour-long specials set for the Halloween and Christmas seasons. And before you ask, the question marks surrounding Pete’s (Richie Moriarty) disappearance will be addressed sooner rather than later (meaning fans won’t have to wait until 2027).<\/p>\n

“[Fans] will not have to wait. We’re gonna deal with [it],” Wiseman shared with TV Insider<\/a>, regarding the upcoming specials. “I know it was couched as midseason, but with these specials that are going to be an hour long, we’re basically just premiering two weeks later than we normally would,” he added, noting how the specials soften the blow of a midseason return. “We’re gonna pick up a couple of months after the finale took place,” Port shared, adding that the specials will build on what went down during the fifth season finale. “That’s where we’ll start, and we’re gonna go from there.”<\/p>\n
