- Ghosts showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman appeared at Comic-Con's Ballroom 20 to tease Season 6 details for the CBS comedy, with the network bridging the gap using hourlong Halloween and Christmas specials this fall before Season 6 premieres in spring 2027.
- The show's first hourlong Halloween special will introduce Hetty's mustachioed sister Margaret in what Wiseman called 'an unusual way' — 'a type of ghost that we have never seen.'
- The Christmas special is inspired by Die Hard, which Port described as what Jay and Trevor would consider one of their favorite movies.
- One of the holiday specials will feature Ghosts' 'first ever ghost-on-ghost possession,' Port revealed, though he didn't specify which one.
- Season 6's 100th episode will go meta — the in-universe reality show 'It's Getting Hot in Here' will also celebrate its 100th episode — a milestone Port and Wiseman are treating as a major television event.
- Pete's Season 5 cliffhanger will be addressed early in Season 6 but won't necessarily be resolved right away, the showrunners warned.
- The Woodstone ghost boundary that keeps the spirits on the property will face a temporary disruption later in Season 6, Wiseman teased.
Why it matters: CBS is stretching a single comedy franchise across the calendar with two hourlong holiday specials to fill a year-long gap before Season 6 premieres in spring 2027, while the showrunners build toward a 100th-episode milestone — a rarity in the streaming era when episode orders have shrunk.
