Fans of the hit CBS comedy Ghosts can mark their calendars: the network has officially set the premiere dates for Season 6's highly anticipated Halloween and Christmas specials. After a schedule shake-up that shifted the bulk of the season to midseason 2027, the show will return this fall with two holiday-themed episodes that promise to deliver spooky and festive fun.
The Halloween special, which also serves as the Season 6 premiere, will air on October 29 from 9-10 PM ET on CBS. Just over a month later, the Christmas special will follow on December 10 in the same time slot. Both episodes will be available to stream on Paramount+ the day after they air. The remaining 20 episodes of Season 6 are expected to roll out between January and March 2027.
What to Expect from the Holiday Specials
At San Diego Comic-Con, showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman revealed some tantalizing plot details. The Halloween episode will introduce Hetty's (Rebecca Wisocky) mustachioed sister Margaret, who will be a brand-new type of ghost never seen before on the series. Meanwhile, the Christmas special will riff on the classic holiday action film Die Hard and feature the show's first-ever ghost-on-ghost possession. As star Asher Grodman told Collider at SDCC, the team is aiming to make each episode feel like an event, diving deeper into the rich premise of the show.
100th Episode Milestone
The celebrations don't stop with the holidays. Ghosts will cross the 100-episode mark with the sixth episode of Season 6. To commemorate the occasion, the episode will tie into the spirits' favorite reality series, "It's Getting Hot in Here," which will be celebrating its own 100th episode while filming at the mansion. This milestone is a testament to the show's enduring popularity—according to Nielsen data, Ghosts has consistently ranked as the top comedy across broadcast and streaming, averaging over 10.2 million viewers.
