“This season, executive producers Joe Port, Joe Wiseman and the brilliant cast delivered episodes that far surpassed our expectations,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “From the opening of the Woodstone B&B to epic Halloween and Christmas episodes, we have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know our ‘Ghosts’ even better. Much like our viewers, we love them more each and every week. As the series continues to win fans on broadcast and streaming, we’re thrilled to bring back this touching and hilarious comedy for a third season.”
Ghosts is one of just four primetime comedies currently airing on CBS, along with “Young Sheldon,” “Bob Hearts Abishola,” and “The Neighborhood.”
During the 2022 pilot season, the network opted not to move forward with any of its four comedy pilots while also canceling the shows How We Roll, United States of Al, and B Positive.
