Last season ended on one hell of a cliffhanger.
Following the successful launch of Isaac’s autobiography, which the puritanical Patience (“Patience!”) tried to derail by making the walls ooze blood, we discovered that Jay’s publicist was none other than the evil Elias Woodstone. In life, Hetty’s horndog husband. In death, a demon who tricked Jay into signing over his soul to Satan.
That leaves Jay peering around every corner as he tries to dodge death. But this is Woodstone Manor, not The Overlook Hotel. They’re bound to find a way to save him from eternal damnation, right?
In addition to the show's dark follies, they’ll be romantic entanglements aplenty as geeky Pete and longue singer Alberta explore their feelings post-smooch, while the “Viking Wedding” episode suggests that Thor might just be ready to settle down with ditzy hippy Flower.

Can I watch Ghosts season 5 in the UK?
While BBC iPlayer is the resting place of the UK and US versions of Ghosts, Brits face a lengthy wait for new seasons of the CBS show – typically nine months! That means we’d expect Ghosts season 5 to hit the BBC streaming service around July 2026.
NB: Whether a US, Canadian, or Kiwi citizen abroad, purchasing a VPN will let you use your streaming subscription from anywhere in the world. NordVPN is our recommended provider, and you can find out why with our in-depth NordVPN review.

Is Ghosts getting a season 6?
Yes! It was announced by Deadline in February this year that CBS had approved Ghosts – one of its highest-rated comedies – for a rare two-season renewal. That means fans are guaranteed more of this spooktacular show until at least 2027.
