Ghosts Season 3 is not coming in 2023
When CBS announced its updated fall 2023 schedule, it came with one confirmation. Ghosts Season 3 will not premiere in 2023.
The broadcast networks need to pivot in their plans. While ABC set up a strike-proof fall, CBS was one of the networks that planned for things to remain the same. However, this wasn’t your usual summer.
The writers went on strike in May 2023. As that strike continued, the actors joined them in July. With both writers and actors on strike, there is more solidarity. Production is completely halted, meaning the studios will soon need to really start negotiating. It also means that fall TV cannot happen the way it usually would.
CBS pivoted its plans, releasing a fall schedule that is made up of reruns, unscripted shows, and acquisitions. The schedule confirmed one thing for Ghosts fans: we won’t see Season 3 this year.
When will Ghosts Season 3 premiere on CBS?
The earliest we’re expecting to see the third season at this point is in January 2024. That doesn’t guarantee anything, though. It’s all going to depend on when the actors can get back to work.
One of the benefits of Ghosts‘s early renewal is that the writing work would have started early. Filming for this series needs to happen in the spring and summer due to the costumes of the characters. Some episodes will be ready, but CBS won’t want to premiere this series when no other scripted show can premiere. It will want to pair the series with Young Sheldon again.
So, we probably won’t see episodes until Young Sheldon is able to premiere.
The good news is we will have a similar show to keep us entertained. The UK version of the comedy will air on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT in the fall. There will be two episodes back to back, running us through as many seasons as necessary. There are four seasons with a fifth and final season in development—the UK series isn’t affected by the WGA or SAG-AFTRA strikes.
Ghosts is available to stream on Paramount+.
