Season 6 Announcement and Core Development

CBS confirmed that Ben Feldman, who has played Kyle Rosenblat since season 4, will become a series regular for *Ghosts*’ sixth season. The promotion was announced in June 2026 by showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman. Season 6 will debut as a mid-season run in 2027, preceded by two hour-long holiday specials—Halloween and Christmas—scheduled for late 2026. The specials will resolve the season 5 cliffhanger in which ghost Pete vanished after a London trip.

Kyle Rosenblat’s Role and Season 5 Cliffhanger

Kyle Rosenblat debuted in season 4 after a near-death roller-coaster incident gave him the ability to see the spirits haunting Woodstone Mansion. He quickly became the “ghost babysitter,” covering for Sam Arondekar (Rose McIver) when she was away. In the season 5 finale, Kyle joined Sam’s husband Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) and Pete on a London mission to secure Woodstone’s historic-landmark status; Pete disappeared during the trip, setting up the unresolved mystery the upcoming specials will address.

Key Figures and Production

The main cast includes Rose McIver (Sam Arondekar), Utkarsh Ambudkar (Jay), Richie Moriarty (Pete), and newcomer Ben Feldman (Kyle). Showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman also serve as executive producers alongside Matthew Baynton, Jim Howick, Simon Farnaby, and others. The series is produced by CBS Studios in partnership with Lionsgate Television and BBC Studios.

Timeline of Recent Developments

Season 4 introduced Kyle as a guest. The season 5 finale saw Pete’s disappearance. In June 2026 Feldman’s promotion was announced. Late 2026 will bring two holiday specials that open Season 6. The remaining episodes are slated for a 2027 mid-season premiere.

Data & Statistics

*Ghosts* is the most-watched comedy across broadcast and streaming original series. Season 6 will total 22 episodes; the two holiday specials count as four hour-long installments. Feldman has appeared in four episodes before his promotion.

Official Statements & Responses

Port and Wiseman said they were excited about Feldman’s addition, praising his comedic timing and emotional range. The show’s Instagram account announced Kyle’s “extended stay at Woodstone” and confirmed Feldman as a regular. No other networks have commented.

Conflicting Reports & Gaps

CBS has indicated a mid-season launch in 2027, but no exact premiere date is set. Sources differ on whether the holiday specials are part of Season 6 or separate stand-alone events, though producers describe them as the season’s opening.
