Ghosts might be one of CBS’s most beloved sitcoms at the moment, but that doesn’t mean it is immune to being bumped off the schedule for special broadcasts and holiday events. The series, now in its fifth season, has a bit of a reputation for taking breaks to accommodate other important events. This year is no different. Fans won’t be getting a new Ghosts episode on November 27.

‘Ghosts’ fans will be left in the cold on Thanksgiving

While Ghosts is known for embracing the holiday season with special episodes, especially those around spooky season, Thanksgiving Day won’t include a new episode. The network will skip a new episode of the series on November 27 to accommodate holiday content.

The series will return on December 4 with a new episode, though. Season 5 of the series premiered on October 16. While we know that 22 episodes are expected to round out the latest season, a finale date has not yet been announced. The show will also be back next year for a sixth season. The announcement was made back in February when CBS renewed the series for two seasons. Fans who want to link up with Jay, Sam, and the spirits can stream episodes on Paramount+.

What will air instead?

Not only will Ghost fans not get a new episode come November 27, but they won’t get to check out a rerun, either. In its place, CBS will be airing a special Thanksgiving NFL game, followed by a college basketball game. In the timeslot traditionally reserved for Ghosts, the network will air the Duke vs. Arkansas NCAA game. Tipoff is expected at 8 pm.
