Ghosts Season 5 Is Coming — Here’s What to Remember Before It Haunts Your Screen Again
Parijat Ghosh 
Grab your sage and emotional support snacks, because Ghosts Season 5 is almost here — and it’s bringing more chaos, charm, and deadpan dead people than ever. Before the new season lands, here’s a quick (and slightly unhinged) refresher so you’re not that one friend asking, “Wait, why is Jay’s soul missing again?”
The Soul Contract (aka The Big Cliffhanger)
Season 4 wrapped up on an absolutely bonkers note — Jay accidentally sold his soul to Elias Woodstone. Yup, classic Jay move. This leaves Sam and the ghost gang scrambling to save him before he’s, you know, eternally doomed. Expect plenty of ghostly teamwork, accidental possessions, and maybe one too many bad puns about “soul mates.”
Ghost Love Is in the (After) Air
The show finally gave us what we didn’t know we needed — Pete and Alberta’s budding romance. From awkward flirting to that kiss (you know the one), things got spicy in the spectral world. Season 5 will explore what it’s like to date when you’re dead and stuck in the same mansion for eternity. Spoiler: boundaries will be tested, and Hetty will definitely have opinions.
The Ghosts Get Real (Well, As Real As Ghosts Can Be)
Our favorite flower child, Flower, is reportedly getting more depth this season — a smarter, more grounded side of her will shine through. Translation: fewer “Wait, what century is it?” moments and more actual plot involvement. Meanwhile, Isaac, Thorfinn, Trevor, Hetty, and the rest are all due for new character arcs that mix emotional moments with laugh-till-you-snort humor.
Elias Returns and Things Get… Hellish
Elias Woodstone — the suave, slightly demonic troublemaker — is back. He’s not just here to twirl his ghostly mustache; he’s got plans, contracts, and maybe a few souls to collect. The upcoming season will see Jay and the crew go toe-to-toe (or soul-to-soul?) with Elias in what’s being teased as the funniest supernatural showdown yet. Expect hellfire, sarcasm, and probably a dance number.
When, Where, and How to Watch
Mark your calendars — Ghosts Season 5 premieres October 16, 2025, on CBS, with next-day streaming on Paramount+. Thursday nights are officially reserved for laughs, hauntings, and emotional chaos.
Pro tip: rewatch the last couple of episodes from Season 4 before diving in. You’ll thank yourself when the first episode immediately drops you into Jay’s “oops I sold my soul” drama. But before You Binge…
- Revisit who’s who in the mansion — you’ll forget at least one name, guaranteed.
- Prepare for chaos, romance, and emotional gut-punches between the jokes.
- Expect new ghost rules to appear out of nowhere (because why not?).
If Ghosts has taught us anything, it’s that being dead doesn’t mean you can’t live your best afterlife. Season 5 looks like the perfect mix of comedy, chaos, and surprisingly heartfelt moments. So get ready — the Woodstone mansion is reopening its haunted doors, and it’s about to get boo-tifully messy again.
