Ghosts Season 5 Episode 11 will air on CBS on February 26. It's the season when the network's shows go on their annual winter hiatus. Devoted fans of the spooky sitcom will have to sit tight, as Ghosts isn’t haunting screens again until 2026.

The sitcom recently released an hour-long Christmas Special episode titled “It’s a Wonderful Christmas Carol,” which saw another good ol' fashioned possession and an alternate reality for Sam, which makes her realize the importance of the Woodstone spirits in her life.

Ghosts Season 5 marks the return of Utkarsh Ambudkar as Jay and Rose McIver as Sam, along with the ghostly ensemble of Devan Chandler Long, Asher Grodman, Richie Moriarty, Román Zaragoza, Sheila Carrasco, Danielle Pinnock, Brandon Scott Jones and Rebecca Wisocky.

Ghosts Season 5 Episode 11 release date and streaming details

The eleventh episode in Ghosts Season 5 will air on CBS on February 26 at 8:30 p.m. As mentioned above, the network's spooky sitcom is going on its annual winter hiatus and will return with new episodes in the new year. Like previous seasons, the fifth season of Ghosts will take a short break after its Christmas Special and will return in February 2026.

Till then, fans can catch the previous episodes and all the chaos of the Woodstone spirits on Paramount+, the official destination for all seasons of Ghosts. Additionally, Episode 11 will be available to live stream on Paramount+ Showtime and on-demand (one day later) on Paramount+ Essential.


A quick recap of Ghosts Season 5 Christmas Special

Ghosts Season 5 Christmas Special saw yet another possession, after Thor used his ghost power to send Flower inside Sam's body, moments before she had a live interview about her vampire book on Issac. As the interview crew arrives at the Mansion, Sam (possessed by Flower) takes a Special Christmas candy dr*g from Gabe, which sends her on a weird dream about an alternate reality where she is unable to see ghosts.

Pete's widow, Carol, who got sucked off earlier, takes Sam on this exciting tour, where she never had the accident and did not develop the ability to see spirits. While Sam initially realizes the perks of a life free of ghost-babysitting, she eventually discovers the horrors of it. While Pete and Thor are unaware of their respective families, Issac is still living in the closet and is about to marry Hetty. On the other hand, Sam's marriage is falling apart as Jay took a job in the city and she began texting with a guy on a dating app, who is none other than Trevor.

After realizing her life is much better with the special power, Sam returns from her fever dream, still in Flower's possession. The Woodstone spirits and Jay combine forces to drive Flower out of Sam's body and she gives a spectacular interview. Ghosts Season 5 Christmas Special concludes with Sam celebrating the Holiday with Jay and her ghostly roommates, finally aware of the importance of her ability.


What can you expect from Ghosts Season 5 Episode 11?

Since Ghosts Season 5 returns with new episodes in February 2026, CBS has yet to reveal exclusive plot details about Episode 11. However, the sitcom will continue to deliver hearty laughs while expanding the Woodstone Spirits' lore and evolving Sam's relationship with her ghostly roommates.

Additionally, the Christmas Special featured an exciting sequence where Trevor and Patience bonded over their mutual hatred for the Holiday and ended up sharing a passionate kiss. While it was a heat-of-the-moment thing for our Finance bro, the chaste Puritan is ready to move on to the next step in their relationship.

The final moments of Ghosts Season 5 Episode 10 saw Patience introducing Sass and Trevor to her people, 'The Others.' Before we could learn the identity of these 'Others,' the episode concluded, leaving us with this exciting cliffhanger. The Puritan is one of the most interesting recurring ghostly characters in the sitcom. This exciting tease suggests Episode 11 will expand on Patience's backstory, which will bring chaos to the Woodstone Mansion.

Ghosts Season 5 will return with new episodes on CBS on February 26.
