Ghosts Season 3: What to expect?
We would like to bring attention to the fact that the exact launch date has yet to be determined, as the series was recently renewed by the network. However, it has been speculated that the forthcoming season would most likely have a release window suggested to be around the fall of 2023-2024 season.
As, the second season premiered its pilot episode on September 29, 2022, it is expected to follow a similar time slot, with new episodes dropping on a weekly basis on Thursdays at 8:30/7:30c on CBS and later available to stream on Paramount Plus. Of course, this is just speculation! Hence, we suggest that the viewers be patient and follow all the social media platforms for the series to be updated with the latest information for the third season.
The series follows a struggling young couple, Samantha, played by McIver, and Jay, played by Ambudkar, whose dreams come true when they inherit a beautiful country house, only to find it’s both falling apart and inhabited by many of the deceased previous residents.

Ghosts Season 3: Is there any new teaser or trailer?
The third season of Ghosts has not yet received a trailer from the network, and we don’t expect to see one anytime soon. We think that the trailer won’t be released until all the episodes of the second season air on the channel. In the meantime, we suggest that the fans check out the official trailer of Ghosts Season 2, which gives a brief insight into the new episodes, as Season 2 will explore “a surprising connection” between established characters and “a ghost that lives at the Farnsbys’ house.” On Rotten Tomatoes, the second season has received an approval rating of 100% with an average rating of 7/10, based on seven critic reviews. Take a look at the trailer below:
