It was a little bit of a surprise that Ghost Whisperer was cancelled by CBS earlier this week. While the show’s ratings have dropped significantly this season, many reported that the TV show was on track for season six. Well, CBS may have cancelled it but the TV show could still continue on ABC.
Ghost Whisperer follows Melinda Gordon (Jennifer Love Hewitt), a young woman who has the ability to see, talk to, and help the dead. Series regulars have included David Conrad, Camryn Manheim, Jay Mohr, Aisha Tyler, Christoph Sanders, Jamie Kennedy, and Kenneth Mitchell.
With the current ratings, Ghost Whisperer wouldn’t ordinarily be of interest to ABC. However, the network co-owns the show with CBS and actually handles the production in-house. They actually developed the series before CBS picked it up back in 2005. If the price is right, ABC would stand to make more money from season six episodes once they hit syndication.

According to Deadline, negotiations for Ghost Whisperer possibly moving to ABC started on Tuesday afternoon and are still in motion. Word is that they are going well though there are a number of points to work out.
It’s positive that the showrunner for next season is already in place and producers have signed on. That means that the show is ready to go back into production. The Ghost Whisperer writing staff have all been asked not to take other jobs until a final decision is made.
For now, people are being cautiously optimistic. Deals like this have fallen apart at the last minute before but things are reportedly looking good. We’ll obviously keep you posted.
What do you think? Will a deal be made so that Ghost Whisperer can continue for year six on ABC? If that were to happen, when would you like to see it air — on Friday nights or in another spot?

Hi from Turkey,
It’s my best show and i’m waiting for it. Please do not cancel Ghost Whisperer.
umm Tia, no. I loved Aiden and I liked that they jumped him to five to better understand & articulate what’s going on around him. I don’t like that they killed Jim off and bought him back again as someone else but I guess this story line is more helpful to Melinda which makes Jim more invoved. I agree Melinda should have another baby but she would be like Jim, no powers or visions at all – maybe just a good strong hunch (somewhat of a sixth sense) when something is about to happen. As for the show, I sooooooo… Read more »
Please do not cancel this show, this is an awesome show. However i would like to say this… that little boy that plays Melinda son isn’t jiving well with the show i dont know exactly what it is… maybe its how they jumped from him being born to him being 5 I dont think people got to feel a connection or bond with him because we didn’t get to experience him through the baby years, toddler years and so on. Its like they added a stranger to the show that were now all suppose to feel is Melinda son. I… Read more »
My husband, myself and many friends and family members looked forward to Friday night when we could view the next, much anticipated episode of “Ghost Whisperer” .
It was fun to know we were all tuning in to the same show at the same time.
Please bring it back!
Can’t believe you take these good shows off the air and replace them with mediocrity or downright garbage!
We are still very upset about the vampire show “Moonlight” being cancelled.
Please continue with season 6. My daughter and I love the show.
I do not understand why this amazing show is off the air. I love watching Ghost Whisper it is a great story and I would always be on the edge of my seat watching it and could not wait until the following Friday to watch it again. Now if it is gone I will have nothing to look forward to on a Friday night. If I had something going on I would always record it and then watch it because I could watch it later with my daughter because she loves watching it with me too. Please bring Ghost Whisper… Read more »
This is one of the best shows on TV. Why would they cancel it? With all of the crap on tv, this is the one show my husband and I both enjoy!!!!!
The Ghost Whisperer is an amazing show. I think that if ABC took on the show it shouldn’t have the same mapped out ritual: Melinda finds a ghost, she researches it, she finds people who knew the ghost, then she helps the ghost. I think thats why the shows ratings went down, because the same thing happened each time. But maybe if the network tries something new people will think about the show and its meaning more. Hope this helps. Also Hope that the show goes back on the air. 🙂 My all time favorite show 🙂
Please don’t cancel this show, I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t care when it comes on, as long as it comes on. I love this show. Some of the new shows are horrible and they take off Ghost Whisperer? What is wrong with you people?
I have been a fan for a very long time, I am disappointed that the show was cancelled. I looked forward in watching this show. I record it if I don’t catch the show, because this is one of the shows that made my night before I went to bed. I would be so happy and excided for the show to come back on and it doesn’t matter if it came on CBS, ABC just as long as it comes back on. Ghost Whisperer is one of the best shows I have ever seen and all you TV people (sorry… Read more »
I agree with you so much! I wish that the people would put back up the show, it was something for me to look foward to, when I had a bad day, or want to make my day better I could always enter into the exciting world of The Ghost Whisperer.
I would be devastated if you canceled it please don’t. I am a huge fan of it and Medium as well. I watch both actually and if I am not home I tape it. When I want me time when the kids go to bed that is what I look forward to watching faithfully every Friday night. Please bring it back. When all other shows started I looked for Ghost Whisperer and was so disappointed it was canceled so please bring this amazing show that captures great emotion as well as something we can continue to be captured into another… Read more »
I don’t care what night it comes on either, please bring back the show. The whole last season was just really cool. The last one we saw was where the ghost kids all saved malinda, how cool is that? Not to mention she doesn’t know where her father is and what is involved. Also, the Book of Secrets. There has to be more. It’s a really cool show.
i would like to see it back on friday nights but as long as it comes back i really don’t care,i just would like to know (Ghost Whisperers) will be back on air ready for season six,there is so much that has’nt been resolved about her (dad) the book ,all i can say is you need to bring back( Ghost Whisperers) !!!t most amazing tv series i’v ever watched and i really would love to see it back on air^^
