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?

Omgsh! Noo way. Ghost whisperers is my favourite show… My whole family wAtches it every fridAy night! It cannnot be cancelled!
Friday night after a long week, I look forward to my favorite junk food and Ghost Whisperer followed by Medium. I hate the summer replacement shows. Ghost Whisperer’s writer are the “bomb.” Why on earth would you cancel Ghost Whisperer? Sometimes I think you guys wouldn’t know a good show if it bit you in the but!!!!
Of course,i agree what everyone here says,it is true that Ghost Whisperer is high on viewers and continues episodes are worth it.I support Ghost Whisperer to continue on Season 6!
I don’t understand why Ghost Whispher is being canceled. The show has a lot of viewers. So therefore I don’t understand what the problem is. I don’t understand why the movies everyone likes always get canceled. Please don’t cancel Ghost Whisperer.
PLEASE CONTINUE GHOST WHISPERER I THINK IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT THE SHOW HAS QUITE A LARGE FAN BASE, SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? MANY PEOPLE INCLUDING MYSELF SEEM TO REALLY LIKE THIS SHOW, PLEASE RECONSIDER AND EXTEND THE GHOST WHISPERER SHOW FOR ANOTHER SEASON AND LET THE FANS AND RATINGS SHOW HOW MANY LOYAL VIEWERS GHOST WHISPERER HAS. PLEASE?
Oh no, now ABC isn’t picking up GW? How about USA, their motto is: Characters Welcome. We would certainly welcome the Characters on GW
What do you say USA? Especially since Psych and In Plain Sight are also on our favorite list!
