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?

Im so sad and dissapointed that The ghost Whisperer is cancelled I have watched every episode of every season and it was my Number1 show on fridays. I dont understand why they cancel all my favorite shows anymore and come out with the same sad sitcoms that no one watches the ones that only air one season. The supernatural is really in right now and it makes no sence to end it now! I love any shows about ghost o0r vampires or supernatural stuff in general im sad another of my favs r no more : (
NO DON’T CANCEL! Ghost Whisperer has all of these things that most crappy tv shows (such as hannah montana) don’t even think to have

it doesnt matter who buys it as long as there is another season.
PLEASE!!!!!! bring it back. It is one of my favorite shows to watch along with Medium and Miami Medical on friday nights and it would suck if nothing was on b4 those two shows
im a new fan, having only watched season 1-5 in the last few weeks but i too came online to see when season 6 will be airing, will be totally gutted if it doesnt continue
Oh please, give this show a second chance. It’s one of the few I watch!
GHOST WHISPERER IS LIKE THE BEST SHOW EVER! YOU JUST CANT NOT LOVE IT, YOU HAVE TO KEEP IT GOING!!!!!!! THINK OF THE FANS!!!!
You have to keep the show. I came on line to find out when the next season was going to start again. To find out that they want to cancel. Everyone is right there is not much to watch on TV anymore
I hope you conssider the fact that there is almost nothing on TV nowadays. it’s the same competition over and over; nothing exited, nothing to kep you wondering, nothing left to the imagination. Truly, the show and characters have a way to get to people that most shows don’t. It will be back whether if it’s bought by whoever, it will be back for sure.
