A staple of CBS’ Friday night schedule, ratings for Ghost Whisperer have dropped quite a bit over the season. Last week, the network surprised many viewers by cancelling the TV show after five seasons. The blow was softened when it was learned that the series might get a second chance on ABC. The alphabet network has now apparently passed.
Starring Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ghost Whisperer began in September 2005 and ran for 107 episodes. The series’ regular cast has also included David Conrad, Christoph Sanders, Jamie Kennedy, Camryn Manheim, Aisha Tyler, and Jay Mohr.
Things had been looking positive for the series to continue and some outlets actually had even reported that the show had been picked up. Unfortunately, the deal didn’t work out.
We may never know the details but Ghost Whisperer executive producers Kim Moses and Ian Sander issued a statement that said, “After five wonderful seasons and over 100 episodes, we are disappointed to announce Ghost Whisperer will not be returning for a sixth season. We’ve had an incredible experience and owe a debt of gratitude to everyone involved. We continue our relationship with ABC Studios and look forward to developing many more successful projects together in the future.”
While it looks like Heroes and Law & Order will get some closure, there’s been no word on any plans to go back into production and wrap up Ghost Whisperer.
What do you think? Sad to see it go? How would you have ended Melinda’s story?

I wanted to see Aiden grow up-along with his powers!
I am highly upset that Ghost Whisperer was cancelled. When i got home from school on Wednesday i was happy to watch Ghost Whisperer. And during days off from school thats all i would watch all day. Please bring Ghost Whisperer back to ion television.
Hope it will be back soon… theres a lot of considerations. Just like what happened to all the underground spirits. What will happen to carl? Professor payne said he will return. How can aiden explore his gift. I love this show… ghost whisperer fanatic here.
Put it on Netflix if you don’t want to put it on ABC or CBS for us people that do love to watch the ghost whisperer. We would love to see how Melindas son keeps doing the things his mom did & carry on their gift.
