Ghosts: Our S05E16 Preview: Iain Armitage Joins the "Woodstone Royale"

Along with a preview for CBS's Ghosts S05E16: "Woodstone Royale" (with Young Sheldon's Iain Armitage), we look at what's to come this season.

If you're reading this, then you probably already heard the news. CBS and Joe Port & Joe Wiseman's Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver-starring Ghosts won't be back for its sixth season until the network's 2026-2027 midseason. On the plus side, there will be two one-hour holiday specials dropping in the fall. With that in mind, we have an official overview, image gallery, trailer, and sneak peeks for S05E16: "Woodstone Royale" (guest-starring Young Sheldon star Iain Armitage). Following that, we have a look at S05E17: "The Investor" (guest-starring Justin Kirk), and then an early look at May 21st's two-part, two-episode Season 5 Finale: S05E21: "Up the Creek" and S05E22: Across the Pond."
