The beloved supernatural comedy GHOSTS is preparing to close out its fifth season in unforgettable fashion with the series’ first ever hour long, two-part season finale event. Raising the stakes higher than before, the final two episodes promise a life changing decision that could alter the future of Woodstone Mansion forever.

For the past five seasons, GHOSTS has expertly blended heartwarming moments, laugh out loud comedy, and supernatural chaos into one of television’s most charming ensemble series. Now, the upcoming finale appears set to deliver all of that on an even larger scale. In the highly anticipated season finale, the future of Woodstone hangs by a thread as Sam, Jay, and their spectral housemates find themselves fighting to save the mansion they all call home. But as if protecting Woodstone wasn’t enough, a major personal decision looms over the group, one that threatens to reshape everything and leave lasting consequences for both the living and the dead.

Starting at 9pm EST, the offical synopsis for “Up the Creek” reveals when Woodstone’s future is put in jeopardy, Sam and Jay join forces with the ghosts to protect the mansion by securing its place in history.

At 9:30 EST, the second part continues with “Across the Pond.” A trip abroad could determine Woodstone’s fate. Meanwhile, a major career opportunity takes Sam out of town, leaving others to step in and help with the ghosts.
