Selome Hailu The Season 2 premiere of “Ghosts” saw a 50% increase in viewership after seven days of multiplatform viewing, Variety has learned exclusively. The episode brought in an impressive 6.15 million viewers when it first aired, according to Live + Same Day data, and CBS confirmed that delayed viewing via DVR and other platforms brought that number to 9.23 million.

The fact that “Ghosts” slightly outranked “Young Sheldon” after delayed viewing despite initially coming in second place suggests that the former’s audience is overall less inclined towards appointment viewing than the latter’s. Streaming data supports this idea. It’s important to note that the numbers above don’t include views on Paramount+, where CBS streams its shows, because Nielsen doesn’t measure that platform, but CBS confirmed to Variety that the “Ghosts” Season 2 premiere is top episode of comedy on Paramount+ in terms of active subscriber reach and total minutes viewed. Like in previous years, CBS comedies are bringing in more viewers than any other network. The next most-viewed comedies after “Ghosts” and “Young Sheldon” are
