Ghosts spins the funny​, heartfelt story about a ​newfound dream that reveals connection and self-discovery aren’t just for the living. This show will have its one-hour premiere of Thursday.

Nancy Drew (Season 3 Premieres on The CW October 8th): Nancy Drew (Kennedy McMann) is a brilliant teenaged detective whose sense of self had come from solving mysteries in her hometown of Horseshoe Bay, Maine – until her mother’s untimely death derails Nancy’s college plans. This show returns for its third season on Friday.
