BBC reveals if ‘Ghosts’ will be back for Season 4

This one’s not really a period drama, but we love Ghosts anyway!

From the creators and stars of Horrible Histories, BBC One’s hit sitcom launched in 2019.

The family-friendly comedy series follows a cash-strapped young couple who inherit a rickety country mansion, only to find it teeming with needy ghosts from various different points in history.

Ghosts returned for a third run of episodes last summer, and it’s now been confirmed that the show has been renewed for another season!

Six brand new episodes will begin filming in England in early 2022.

The official synopsis reads: “When we return for Season 4, Button House is open for business, well, the gatehouse is. Can Alison (Charlotte Ritchie) and Mike (Kiell Smith-Bynoe) make a success of the humble B&B or will the interfering ghosts once again scupper their plans?”

The creators of Ghosts commented: “We are thrilled to be returning to Button House for a fourth series. We have an exciting batch of new stories in store and can’t wait to share the next chapter.”

 

Jon Petrie, Director of Comedy at the BBC said: “We can’t wait to return to Button House for series 4. Ghosts is a true jewel in BBC Comedy’s crown, and we’re delighted to be working again with the cast and creators, and Monumental, who never fail to deliver a faultless combination of big laughs and loads of heart.”

Jonathan Blyth, Director of Comedy at BBC Studios added: “Button House and its ghostly inhabitants have won a legion of fans across the globe from Australia and China to Europe and the US, where a local adaptation is successfully airing on CBS. I’m absolutely thrilled that the story is set to continue for a further series and can’t wait to see the mischief this troupe of spirits will cause for Alison and Mike.”

Ghosts is back this Christmas with a one-off festive special at 8.30pm on Thursday 23rd December on BBC One, guest starring Jennifer Saunders from Absolutely Fabulous!

Season 4 will premiere in late 2022.

Regular cast members Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard, Ben Willbond, Lolly Adefope, and Katy Wix are all expected to reprise their (multiple) roles.

Ghosts is available on DVD on Amazon.
