Sitcom Ghosts is being resurrected for a fourth series

The critically acclaimed and much-loved sitcom Ghosts will be back for a fourth series. From the creators and stars of Yonderland and Bill, and the original stars of Horrible Histories, the popular comedy will start filming the new series in the new year and it will once again be broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

When we return for Series 4, Button House is open for business, well, the gatehouse is.

Can Alison (Charlotte Ritchie, pictured) and Mike (Kiell Smith-Bynoe) make a success of the humble B&B or will the interfering ghosts once again scupper their plans?

The third series of the BAFTA nominated series launched in summer 2021 with 4.3million viewers watching the first episode - the biggest audience of the regular series to date - and the biggest audience for a comedy among 4 to 15-yearolds in 2021 so far, thus cementing the show as a firm family favourite. Ghosts stars writers and creators Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha HoweDouglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond. The cast also includes Lolly Adefope and Katy Wix.

The creators say: “We are thrilled to be returning to Button House for a fourth series. We are already working on new stories and can’t wait to share the next chapter.”

Jon Petrie, Director of Comedy at the BBC says: “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.”
