The popular BBC comedy series ‘Ghosts’ is making a comeback in the form of a feature film sequel titled ‘Ghosts: The Possession of Button House’. Directed by Simon Hynd and written by the original TV series creators, the movie is expected to delve into the haunted hotel era after Button House’s transformation.
Fans of the show can look forward to new adventures with their favorite ghosts, with a potential comedic mix reminiscent of iconic films like The Shining and The White Lotus. The film is written by Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard, and Ben Willbond, the creative minds behind the original Ghosts TV series. Simon Hynd, known for his work on projects like ‘Motherland’ and ‘Can You Keep a Secret?’, will be taking on the role of director for the film.
The decision to create a film spin-off of the award-winning series comes as no surprise, given the success of similar projects like the ‘Downton Abbey’ feature films and the upcoming ‘Immortal Man’ movie sequel to ‘Peaky Blinders’. Filming for the Ghosts movie is set to begin in March 2026, with a potential release date in 2027 after post-production and marketing.
As for the plot of the Ghosts film, details remain speculative. The story could explore untold adventures of Alison and Mike between seasons or focus on Button House’s transformation into a hotel, offering a unique blend of humor and supernatural elements. The creators and writers expressed their excitement for this new chapter, promising a soul-stirring tale of life and death.
While the full cast list for the film has yet to be announced, viewers can expect familiar faces like Charlotte Ritchie as Alison Cooper, Kiell Smith-Bynoe as Mike Cooper, and Lolly Adefope as Kitty Higham, the ghost of the Georgian noblewoman.
