Ghosts: The Possession Of Button House is in the works from the makers of the beloved sitcom. More details on the project below.
It’s a happy day for fans of Ghosts, the hit British sitcom. Ghosts originally ran for five seasons from 2019 onwards, with a Christmas special also airing in 2023. Fans have been eagerly waiting for more ever since.
Now, the sitcom is returning in feature film format. The film, which begins shooting at West Horsley Mansion and surrounding area in Surrey next month, will be titled Ghosts: The Possession Of Button House.
Mathew Baynton took to Instagram with the news, saying the team was “so excited to be doing this and very grateful to everyone who is making it happen.”
BBC Film, BBC Studios and Lionsgate have given the green light for Monumental Television to get the film going. Simon Hynd will direct.
Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond, the creators, writers and stars of the show, have written the script and are expected to reprise their roles. Lolly Adefope, Charlotte Ritchie and Kiell Smith-Bynoe will also join them in the supernatural comedy.
The original series followed a group of ghosts haunting a country house while forced to share it with the current, living occupants. The US and Australia, along with several other countries, have also produced their own versions of the concept.
“We thought we had said goodbye to Button House at the end of the final series,” the creators wrote in a statement “We never planned to come back. But when we had the idea for this story, we all got so excited that we couldn’t resist returning to our haunted home for one more adventure. We can’t wait to be together and to welcome some brilliant new faces, to tell this soul-stirring tale of life and death.”
Eva Yates, Director of BBC Film, added, “We are overjoyed to be bringing our beloved Ghosts back once again, this time for a hilarious and cinematic adventure, for the enjoyment of audiences on big and small screen alike,”
