The BBC has announced a Ghosts feature film begins filming next month
The Wait is Over… Ghosts: The Possession of Button House is coming to the big screen.

What do we know about the new Ghosts film

First context. When the 2023 Christmas Special aired, it drew a convincing line under the show. Now it seems there’s more to say as we turn to the unexpected press release. Key facts are:

BBC Film, Lionsgate and BBC Studios have given Monumental Television, part of ITV Studios, the greenlight to bring the beloved and award-winning BBC comedy Ghosts to the big screen in Ghosts: The Possession of Button House.

Ghosts stars, writers and creators Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond have written the feature length family adventure film in which Lolly Adefope, Charlotte Ritchie and Kiell Smith-Bynoe will also star. Simon Hynd (Ghosts, Motherland, Can You Keep a Secret?) directs the film. The creators/writers say:

“We thought we had said goodbye to Button House at the end of the final series. 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.”

We assume this will air on the BBC at some stage. We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for news.
