The manic mayhem of Ghosts is back next month as Series 5 lands. 

We’ve known for a while that the upcoming run of Ghosts will be its last. The hit comedy, which was BAFTA nominated for Series 4, aims to go out on a high.

Here’s the premise for Ghosts Series 5:

As we begin the series, while Alison and Mike search for new ways to keep Button House going after the gatehouse fire, they receive some unexpected news that will bring about major changes for them and the Ghosts.

Elsewhere, the Ghosts investigate the mysterious details of Kitty’s death, Pat is inspired to create some new entertainment for the gang when the Ghosts lose their appetite for Food Club, and after Robin makes an outlandish prediction the Ghosts contemplate their legacies.

Ghosts Series 5 begins on Friday, October 6th at 8.30 pm. The whole six-part series also drops onto BBC iPlayer on that date too.

Meanwhile, the US version of the show heads into its third season this autumn. However, with production impacted by the Hollywood strikes, broadcaster CBS is drafting in UK episodes to bolster its schedule.

The Button House Archives

To accompany the series, there’s also now an “official companion” book.

Written by the show’s six creators, Ghosts: The Button House Archives is published by Bloomsbury on October 28th, 2023 and available to pre-order now.
