Ghosts is a British sitcom that was broadcast on BBC One for a total of five seasons and 34 episodes, running from April 2019 to December 2023. The story centered on a group of ghosts from different historical periods that haunted a country house they shared with its new living occupants. Years after the show came to an end, it’s getting a feature film follow-up called Ghosts: The Possession of Button House – and today, a trailer has dropped online! You can watch it in the embed above.
What is Ghosts: The Possession of Button House about?
Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the trailer reveals that the film has something to do with a group of teenagers who break into the abandoned Button House and attempt a séance, accidentally triggering a spooky encounter with the manor’s resident spirits.
The sitcom was created by Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard, and Ben Willbond, all of whom also played ghosts on the show. They have all returned to write the screenplay for Ghosts: The Possession of Button House and reprise their roles alongside fellow returning cast members Charlotte Ritchie, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, and Lolly Adefope.
When this project was first announced, the series’ creators provided the following statement: “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.“
The film has been directed by Simon Hynd (who was a regular director on the sitcom) and produced by Alison Carpenter and Andy Brunskill.
Ghosts: The Possession of Button House is set to receive a theatrical release in the UK on October 23, just in time for Halloween!
