Fans of the beloved BBC sitcom are speculating about a potential return three years after the finale.
BBC Ghosts enthusiasts are certain that the cherished sitcom is set for a comeback following an enigmatic social media post.
The popular programme originally aired for five series between 2019 and 2023, chronicling a collection of spectres from various historical eras haunting a country estate whilst cohabiting with its new living residents – a married pair.
It swiftly became a viewer favourite and featured an outstanding ensemble including Charlotte Ritchie and Kiell Smith-Bynoe.
Alongside Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond.
Despite supporters being heartbroken when it concluded three years ago, Matthew Baynton, who portrayed Thomas Thorne, has now sent devotees into a frenzy after taking to his social media to hint at the programme’s return, reports the Mirror.

The actor shared a brief video of the iconic wooden entrance door swinging open entirely on its own. He chose to maintain the post’s mystery by leaving the cryptic footage without a caption.
Predictably, it wasn’t long before supporters shared their responses, with one devotee commenting: “Ohmagaaad what’s going on!”.
Whilst another exclaimed: “WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS.” “Are we getting to return to Button House? ! ? !” a third questioned.
“Is it Ghosts the movie? Please say it’s Ghosts the movie,” one admirer begged. Meanwhile another enthusiast urged: “Please say you are making a Ghosts film/Christmas special/new series? Pleeeeeeease! !”
Jim Howick, known for his role as Pat Butcher, and Martha Howe-Douglas, who portrayed Lady Stephanie ‘Fanny’ Button, both shared the same video of a door on their Instagram accounts without any accompanying text.
Ghosts concluded with a festive special but made a resurgence in Australia. The green light for its revival was given last year, with broadcasts commencing in November.
The show’s popularity among fans is undeniable, though it remains uncertain whether a second season is on the cards.
Discussing the decision to bring the successful comedy to Australian audiences, Kylie Washington, the Creative Director for the BBC in Australia, expressed: “We’re excited to bring Ghosts to life with a unique cast of characters that reflect our very own history and culture.”
She added: “Western Australia will provide the perfect backdrop for all their comedic antics and we’re grateful to Screenwest for their support.”
Ghosts seasons 1-5 are streaming now on BBC iPlayer.
