Ghosts stars hint at show comeback with cryptic post
Stars of Ghosts have sparked excitement after sharing a mysterious video of Button House’s door opening by itself.
Stars of Ghosts have hinted at a return for the BBC show.
The sitcom - which followed a group of ghosts from different historical periods haunting Button House, which they share with a married couple, Alison (Charlotte Ritchie) and Mike Cooper (Kiell Smith-Bynoe) - ran from 2019 until 2023.
But now Jim Howick, 46, Mathew Baynton, 45, and 45-year-old Martha Howe-Douglas - who all also co-wrote and co-created the show - have dropped a hint that a revival could be in the works.
It comes as they posted a short video of the country house's famous wooden front door opening by itself.
Jim, Matthew and Martha - who played Pat Butcher, Thomas Thorne and Lady Stephanie ‘Fanny’ Button, respectively - did not caption their cryptic uploads.
And it has left fans equally excited and confused
One person commented under Matthew's post: "I’m not screaming in my house with excitement, you are!…okay, it’s me! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH (sic)."
A second user reacted to Jim's upload with: "Eeeeeehhh! I don't know what's happening or what this means but I'm seated and ready for whatever this is!
"Button House it's nice to see you to see you nice (sic)."
And a third supporter typed under Martha's post: "GIVE US MORE PLS I DON'T THINK ANY OF US CAN HANDLE THIS (sic)."
Ghosts - which was also starred and was co-written and co-created by Simon Farnaby (Julian Fawcett MP), Laurence Rickard (Robin the Caveman) and Ben Willbond (The Captain) - has returned in Australia after it was given the green light in 2025.
Also, last year, Jim admitted he thinks that the show would have to be in a different format if it ever did return to screens.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I'll never say never because I really miss doing it, but I don't think it will return in its sitcom format if it does return."
And Jim also believes that the collection of characters from different historical periods was the key to the programme's success.
He said: "It's the characters really, I think. I think that establishing a family with characters from different points in time, different sensibilities, different ethics, creating a family dynamic with perfect strangers.
"That's what's appealing to people, and that's what's appealing to families."
