If you believed it was time to bid farewell to the phantoms of Button House, you’re mistaken, my friend. The BBC comedy featuring a couple residing in a haunted abode is making its return, now in cinematic form.
Ghosts: The Possession of Button House is crafted by Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard, and Ben Willbond, the creators of the original Ghosts television series. Simon Hynd (Ghosts, Motherland, Can You Keep a Secret?) is at the helm of directing the movie.
It’s not surprising that the BBC is joining the film wave with a critically acclaimed series. Take a look at Downton Abbey; they rolled out three feature films following six series. And don’t overlook Immortal Man, the Peaky Blinders sequel, which is set to land on Netflix soon.

When will the Ghosts film be released?
The BBC hasn’t revealed the launch date yet, but filming is set to commence in March 2026. Considering the delays on set, post-production, and marketing, we speculate that the Ghosts movie will premiere in 2027.
What’s the plot of the Ghosts film?
Just like the release date, we can only speculate. In the final season, Alison and Mike made the choice to sell Button House to a hotel chain. In the epilogue, years later, the old Coopers return to the establishment, now an upscale hotel, reserving their “regular” suite where their ghostly friends are lingering.
The film might explore a narrative between the seasons, detailing some undisclosed adventure of Alison and Mike. Alternatively, it could provide a glimpse into Button House as a hotel, offering humor reminiscent of The Shining and The White Lotus.
The creators and writers expressed:
We assumed Button House received a proper farewell at the end of the last series. We had no intention of a revival. Yet when this story emerged, we were thrilled to revisit our haunted home for another round. We look forward to reuniting and welcoming some exceptional new talent to tell this tale of life and death.
Who’s starring in the Ghosts film?
The BBC hasn’t unveiled the complete cast yet. However, we know the lead duo will return: Charlotte Ritchie as Alison Cooper and Kiell Smith-Bynoe as Mike Cooper.
Lolly Adefope is back as Kitty Higham, the ghost of a noble Georgian woman.
