Returning: Ghosts

Season 2 of UK comedy Ghosts premieres on ABC Comedy next week.

The series follows a cash- strapped young couple who inherit a grand country house, only to find it is both falling apart and teeming with the ghosts of former inhabitants (apologies to Scooby Doo).

This aired in the UK in September.

Alison (Charlotte Ritchie) and Mike (Kiell Smith-Bynoe) are trying to find a semi- harmonious routine with the ghostly housemates of Button House. The ghosts have found a way to make their new situation work for them, while the couple are working towards a new money-making venture to fund their perpetual renovations.

Without the money to continue the extensive building work and the hotel still a distant dream, Alison and Mike decide to try to rent the place out for events. After a paranormal photo of the house goes viral overnight, Alison and Mike worry that it will ruin the house’s reputation. As they scramble to debunk the spooky rumours and convince people that the house is spectre-free, they spot their opportunity to bring money in faster: they’ll use the ghosts’ ‘talents’ to create an authentic haunted house experience.

But will Alison and Mike be able to convince the ghosts to be exploited for money-making gains? They may have underestimated their punters’ ability to smell a rat…

Production credits: A Monumental Television production in association with Them There.

9:15pm Tuesday November 17 on ABC Comedy.
