BBC One has confirmed that Ghosts will return later this month.

Airing on television and being published on streaming/catch-up platform iPlayer, the comedy returns on Friday 23rd September.

Following a young, poor couple who unexpectedly inherit a decrepit country estate complete with its own array of sitting spectral tenants, the sitcom has run for three hit series to date and won numerous awards, including Best Returning TV Sitcom at the Comedy.co.uk Awards 2021.

It is created, written by and stars Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond, with Lolly Adefope and Katy Wix as other ghostly inhabitants of Button House, and Charlotte Ritchie and Kiell Smith-Bynoe as young couple Alison and Mike.

The six new episodes will air weekly on television at 8:30pm from the 23rd September, with all episodes expected to be released on iPlayer on that date.

Update: Due to schedule changes due to the Queen's death, Episode 1 will now start at 8:50pm on Friday 23rd.

The new episodes see Mike and Alison running their new bijoux B&B.

The first episode sees Mary revealing she has never had a holiday, so Pat teaches her the joys and pitfalls of a week on the Costa Del Sol. The Plaguers have taken to idolising Thomas, since spotting Alison's fetching portrait of him in the basement. Thomas naturally assumes their obsession stems from a love of his poetry - much to the annoyance of the Captain, who challenges them to endure a recital.

Series 4 is already available to pre-order on DVD, and currently bears a release date of 27th May 2023.

Meanwhile, the successful US adaptation is due to begin airing its second season shortly.

Ghosts - Series 1, 2 & 3

The hugely successful sitcom created by the writers and performers from the award-winning Horrible Histories, Yonderland and the feature film Bill.

Includes all episodes from Series 1-3, plus the 2020 Christmas Special and bonus features.

The crumbling country pile of Button House is home to numerous restless spirits who have died there over the centuries - each ghost very much a product of their time, resigned to squabbling with each other for eternity over the most inane of daily gripes.

But their lives - or, rather, afterlives - are thrown into turmoil when a young couple - Alison and Mike - surprisingly inherit the peaceful derelict house and make plans to turn it into a bustling family hotel.

As the ghosts attempt to oust the newcomers from their home, and Mike and Alison discover the true scale of the project they've taken on, fate conspires to trap both sides in an impossible house share, where every day is, literally, a matter of life and death.
