Following the success of its first season, which has been repeated on BBC1, Ghosts is coming back for a second series
Ghosts season 2 will again follow young couple Alison (ex Call the Midwife star Charlotte Ritchie) and Mike (Kiell Smith-Bynoe), as they try to live in a grand house packed with troublesome ghosts.
The first series, which starred much of the cast of children's favourite Horrible Histories, proved a big hit and it was no surpise when the BBC ordered a second run. And its return date has just been confirmed!
What happened in Ghosts season one?
The first series of Ghosts ran for six episodes, and saw Alison and Mike receiving an offer from a luxury hotel chain in its finale, much to the dismay of its ghostly inhabitants.
They excitedly agree to sell the property, but upon discovering a plague pit in the basement, the hotel chain withdraws the offer
That bombshell ending makes room for another round.
Ghosts season 2: What's in store?
The Ghosts cast has teased: “We were thrilled with how warmly series one was received and can't wait to creak open the doors of Button House again and share another clutch of ghost stories."
Series 2 was officially confirmed last year, with its creators saying, "We are DEAD excited to be returning to BBC1 for a second series of Ghosts."
They added, "We could not have asked for a more enthusiastic response to the show, and can’t wait to get haunting Button House once again."
