Network 10 And Paramount+ Announce New Local Comedy Series Ghosts Australia – The First Local Iteration Of Critically Acclaimed British Sitcom Ghosts. Coming To Network 10 And Paramount+ In 2025.
Paramount Australia with BBC Studios Productions Australia, today announced that a new local adaptation of the beloved and critically acclaimed British sitcom Ghosts, will be landing down under with Ghosts Australia coming to Network 10 and Paramount+ in 2025.
This distinctive and highly spirited eight-part family comedy series will be set in a haunted country house full of hilarious new ghosts who are as chaotic, unpredictable and messy as Australian history itself.
New lovebirds Kate and Sean are about to jump into the hellscape that is the inner-city rental market, until Kate inherits a huge mansion in the country. Moving in together for the first time the young couple are attempting domestic bliss, but unbeknown to them, the house is haunted by a collection of needy spirits who carked it in Ramshead Manor over the past 200 years.
Optimistic go-getter Kate wants to revamp the manor into a boutique hotel, but loveable city boy Sean isn’t so sure, he isn’t built for country living. When a near-death experience gives Kate the power to see the ghosts, all their lives (and afterlives) will change forever.
As Kate and Sean navigate the milestones of a new relationship, building a business and dealing with the emotional needs of six neurotic ghosts, will their relationship survive or end up as dead as their new housemates?
