Seeing is boo-lieving: Trailer drops for Ghosts, November premiere – The official trailer for the Australian adaptation of the British and US comedy, Ghosts, has dropped, with the series set to hit screens on Network 10 and Paramount+ on 2 November.
The eight-episode comedy series, by BBC Studios Productions Australia, was filmed on-set in East Perth and on-location at historic Woodbridge House, near Midland, earlier this year.
The production has been made possible with investment from Screenwest and the State Government’s Western Australian Production Attraction Incentive.
When Kate (Tamala: Cleverman, Nowhere Boys) and Sean (Rowan Witt: Totally Completely Fine, Book Of Mormon) inherit Ramshead Manor, a dilapidated country estate, they see a fresh start to live together and transform it into a boutique hotel. But the real test isn’t the renovations – it’s the six ghostly residents haunting the place.
After hitting her head, Kate develops the ability to see the dead, and soon after, the couple are dragged into a whirlwind of hauntings, tantrums, and century-old secrets that refuse to die. As Kate and Sean try to fix up the house, they end up fixing ghost problems instead – putting their relationship through the wringer but ultimately finding a new kind of family.
The hilarious ensemble of ghosts are brought to life by Mandy McElhinney (Love Child, Paper Giants: Magazine Wars), Brent Hill (Hamilton, School of Rock), Ines English (Last Days of the Space Age, The Last Anniversary), Michelle Brasier (Thank God You’re Here, Aunty Donna), George Zhao (The Family Law, Gold Diggers), and Jackson Tozer (Ricky Stanicky, Deadloch).
Rikki Lea Bestall, Screenwest Chief Executive Officer said:
“We are extremely excited to see that Australian take of Ghosts hit our screens. Ghosts Australia showcases the winning combination of filming on-location around Perth and in-studio – a successful recipe that will prove even more fruitful with the opening of the Perth Film Studios next year.”
Ghosts Australia will screen with a double premiere episode on 2 November at 8:30pm on 10, and all eight episodes available to stream on Paramount+.
