Paramount Upfront - Ghosts arriving in Australia in 2025

A local adaptation of the British sitcom Ghosts will be landing in 2025 with Ghosts Australia coming to Paramount+ and Network 10.

Announced at Paramount's 2025 Upfront presentation, the eight-part family comedy series is set in a haunted country house full of ghosts.

Kate and Sean are about to jump into the inner-city rental market and move in together, until Kate inherits a huge mansion in the country. Unbeknown to them, the house is haunted by a collection of spirits who died in Ramshead Manor over the last 200 years.

When a near-death experience gives Kate the power to see the ghosts, all their lives (and afterlives) will change forever.

Ghosts Australia is a BBC Studios Productions Australia production for Network 10 and Paramount+. 

Paramount Australia's SVP of content and programming Daniel Monaghan said Ghosts has been a smash hit in the UK and US and has also attracted a very loyal fanbase here in Australia.

"With a stellar cast yet to be announced, we can’t wait to bring to life our very own series with an Aussie twist," he said.

BBC Studios Productions Australia GM and creative director Kylie Washington said Ghosts is one of those brilliant comedies which lends itself perfectly to localisation around the world.

"We have our own, unique, Australian characters that reflect our very own history and culture. Our eclectic group of ghosts provide endless entertainment in this share-house comedy series that we hope Australian viewers will fall in love with," she said.
