The original Ghosts, which premiered in the UK in 2019, introduced audiences to the premise of a sweet married couple who have their lives turned upside down when the estate they inherit is actually filled with many paranormal guests (that only the wife can see). The series ran for 5 hilarious seasons, with its last episode airing in December 2023. Then, there’s the US version, which made its debut in 2021 and has already delighted viewers for 3 seasons. With the UK series officially at an end, some fans have been musing about whether there could be a crossover with the characters from the British version heading across the pond.
It makes sense why this idea has come about. There are so many funny characters on the British version, especially the various ghosts of the estate, which include Kitty Higham (Lolly Adefope), Lady Fanny Button (Martha Howe-Douglas), and caveman Robin (Laurence Rickard). And the ‘human’ characters of Alison (Charlotte Ritchie) and Mike (Kiell Smith-Bynoe) bring a warm and funny vibe to Ghosts UK that makes every episode a delight to watch. It’s no wonder that fans haven’t quite felt ready to say goodbye forever to these people. There were only 35 episodes altogether of the series (they had much shorter seasons of seven episodes each); perhaps some feel that there wasn’t enough time to completely mine all of the comedy out of these characters. So, with some creative ideas from the Ghosts US writing team, there could be a world in which some of the ghosts (or even Alison and Mike) journey over to America to stay at the Woodstone Bed and Breakfast with Sam (Rose McIver) and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar). But is it even a good concept to do a crossover with these two shows?
