Meanwhile, we\u2019ll get to see more backstories for the restless spirits of Button House, including one episode about Georgian noblewoman Kitty (Lolly Adefope) that co-star Laurence Rickard promises will \u201cbreak your heart\u201d.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no word yet on whether Ghosts will continue for a fourth series, although the writing team told\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/a> they already have ideas for more episodes<\/a>, while they also weighed in on the US remake<\/a> hitting screens this autumn.<\/p>\n Read on for everything you need to know about Ghosts series three, including UK air date, cast, and story details.<\/p>\n CONFIRMED:\u00a0<\/strong>Ghosts series three will premiere on BBC One at 8:30pm on Monday 9th August, with new episodes airing weekly in that time slot.<\/p>\n Series three started filming at the beginning of February, as confirmed by star and co-creator Laurence Rickard on Twitter, with the production coming to an end in April.<\/p>\n \u2018Smizing\u2019 pic.twitter.com\/wm8hqhJLa2<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Laurence Rickard (@Lazbotron) February 1, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote> Rickard previously told RadioTimes.com\u00a0<\/strong>and other press how Ghosts was adapting to the post-coronavirus world: \u201cA bit of a switch is trying to keep an eye on avoiding unnecessary crowd scenes and things like that, but we always want to be trying to be bigger and better and more ambitious.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think we\u2019re tempering it in that sense, we\u2019re just having to look at some of the practicalities of shooting with a slightly more intense eye.\u201d<\/p>\n We\u2019re still awaiting confirmation on whether Ghosts could continue beyond the third series, but the cast are highly enthusiastic about the idea.<\/p>\n Ben Willbond told\u00a0RadioTimes.com<\/strong> in December 2020: \u201cIt would be lovely because I think this time around in the writing process, as we unearth more, you just go \u2018oh wow, we could do that in series four, but we haven\u2019t got a series four!\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a nice feeling when you go, \u2018actually we\u2019ve got a lot of road here creatively\u2019. It\u2019s a nice prospect, but you are just beholden to whether the BBC want more or not. It\u2019s a really hard thing to contend with.\u201d<\/p> Charlotte Ritchie and Kiell Smith-Bynoe will return as the show\u2019s two main living characters, Alison and Mike, who have to juggle their chaotic lives with the demands of their undead tenants.<\/p>\n The creators of Ghosts will also be back \u2013 Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond \u2013 all of whom portray characters on the show.<\/p>\n In addition, Lolly Adefope and Katy Wix will also return as Georgian noblewoman Kitty and witch trial victim Mary, two of the other spirits in Mike and Alison\u2019s home.<\/p>\n At a recent interview with\u00a0RadioTimes.com\u00a0<\/strong>and other press, the cast of Ghosts teased what we can expect to see in the third series of the sitcom, starting with an unexpected new arrival to Mike and Alison\u2019s life that will send shockwaves through Button House.<\/p>\n Charlotte Ritchie was cryptic about who this mystery figure is, but did tease that their introduction will cause conflict and concern among the manor\u2019s undead inhabitants.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t tell you anything about them, but I could probably say that they\u2019re very unexpected and it poses a bit of a challenge to Mike and I, and our plans,\u201d she explains. \u201cIt kind of leaves everybody warring a little bit. There\u2019s a bit of a question over this person and who they are, essentially.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The former Call The Midwife star added that we do learn \u201ca bit more\u201d about Alison\u2019s family in the next six episodes, who have been largely unexplored up until now.<\/p>\n We also get to see a different side to husband Mike in series three, as he will have an opportunity to interact with some of the ghosts as he gets stuck into working from home.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was really enjoyable to film those scenes and have those moments where I actually felt like I was acting with those guys a lot more, because it\u2019s usually me acting with the guest cast and the ghosts are interacting with Allison,\u201d said Kiell Smith-Bynoe. \u201cSo I felt that we really got a lot more of that in this series, me with the ghosts, even though I can\u2019t talk to them directly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n As for the ghosts themselves, a seldom seen apparition of Button House will get more time in the limelight in series three, that being Laurence Rickard\u2019s headless Tudor, Humphrey.<\/p>\n \u201cHumphrey is more focal this time round and there\u2019s a bit of exploration for him as a character, and also a little bit of what was happening in his life,\u201d teased Rickard. \u201cIt was tremendously good fun and quite a departure from what we\u2019ve done with that character before.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n He continued: \u201cThere\u2019s a lovely story with Julian, which is a real departure. Across the whole thing, to say you see another side to Lady Button is an understatement, and you see a protective side of Mary in a very literal sense. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAnd there is an episode with Kitty that will break your heart. There\u2019s a couple of episodes this year where my reaction to watching what Lolly was doing made me feel like giving up a bit, she\u2019s just so so good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n While still being a family-friendly comedy, Ritchie has also teased that Ghosts series three will lean more into the show\u2019s horror elements, with references to classic tropes and movies in the genre.<\/p>\n RadioTimes.com <\/strong>has confirmed that the show will continue delving into the backstories of the ghosts in series three, giving fans an insight into what their lives were like and the circumstances of their demise.<\/p>\n Not just yet. However, we expect to get our first look at the new series very soon.<\/p>\nGhosts season 3 release date<\/strong><\/h2>\n
