Ghosts (UK) is the original British comedy series that inspired the American remake, following a couple who inherit a crumbling manor house haunted by ghosts from different eras of British history. Created by and starring the cast of Horrible Histories, the show is beloved for its wit, heart, and clever historical comedy.
The UK version of Ghosts streams on Paramount+ and Max. All 5 series (seasons) are available.
The UK version is set in a British country manor with historical figures from British history (a Regency-era aristocrat, a Viking, a Romantic poet), while the US version is set in a Woodstone mansion with American historical figures.
Ghosts UK ran for 5 series (seasons) from 2019 to 2023, plus several Christmas specials.
The UK version came first, premiering on BBC One in 2019. The US version premiered on CBS in 2021.
Both have passionate fans. The UK version tends to be drier and more British in its humor, while the US version is broader. Many fans enjoy both.
