Ghosts Getting Australian Treatment

Paramount Australia and BBC Studios Productions Australia are working on a local adaptation of the British sitcom Ghosts for Paramount+ and Network 10.

The eight-part family comedy series will be set in a haunted country house full of new ghosts who are as chaotic, unpredictable and messy as Australian history itself.

Ghosts Australia is targeted for 2025. It is based on the original series Ghosts, produced by Monumental Television in association with Them There for BBC One and is distributed by BBC Studios.

Daniel Monaghan, senior VP of content and programming for Paramount Australia, said: “Ghosts has been a smash hit in the U.K. and U.S. 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.”

Kylie Washington, general manager and creative director for BBC Studios Productions Australia, said: “Ghosts is one of those brilliant comedies which lends itself perfectly to localization around the world, and we have our own, unique, Australian characters that reflect our very own history and culture. Our eclectic group of ghosts provides endless entertainment in this share-house comedy series that we hope Australian viewers will fall in love with.”
