What’s This TV Show About?
A British comedy series airing on the CBS television network, the Ghosts UK TV series is the basis for the American version and stars Charlotte Ritchie, Kiell Smith-Bynoe, Martha Howe-Douglas, Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Lolly Adefope, Laurence Rickard, Ben Willbond, Katy Wix, Jim Howick, and Yani Xander. The story takes place at a crumbling country mansion called Button House. It’s home to restless spirits who have died there over the centuries and not moved on. Each is a product of their time and they’re thrown together for eternity, resigned to squabble over mundane daily gripes. The ghost residents include naïve Georgian noblewoman Katherine ‘Kitty’ Higham (Adefope), romantic poet Thomas Angus Thorne (Baynton), disgraced Tory Julian Fawcett MP (Farnaby), Edwardian lady of the manor Lady Stephanie ‘Fanny’ Button (Howe-Douglas), youth group leader Patrick ‘Pat’ Butcher (Howick), caveman Rogh (Rickard), Stuart era witch trial victim Mary Guppy (Wix), and The Captain (Willbond), a World War II Army officer. Their afterlives are thrown into turmoil when a young urban couple, Alison (Ritchie) and Mike Cooper (Smith-Bynoe), unexpectedly inherit the peaceful derelict house and plan to turn it into a bustling hotel.
Season Two Ratings
The second season of Ghosts UK averaged a 0.19 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.14 million viewers. Compared to season one, that’s down by 45% in the demo and down by 27% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (includes DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how Ghosts UK stacks up against other CBS TV shows.
As of November 17, 2024, Ghosts UK has not been cancelled or renewed for a third season on CBS. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will CBS continue to air the Ghosts UK series and pick up season three? The US network started airing the original British version of its popular Ghosts series to help fill the primetime schedule. Now that the industry strikes are over, I suspect that CBS will get back to airing its own content. Still, I could see CBS deciding to air the remaining seasons of Ghosts UK over the summer or during the winter holidays to help CBS fill time. I’ll update this page with breaking developments.
