“We are DEAD excited to be returning to BBC One for a second series of Ghosts,” creators Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond said in a statement.

Attracting an average consolidated audience of 3.7million, it was the highest-rated comedy series on UK television in 2019. The new series will broadcast in 2020.
