Hold Up: British Comedy 'Ghosts' Film Is Back?

Okay, Catzye faithful, let's be direct: this isn't anime. Somehow, news of a British comedy film landed on our desk, and here we are. The critically acclaimed British series Ghosts is returning with a feature-length film, "The Possession of Button House," hitting theaters October 23rd.

For the uninitiated (which we suspect is most of you), Ghosts follows a varied group of historical spirits haunting a country estate. Its new, very much alive owners, struggle to live alongside them. Think quirky ensemble comedy with a supernatural twist, less yokai battles, more existential British humor.

The entire original cast and creators — Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard, and Ben Willbond — are back, both starring and writing. Lolly Adefope, Charlotte Ritchie, and Kiell Smith-Bynoe also return. Creators stated a compelling new story drew them back, despite initial plans for no comeback.
