Premise

When city couple Kate and Sean inherit Ramshead Manor, a rundown country estate, they see it as a sign for a fresh new start. But after Kate has a near-death experience, she gains the ability to see and hear ghosts - and discovers there are several living in the mansion. Kate must navigate the ghosts' issues while trying to start a hotel business with Sean, who remains unable to see them.

Production

In October 2024, an Australian adaptation was first announced for Network 10 and Paramount+ during the network's annual upfronts event, with BBC Studios Australia producing the series. ^[2] Eight episodes were announced to be filmed in Perth, Western Australia ^[3] and the ghost characters included publican and Irish Great Famine survivor Eileen, naval officer Gideon, early 20th century socialite Miranda, 1980s aerobics instructor Lindy, Chinese-born Australian Gold Rush miner Joon and 90s motorbike gang-member "Satan". ^[4] The living characters are played by Tamala Shelton and Rowan Witt. ^[4] The series will premiere on both Network 10 and Paramount+ on 2 November 2025. ^{[5] [6]}
