It looks like there’ll be more episodes of the US version of Ghosts than its UK original in just one season.

CBS has given a full season order (although exactly how that many has not yet been confirmed) to the American take on the haunted house comedy.

“We’re thrilled this spirited new comedy has struck a chord with viewers and critics alike and is off to a great start,” Thom Sherman, CBS Entertainment’s Senior EVP of Programming, said in a statement. “We’ve loved Ghosts since day one, and thank the outstanding executive producers, cast and writers for skilfully bringing to life the boldest, most unique comedy you’ll find anywhere on television this season.”

Rose McIver (iZombie) and Utkarsh Ambudkar (Never Have I Ever) star as Sam and Jay, a Manhattan couple who inherit a big countryside estate that is also home to a group of spirits who died over different periods in history: 1700s militiaman/dandy Isaac (The Other Two‘s Brandon Scott Jones); ’80s scout troop leader Pete (What We Do in the Shadows guest star Richie Moriarty); Prohibition singer Alberta (Young Sheldon‘s Danielle Pinnock); pants-less ’90s finance bro Trevor (Asher Grodman); a Native American named Sasappis (Austin & Ally‘s Román Zaragoza); a ’60s hippie named Flower (Jane the Virgin‘s Sheila Carrasco); Viking Thorfinn (Doom Patrol‘s Devan Chandler Long); and Hetty (Devious Maids’ Rebecca Wisocky), Sam’s distant relative from the 1800s and a former owner of the estate.
