Across the Pond: Where to Catch Ghosts in the UK
If you're lucky enough to be in the UK, or have access to a UK-based streaming service, you're in for a treat. The easiest place to watch the original Ghosts is on BBC iPlayer.

Ghosts in America: A Spectral Streaming Search
Across the Atlantic, things get a little more...spirited. But fear not, finding the show isn't as tricky as convincing Lady Button to embrace modern technology. The US version, also called Ghosts, is a completely different show, inspired by the BBC version.
The US version of Ghosts is a CBS show, so you can typically find new episodes on Paramount+. Many cable packages also offer on-demand access to CBS shows, which might include Ghosts.
Streaming Options for the Original UK Ghosts in the US
Okay, this is where it gets a little spectral. Unfortunately, the original BBC Ghosts isn't as readily available on major US streaming platforms. It often depends on licensing agreements that can change.
However, keep an eye on services like HBO Max. They sometimes pick up BBC shows, so it's worth checking periodically. Another place to look is BritBox, which specializes in British television.
You could also check for options to purchase the seasons digitally on platforms like Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV. This allows you to own the episodes and watch them whenever you want.
DVDs and Physical Media: A Timeless Treasure
For the truly dedicated Ghosts fan, there's always the option of purchasing the DVDs or Blu-rays. This guarantees you'll always have access to the show, even if streaming services decide to be mischievous.
Plus, who doesn't love the feel of a physical copy in their hands? It's like owning a piece of Button House yourself!
The Joy of Discovery: Why Ghosts Haunts Our Hearts
No matter how you choose to watch Ghosts, one thing is certain: you're in for a treat. The show perfectly blends humor, heart, and a touch of the supernatural.
It's a show about connection, acceptance, and finding family in the most unexpected places. Whether you're laughing at Pat's never-ending optimism or tearing up at a touching moment between the ghosts, Ghosts is a show that stays with you.
So, happy watching! May your search for Ghosts be fruitful, and may your laughter echo through the halls of Button House (or wherever you happen to be watching!).
