Ghosts was a hit British sitcom following a group of ghosts from different historical periods haunting a country house, while sharing it with it’s new living occupants – a married couple.

The BBC One show only ran from 2019 to 2024 but now Matthew has dropped a very telling hint that something could be in the works.

Matthew posted a short clip of the famous wooden front door opening all by itself.

The star didn’t caption the cryptic post, leaving fans hopeful but equally confused.

One fan wrote: “We should be so lucky. Lucky, lucky, lucky.”

Another viewer said: “I’m not screaming in my house with excitement you are!… Okay, it’ me! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH.”

A third fan added: “OH MY GOD SOMETHING IS HAPPENING.”

Meanwhile, an eagle-eyed fourth fan wrote: ” They all posted this, what does it mean???”

Jim Howick – who played Pat Butcher – and Martha Howe-Douglas (Lady Stephanie ‘Fanny’ Button) also posted the same video of the door to their Instagram with no caption.

Ghosts was written and performed by the collective group Them There, who previously worked together on huge productions including Horrible Histories and Yonderland.
