Both a British and American version of this sitcom exist, centering on a young couple who inherit a country estate only to discover it's inhabited by the spirits of deceased former residents, whom only one of them can see and hear. What is this comedic series called?

The comedic series that fits this description is called Ghosts (Review). Both the original British version, which premiered in 2019, and its American adaptation, which debuted in 2021, center on a young couple whose lives are turned upside down after they inherit a sprawling, dilapidated country estate. Following a near-death experience, one half of the couple gains the extraordinary ability to see and communicate with the numerous spirits of former residents who are still very much "at home" on the property. These ghosts, each from a different historical era, are invisible and intangible to everyone else.

The acclaimed British version, known for its witty writing and heartwarming moments, was created by and stars the comedic troupe behind the popular children's show "Horrible Histories" and "Yonderland." This background allowed for a rich tapestry of historical characters, from a Georgian noblewoman to a World War II captain, all trapped together in the grand Button House, leading to hilarious clashes of personality and era. The series cleverly explores themes of community, acceptance, and the lingering legacies of the past through its unique premise.

The American adaptation, developed by Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, successfully brought the concept to a new audience, setting the story in the fictional Woodstone Mansion. While maintaining the core premise, the American version adapted the ghosts' backstories to reflect different periods of U.S. history, creating a distinct ensemble of characters. Both iterations have been praised for their engaging characters and the comedic potential derived from the living and deceased learning to coexist under one roof, making "Ghosts" a beloved supernatural (Review) sitcom on both sides of the Atlantic.
