Disney+ partners with TF1 for the French series Ghosts

A ghostly comedy with Camille Chamoux, Fred Testot, Tiphaine Daviot and Camille Combal.

Association of prominent entertainment giants: Disney+ and TF1 are teaming up for the first time to develop a new French series together: Ghosts.

It will be a fantasy comedy with ghosts who coexist as best they can in the Mérudeaux castle that Alison and Nabil have just inherited, determined to transform it into a hotel.

The main couple will be played by Camille Chamoux And Hafid F. Benamar. Around, the ghosts will be embodied by Natacha Lindinger (Countess Marie-Catherine de Mérudeaux), Fred Testot (a politician), Tiphaine Daviot (a medieval peasant woman), François Vincentelli (an army commander), Bruno Sanches (a scout leader), Paul Scarfoglio (a poet), Mr Octopus (a prehistoric man), Paul Deby (a collaborator of the Second World War) and Camille Combal (a Gaulish leader).

Several prestigious guests will complete the troupe throughout the episodes such as Eric Judor or Matthias Quiviger alias Ragnar the Breton.

The series is loosely adapted from the hit BBC English format “Ghosts”. Filming has just started in the Paris region, under the direction ofArthur Sanigou (A stunning Christmas, Vengeance at a triple gallop).

The six 30-minute episodes will be broadcast first on Disney Plus in 2025 before being released on TF1 in the clear.

The story : “Daniel is a brave scout leader. Marie-Catherine is a good aristocrat in all respects. Augustus is a cursed poet. Roland is a crooked politician. Georges is an authoritarian soldier. Berthe is a somewhat naive peasant girl. Albos is a learned Gallic leader. François is a repentant collaborator. And Tayac is a pretty smart prehistoric man. A priori, they have nothing in common. And yet… These are ghosts who live together despite themselves in the place where they died over the centuries: the Château de Mérudeaux. They spend peaceful days there – although a little monotonous – until the arrival of Alison and Nabil, a couple who have just inherited the place and who want to turn it into a hotel. It’s a nightmare for our ghosts who decide to haunt the couple in order to scare them away. Unfortunately they don’t excel in this area. Everything changes when Alison, after an obscure accident involving a chandelier, begins to see and hear them… Stuck in the castle due to the work and the loan that Nabil took out while she was in a coma (!), Alison is obliged to get to know them. She will discover funny and endearing personalities who will little by little become her new family..”
