The Canterville Ghost is a 2021 British BBC Studios and American BYUtv television series based on the short story The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde.[1][2][3] In the UK, the series was broadcast on Channel 5 in 2022 and has been made available for digital purchase on Amazon Video.[4][5][6]
Resident ghost Sir Simon de Canterville is none-too-pleased when an American family moves into his family’s grand English estate after tech billionaire Hiram Otis purchases it. Hiram has no idea that Simon has been haunting the grounds for five centuries nor that his family is about to face the enmity of the local aristocracy. This modern retelling of the classic tale focuses on three families: the aristocratic Cantervilles, the Romani Lovells and the American Otises.
