It may still be August, but spooky season is well and truly here. Pumpkin Spice Lattes have landed at Starbucks, ghost-shaped cushions are taking over the aisles at TK Maxx… and now Ghost Stories has revealed its brand-new West End cast. 

Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman’s cult-hit chiller is officially returning to London for a strictly limited run at the Peacock Theatre from 30 September to 8 November 2025, with a special gala performance on 8 October.

First seen in the West End back in 2010 (where it was nominated for an Olivier Award for Best New Play), the show has since been adapted into a film and enjoyed a successful UK tour. Now it’s back in the capital and ready to send a fresh wave of shivers down the spine of theatre fans brave enough to step inside the theatre. 

All Hallows Eve is less than a day away.

The creators of Ghost Stories have made the show even scarier following its 2010/11 West End run. Whilst horror films are hugely popular we don’t see so much horror on stage at it is very challenging. However, Jeremy Dyson and Andy Nyman certainly do the genre justice and horror fans can certainly expect to have their experience enhanced by this terrifying theatrical experience.

This week sees the West End return of Ghost Stories which begins previews at the Arts Theatre this Thursday (13th February). The production, which stars Dino Fetscher, Paul Kemp, Paul Kendrick, Chris Levens, Gary Shelford, Mark Starr and Philip Whitchurch, marks Ghost Stories’ first major West End revival since its West End premiere in 2010.
