Key Points
  • Jonathan Ross's 'Haunted Homecoming' cancelled after one series.
  • Ross said the show ended because no ghosts were found.
  • Viewers praised the show despite its cancellation.

The show aired on Discovery+ in 2024 and saw Ross revisit haunts from his childhood in East End London. Ross, who described himself as a 'sceptic', said he would not fake being scared for the programme. He recounted encountering someone who had a spooky experience but concluded they had unresolved issues.

' It remains unclear whether ratings or budget also played a role in the decision, as Discovery+ has not officially commented. Despite the cancellation, the series was warmly received by viewers. One viewer described it as 'awesome', while another called it 'an insightful and informative watch'.

I'm not going to do another ghost hunt show because we couldn't find any. I said, 'I'm going to tell you in advance, I'm a sceptic. I'm not going to say there aren't ghosts but I'm not the sort of person who's going to fake being scared.' They said they didn't want me to be like that.
