A BBC insider told the Daily Star: “A film has been written, and it’s been given the green light.
“Everyone involved is really excited that Ghosts will be on the big screen.”
They added: “It’s hoped that most of the original cast will be able to reprise their roles.
“Producers have already signed up a few of them, and they’re in talks with the others.
“They think it’ll be a dream cast.”
Previously, Lolly Adefope, who played Kitty, said she would love to rejoin the programme.
She told the Metro: “The ending was quite final in a satisfying way. I think it’s harder to cope with if it’s really open-ended, it’s nice to have that finality.”
