Ghost BFF is a Canadian comedy web series, which premiered in 2018 on WhoHaha.[1] Using humor to combat the stigma around mental illness, the series centres on Amy (Vanessa Matsui), a woman whose life is turned upside down when her friend Tara (Kaniehtiio Horn), who committed suicide by drug overdose three years earlier, returns as a ghost and begins to confront her about her own life choices.[2]

The series received two Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 7th Canadian Screen Awards in 2019, for Best Web Series, Fiction and Best Lead Performance in a Digital Program or Series (Matsui).[3] The creators announced in March 2019 that a second season of the series was going into production,[3] with the season debuting on Shaftesbury Films' KindaTV channel on YouTube in 2020.[4][5]
