Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton are set to star in the supernatural thriller, 2:22 A Ghost Story, at the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton.
The show will run from November 10 to 15, 2025.
Stacey Dooley will reprise her role as Jenny, while her partner, Kevin Clifton, will play Jenny's husband, Sam.
This marks the first time in the play's history that a real-life couple will portray Jenny and Sam.
Kevin Clifton said: "I’m such a huge fan of 2:22 as a play.
"I have seen it a number of times and I’ve wanted to play Sam for ages.
"It’s superbly written, clever, funny and thought-provoking, whilst always maintaining a danger that kept me on the edge of my seat.
"When Stacey did the West End run, I thought she was brilliant and just wanted to be up there with her.
"Me and Stace playing a couple with a new baby in a new house could not be more perfect.
"I’m really excited."
Stacey Dooley added: "I’m thrilled to be slipping back into Jenny’s slippers.
"I had such a magical few months with 2:22 last year, I couldn’t be more excited to bring this incredibly clever show on the road and with my Kev."
The play, written by award-winning writer Danny Robins, creator of the hit BBC podcast and TV series Uncanny, has enjoyed three years of success in the West End over seven seasons.
It has been seen by more than one million people in 17 different countries across five continents.
The play began its life in the summer of 2021 at the Noel Coward Theatre, starring Lily Allen, Julia Chan, Hadley Fraser, and Jake Wood, and won the WhatsOnStage award for Best Play.
The story follows Jenny, who believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam is sceptical.
They argue with their first dinner guests, old friend Lauren and new partner Ben, about whether the dead can really walk again.
Belief and scepticism clash, but something feels strange and frightening, and that something is getting closer, so they’re going to stay up until 2:22 and then they’ll know.
