The Ghostbusters series, which Jason Reitman brought back to life by staying true to his roots, will continue to hunt ghosts. The brand, for which Sony holds the rights, has decided to continue with the new generation of Ghostbusters. The sequel to Ghostbusters: Afterlife will be released in 2023.
Earlier this month, during World Ghostbusters Day, director Reitman and screenwriter Gil Kenan broke the good news. In the sequel to Afterlife, we’ll return to New York, where the original films took place, and we’ll once again slide off the poles in the fire department building to chase after ghosts.
Afterlife, which was released in November 2021, had earned more than $ 200 million in box office revenue worldwide despite the effects of the pandemic. The fact that Ghostbusters, whose performance Sony is very pleased with, will return to New York is another source of excitement for fans. Ivan Reitman, the original series director and father of Jason Reitman, passed away earlier this year, and the sequel will have a special meaning to his legacy.
Now there is a question in the minds of whether the original team will return again with Ecto-1 taking a bend in the streets of Manhattan. Afterlife made a heartwarming comeback in this regard. The reunion of the original team, including Bill Murray, may again be gratifying. However, things are a bit troublesome for Bill Murray at the moment because the veteran actor is dealing with the film Being Mortal. It seems that we will learn more precise information from Afterlife 2, which will be released on December 20, 2023, in the future.
