Ghostbusters (Animated series for Netflix)

‘Ghostbusters’ Animated Series In Works At Netflix

A Ghostbusters animated series is in development at Netflix, Deadline has confirmed. The project, based on the Ghostbusters IP, hails from Ghostbusters: Afterlife co-writers Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan (Ghost Corps) and Sony Pictures Animation.

Plot details are not yet known. The project was announced Wednesday, day 3 of Netflix’s Geeked Week.

Reitman and Kenan will executive produce, and production will be in conjunction with Ghost Corps, Inc.

The series is part of the expanding Ghostbusters universe, which began with Ivan Reitman’s Ghostbusters in 1984 and has since become a mega-pop culture phenomenon culminating in last year’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

I think I read it will have new characters, I'm okay with that. I've always felt this concept was so easily franchise-able. There's ghosts everywhere, someone will need to take care of them.

All female Ghostbuster perhaps. It’s never been done before. I think everyone will love it.

It can very easily work if they simply have the team busting ghosts in a manner already shown by the existing media and the cast simply happens to be all female.

I was a big “The Real Ghostbusters” fan back in the day. I’ll check this out for sure.

The first couple seasons are the sharpest writing for any cartoon in the 1980s. They had writers like Michael J. Straczynski, who would go on to become the creator of Babylon 5 and many comic books.

Yet another one I won't see because it's on Netflix which IMO is overpriced (and guessing it won't see a home video release).

It’s still owned by Sony, so it is possible.
