The Ghostbusters: Afterlife sequel movie is coming sooner than expected as Sony has revealed its release date. The most recent installment in the supernatural comedy franchise saw Jason Reitman take the reins from his father, director/producer Ivan Reitman, as he co-wrote the script with City of Ember's Gil Kenan and directed. Ghostbusters: Afterlife introduced the descendants of Harold Ramis' Egon Spengler as they faced a major supernatural threat with ties to the Manhattan Crossrip from the original film.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife introduced a number of stars to the franchise, namely Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Paul Rudd, Celeste O'Connor and Logan Kim while also featuring the returns of Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts and Sigourney Weaver reprising their original roles. Following multiple COVID-related delays, the film hit theaters in November 2021 to mixed-to-positive reviews from critics, but was a solid box office performer, grossing over $204 million against its $75 million production budget. Thanks to this success, Sony has gotten to work on multiple new films in the franchise, including a Ghostbusters: Afterlife sequel, and one appears to be further along in development than previously expected.
