Ghostbusters Animated TV Show From Afterlife Director In Development
Ghostbusters: Afterlife director Jason Reitman isn't done with the franchise yet as he is developing a new animated TV show. The latest installment in the sci-fi comedy franchise acted as a revival of the series, picking up the story 32 years after the events of Ghostbusters II and shifting its focus to single mother Callie and her two kids, Phoebe and Trevor. The family are the descendants of Harold Ramis' original Ghostbuster Egon Spengler and move into his rundown Oklahoma farmhouse after his passing, only to learn of his investigation into a new supernatural threat in the small town.
Mckenna Grace led the cast of Ghostbusters: Afterlife as Phoebe alongside Carrie Coon as Callie, Finn Wolfhard as Trevor, Paul Rudd, Logan Kim and Celeste O'Connor. The film did see the returns of franchise vets Bill Murray, Dan Ayrkroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts and Sigourney Weaver, as well as original producer Ivan Reitman, who handed the directing reins to his son, Jason. Ghostbusters: Afterlife debuted to mixed-to-positive reviews from critics and audiences alike and was a modest box office success, grossing over $204 million against its $75 million production budget and reaffirming Sony's confidence in the franchise's future.
