We had recently learned that a new Ghostbusters animated series and also an animated movie were in the works, and today brings an update on the series project from Netflix.
The streamer has announced today that their upcoming Ghostbusters animated television series will premiere sometime in 2027. The series is UNTITLED at this time, however.
Netflix previews, “Hailing from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation, the high end animated series based on the beloved Ghostbusters IP will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2027.”
We’ve also learned that Dan Aykroyd has officially boarded the project as Executive Producer. The upcoming animated series will also be executive produced by Jason Reitman.
The full list of executive producers for Netflix’s Ghostbusters animated series includes Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Amie Karp, and Dan Aykroyd.
The future of the live action Ghostbusters franchise is uncertain in the wake of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, but these animated projects should keep the property alive and well.
Plot details for the Ghostbusters animated movie and series are under wraps. For the series, Elliott Kalan has boarded the project as writer, showrunner, and executive producer.
The Ghostbusters franchise has of course made a mark on the world of animation in the past, with “The Real Ghostbusters” in the 1980s and “Extreme Ghostbusters” in the 1990s.
