After the huge success of Ghostbusters: Afterlife last year, the first official details have been released on the next live-action film of the franchise with the Ghostbusters! During the annual Ghostbusters Day celebration, it was confirmed that the next film will be set in New York City and that its working title will be Firehouse. As director Jason Reitman revealed on social media: "The last time we saw the Ecto-1 we were returning to Manhattan: the home of the Ghostbusters. This is where our story begins. The code name is FIREHOUSE ”.
An animated series for Netflix was also announced on the occasion of the celebration day of the franchise.
Ghostbusters: unveiled the working title of the awaited new film
Although the plot details of the new Ghostbusters movie have not yet been revealed, it seems confirmed that all the main cast of Afterlife (in Italy released under the title Legacy) will make its entrance in New York City for this next otherworldly adventure. Although the last chapter took place in a rural setting, the film was chock full of references and homages to previous films, and will certainly continue once we return to the Big Apple. New York was previously also the setting for the much-criticized women's reboot of 2016.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife was directed by Reitman, from a script co-written with Gil Kenan. The film stars Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, and Paul Rudd, with appearances by original cast members Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, and Sigourney Weaver. The film turned out to be the latest work by franchise co-creator Ivan Reitman, before his death in February 2022.
