After being officially announced during CinemaCon earlier this year, Sony Pictures has now set a release date for the follow-up to Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
Deadline reports that the untitled sequel will hit theaters on December 20, 2023, and after moving the spooky adventures to a more rural setting for Afterlife, we'll be returning to the franchise's more familiar location of New York City.
Main cast members Carrie Coon (Callie Spengler) Finn Wolfhard (Trevor), Mckenna Grace (Phoebe), and Paul Rudd (Gary Grooberson) are expected to return, but it's not clear if Ghostbusters OGs Billy Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson will also reprise their roles - although the latter does seem like a fairly safe bet after the last movie's post-credits scene.
In the stinger, we saw Winston return to the team's old firehouse headquarters, where the refurbished ECTO-1 was waiting. Though nothing has been confirmed just yet, the implication was that Zeddemore was planning to train a new group of spook-hunters.
Jason Reitman will return to direct and will also co-write the script with Gil Kenan.
