Netflix is working on a Ghostbusters animated series.
Based on the Ghostbusters intellectual property, the project was conceived by Ghostbusters: Afterlife co-creators Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan (Ghost Corps) and Sony Pictures Animation. The animated series is part of the expanding Ghostbusters universe that began with Ivan Reitman’s Ghostbusters in 1984 and has since become a popular culture phenomenon, culminating in last year’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife.
