Sony Pictures announced that the sequel to their 2021 Ghostbusters: Afterlife film is getting a sequel. The sequel has currently been locked in for December 20, 2023. This should come as no surprise as the 2021 film hit us with a post-credit scene that teases Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson), possibly leading the young Ghostbusters in the sequel.
Gil Kenan, Ghostbusters: Afterlife co-writer, told Gamespot:
“We have lots of ideas about how this story can develop. We are so excited by Trevor, Phoebe, Lucky, and Podcast. We feel like we really know their characters, and we’ve seen audiences start to fall in love with them. There are lots of surprising ways that the future and the past can grow together, side-by-side and separately. And we’ve had long conversations about how that can happen. But we’re totally excited by the fact that by the end of Ghostbusters: Afterlife, audiences are invested in a new set of characters as worthy companions to the pantheon of ghostbusting.“
No plot for the sequel has been revealed, but we know that we’ll see Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, & Paul Rudd back busting ghosts.
