However, when the unearthing of an ancient artifact triggers a malevolent force, both the new and old Ghostbusters must unite to safeguard their home and prevent a second Ice Age from enveloping the world. The film is directed by Gil Kenan, who co-wrote it alongside Jason Reitman.

A New Era in Ghostbusters History

This movie will be a milestone in Ghostbusters history as it's the first installment without the involvement of the original director, Ivan Reitman, in any capacity. In Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Ivan served as a producer and co-screenwriter but unfortunately passed away in 2022 at the age of 75.

In April, Jason Reitman, Ivan's son, revealed that the film's setting would be in New York City during his appearance at CinemaCon 2023. Notably, Sony had previously announced the sequel to Afterlife in April 2022.
