Sony has given the go-ahead to Ghostbusters 5, according to a statement.
Ghostbusters, directed by Ivan Reitman and starring Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson, launched the Ghostbusters series in 1984 with the release of the surprise mega-hit Ghostbusters. Toys, comics, and video games were all a part of the vast multi-media franchise established by the original film. When Paul Feig, who had previously worked on Saturday Night Live’s The League, decided to bring the series back in 2016, it seemed to be mainly inactive.
Is There any Release Date?
In a nutshell, it seems like the franchise is regaining momentum. The National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO) is hosting CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Nevada, right now. Sony CinemaCon’s panel revealed a slew of interesting details, but the most recent is the confirmation that production on a new Ghostbusters picture, as yet unnamed, will continue. There is a Ghostbusters 5 in the works, but no release date has been announced.
Will Be The Original Cast Members Returning?
While the prospect of a fifth Ghostbusters film is thrilling, Sony has yet to clarify whether any of the original cast members will be returning. The cast and crew, which includes Jason Reitman, the son of the original film’s director, are all the same. His producing work with HBO on Diablo Cody’s project is now in pre-production, but there are no confirmed directing projects in process, so he’s likely to hop on board as soon as the opportunity presents itself.
There are plenty of rumors floating around about the film’s potential despite the absence of concrete information. When Afterlife’s stinger sequence hinted at a possible ecto-interruption in Ghostbusters 5, this green light was granted fast, making Ghostbusters 5 more likely to be a straight follow-up. The original Ghostbusters are anticipated to join the youthful ensemble in a new adventure that might take the series back to New York City’s streets. For the time being, we don’t know anything about Ghostbusters 5.

Ghost Buster Afterlife Review
Although the picture did pretty well at the box office, it was unable to overcome the film’s large budget and the outrage from internet comments who were critical of the film. Ghostbusters: Afterlife, starring Finn Wolfhard and Mckenna Grace as Egon Spengler’s grandkids, is the latest in a long line of reboots for the Ghostbusters brand.
Due to its lower budget, the more Stranger Things-influenced adventure picture that also featured Carrie Coon and Paul Rudd earned $30 million less than its 2016 counterpart, but given the dismal pandemic period box office landscape, it was believed to be a far more certain success.

Summary Ghostbusters Season 5
Overall, it appears like the series is gaining momentum again. At the moment, the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO) is hosting the industry event CinemaCon in Las Vegas. It’s been a busy Sony CinemaCon presentation, but the most recent announcement is that they’re going forward with a new Ghostbusters feature, which is presently untitled. No release date has been set for Ghostbusters 5.
Sony has yet to clarify whether or not any of the original cast members will return for Ghostbusters 5. There are several similarities between Jason Reitman’s team and that of his father’s first film. A Diablo Cody movie for HBO has him in pre-production, but there are no publicly confirmed directing features in work, so he’ll likely hop on board as soon as possible.
The absence of information about the film as a whole allows us to hypothesize as to how this film will turn out. When Afterlife’s stinger sequence hinted at a possible ecto-interruption in Ghostbusters 5, this green light was given fast, making Ghostbusters 5 more likely to be a direct follow-up. It’s expected that the new Ghostbusters ensemble will reunite with the remaining original Ghostbusters for a new adventure, possibly set on the streets of New York City. For the time being, we don’t know anything about Ghostbusters 5.
