Fifth film in the franchise

Ghostbusters: Ice Age is the fifth feature film in the Ghostbusters franchise, directed by Gil Kenan, and released three years after Ghostbusters: Legacy. It continues the story of the Spengler family and their connection to the original Ghostbusters.

Plot details and character roles

In this new installment, the Spengler family has moved from Oklahoma to New York, settling in the famous fire station, and teams up with the original Ghostbusters. However, the young Phoebe (Mckenna Grace) is excluded from ghost-hunting missions. When a mysterious artifact releases an ancient entity, the entire city risks falling into an eternal winter.

Future film in development

According to scoop reporter DanielRPK, a new Ghostbusters film is in development at Sony Pictures, under the working title Ghostbusters: Nightmare on 34th Street. It would be written by Josh Miller, the screenwriter of the films Sonic and Violent Night.

Unconfirmed details and director's comments

No details indicate whether it will be a traditional sequel or a standalone story from the previous films. Sony Pictures has not officially communicated about this at the moment. Gil Kenan, director of Ghostbusters: Ice Age, however, hinted that information about the future of the franchise would soon be revealed.

Actor updates and box office performance

Carrie Coon, who has portrayed Callie Spengler since Ghostbusters: Legacy, stated she had not been contacted by the team for some time, while hinting that Jason Reitman had had an idea a long time ago, though the schedules of everyone involved remained the main obstacle.

Franchise continues with new projects

The latest installment, released in 2024, earned 201 million dollars worldwide for an estimated budget of 100 million dollars, a result that was somewhat moderate. The franchise continues to inspire: Netflix will launch in 2027 an animated series called Ghostbusters: Night Shift, set in 1994 in New York, as well as an animated film entrusted to Kris Pearn.
