You may have missed this but yesterday, June 8th, is considered by fans of the series as Ghostbusters day, marked on that day as the original movie was released on this day in North America.

Jason Reitman, director of Ghostbusters: Afterlife and son of the original director Ivan Reitman, during a celebration marking the event, announced officially that a fourth (or fifth depending how you count!) is in the works.

The movie will be code named Firehouse, and who knows this could be the title eventually, after in infamous HQ of the Ghostbusters in the original movie, which can be seen being bought by Ernie Hudsons character Winston Zeddemore in Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

“The last time we saw Ecto-1, it was driving back into Manhattan: the home of Ghostbusters. That’s where our story begins. The code name is FIREHOUSE.” -@JasonReitman, @GilKenan #GhostbustersDay pic.twitter.com/P3QRild2Vs

— Ghostbusters (@Ghostbusters) June 9, 2022

At an event on Wednesday Reitman said he has just started working on a script with Gil Kenan, his co-writer on Afterlife.

Here are the highlights of the announcement

• The movie will be set on Manhatten Island, New York City
• It will feature the continued adventures of the Spangler family
• It will feature Winston Zeddemore (Ernie Hudson) in a bigger role

No word yet on any other returning characters but Dan Aykroyd praised Afterlife a lot so an appearance from him is likely and Bill Murray seems to have buried him Ghostbusters demons so thats also likely.

Sigourney Weaver appeared in a weird cameo in Afterlife so its likely she may return, and Annie Potts could do with wrapping her story up, and even a cameo from Rick Moranis would be a treat.

No word on release or production dates but no doubt were looking at something like June 2024 which would nicely tie in with the 40th anniversary of the original Ghostbusters.

Now where is that sequel to the 2016 Ghostbusters~2016 movie we are all waiting for!
