Overview
- Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation formally announced an animated series titled Ghostbusters: Night Shift with a planned release window in 2027.
- The producers say the show is canonical and set in New York City in 1994 to fill the narrative gap between 1989’s Ghostbusters II and the Afterlife films.
- Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan serve as executive producers while Ben Hibon and Elliott Kalan are showrunners and Amie Karp and Dan Aykroyd are also credited as executive producers.
- Australian studio Flying Bark is handling the animation with a deliberately tactile, sculptural look and the series will feature kit‑bashed gear, a van in place of the ECTO‑1, and a small ‘terror‑puppy’ creature.
- Footage screened at the Annecy festival showed a Grand Central Terminal confrontation that mixed scares and humor and included an older character some reporters identified as resembling Jack Quaid though the producers did not confirm casting.
