Sony has finally set a theatrical release date for the upcoming "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" sequel. On June 28, Deadline reported that the film will hit theaters in December 2023, roughly two years after its predecessor.
The outlet also noted that Sony previously teased the sequel in a sizzle reel at CinemaCon in April. It will be the fifth "Ghostbusters" movie in the overall 38-year-old franchise. Per the postcredits sequence from "Ghostbusters: Afterlife," the forthcoming film will return to the franchise's original New York City and firehouse settings.
In an October 2021 interview with Entertainment Weekly ahead of "Ghostbusters: Afterlife"'s Nov. 19 premiere, director Jason Reitman expressed his excitement for the future of the "Ghostbusters" series. "We wanted to make a movie that opened the universe to all kinds of stories," he said. "I want to see 'Ghostbusters' movies from all of my favorite directors, and we hope that this movie sets the table for that.
