    Ghostbusters: Night Shift Animated Series Will Answer Your Call 

    The team behind Ghostbusters: Afterlife is bringing us more paranormal laughs.

The Ghostbusters are officially pulling an all-nighter.

Ghostbusters: Night Shift, a series from Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation based on the beloved Ghostbusters franchise, will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2027. The new series marks the next chapter in the franchise’s ghoul-catching legacy, bringing supernatural comedy and paranormal action back to animation.

A warrior confronts a towering, fiery-headed monster with glowing eyes inside a large, dim industrial building, dramatic lighting and smoke filling the tense scene.

The scene: New York City, 1994. Five years after the Ghostbusters took the Statue of Liberty for a walk, a new wave of supernatural terror hits the Big Apple, forcing a group of scrappy, young New Yorkers — untrained, underappreciated, and kinda sorta responsible for the problem — to put on proton packs, face their fears, and bust some ghosts.

A group of costumed or monstrous figures walk down a city street at sunset with skyscrapers in the background, cars parked along the sides, and a dramatic orange sky creating a moody, post-apocalyptic atmosphere.

The series will be executive produced by Ben Hibon, Elliott Kalan, Jason Reitman, Gil Kenan, Amie Karp, and Dan Aykroyd. Reitman, son of Ivan Reitman, director of the original Ghostbusters features, and Kenan co-wrote the franchise’s most recent installments, Ghostbusters: Afterlife and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.

Before taking the lead on the franchise his father helped create, the younger Reitman garnered multiple Oscar nominations for the films Juno and Up in the Air. Kenan is also an Oscar nominee for his animated frightfest Monster House.

This isn’t the first time the Ghostbusters universe has gone animated. The 1980s and ’90s saw The Real Ghostbusters and Extreme Ghostbusters take over the small screen. For now, you can rest assured: If there’s something strange in your neighborhood, a Ghostbuster will be on the job — even if it’s after hours.

Ghostbusters: Night Shift will clock in sometime in 2027.
