A New Animated Ghostbusters TV Show & Movie Are in the Works at Netflix
Netflix is developing two new animated Ghostbusters projects with Sony Pictures Animation: a feature film tentatively titled "Ecto" that will be told from a ghost's perspective, and a companion series set in the 1990s featuring a new generation of teen proton‑pack wielders. Both titles are still in development with no confirmed release dates, and the series will be overseen by Ben Hibon, known for his work on stylized animation. The film’s unconventional viewpoint and the series’ era‑specific setting aim to refresh the franchise for both longtime fans and younger viewers. These initiatives expand Netflix’s family‑spectacle slate while leveraging the enduring popularity of the Ghostbusters brand.
