Netflix Greenlights New ‘Ghostbusters’ Animated Series

Netflix has officially greenlit the Ghostbusters animated series it announced in development with Sony Pictures Animation in 2022, Variety reports based on its sources. Additionally, the project has brought on Elliott Kalan as writer, showrunner and executive producer, joining Jason Reitman and Gil Kenan of Ghost Corps, Inc.

This new Netflix kids & family series is the third fully-animated interpretation in the franchise, which spawned with Ivan Reitman’s hit 1984 feature film. The Real Ghostbusters, produced by Columbia Pictures Television and DIC, ran for seven seasons (170 episodes, plus 13 Slimer! shorts) from 1986 to 1991 and was nominated for a Daytime EMmy AWard for Outstanding Animated Program. The 1997 sequel, Extreme Ghostbusters, had Egon Spengler take on a new crew of college kids for 40 episodes.

The Ghostbusters universe continues to grow, with recent theatrical releases Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021) and the rebooted Ghostbusters (2016). Jason Reitman, son of the late Ivan Reitman wrote Afterlife and Frozen Empire with Kenan. Jason Reitman also directed Afterlife, and Kenan helmed Frozen Empire.

Kalan has shared four Primetime Emmy wins as part of the writing team for The Daily Show, which also earned him a WGA Award (he scored another for The Fake News with Ted Nelms). He served as head writer and exec producer on the Netflix reboot of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and cut his animation teeth on the FOX sitcom HouseBroken (co-EP, supervising producer & writer) and Harvey Girls Forever! (writer). Kalan is also known for writing the comics series Spider-Man and the X-Men and in podcast circles for co-hosting The Flop House.
