The Ghostbusters: Ecto Force TV show is aiming to debut in 2018, followed by the animated Ghostbusters film in 2019.
Moreover, as much nostalgia love as there is for the original 1984 Ghostbusters movie and its animated TV spinoff The Real Ghostbusters, Sony might have simply over-estimated the commercial viability of the Ghostbusters brand when it invested so much money into the reboot.
True to their word, Sony is still moving forward with the previously-announced new Ghostbusters animated TV series.
Ghostbusters (2016) was a critical success and was in general well-received by the moviegoing public, despite the widely-reported backlash that it faced ahead of its release.
