In a few short days, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire hits theaters, continuing the story and franchise that began way back in 1984. At that time Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson just thought they were in a dumb, fun horror comedy, but in the decades that followed, Ghostbusters became more.
That culminated in the release of 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the first direct sequel to the original two Ghostbusters films, helmed by original director Ivan Reitman’s son, Jason. It was a film that polarized fans but made enough money for Sony Pictures to get rolling on another sequel, and that’s what’s coming next.
Frozen Empire picks up the story of Afterlife with characters new and old, battling a new threat in the team’s old stomping grounds: New York City. To prepare, the best thing would be to watch Ghostbusters: Afterlife, which is streaming on Fubo and available to rent in all the usual places.
