Originally announced two years ago, a brand new “Ghostbusters” animated series has been officially given the green light over at Netflix this week, Variety reports tonight.
The website notes in their report tonight, “In addition, Variety has learned that Elliott Kalan has boarded the project as writer, showrunner, and executive producer.”
Elliot Kalan served as the head writer for Netflix’s version of the classic series “Mystery Science Theater 3000,” and he was also formerly a writer for “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.”
“Exact plot details are still under wraps, but sources say the 3D animated series will be tonally in line with the recent Ghostbusters films,” Variety also previews.
Jason Reitman (Ghostbusters: Afterlife) will produce for Sony Pictures Animation.
The Ghostbusters franchise has of course made a mark on the world of animation in the past, with “The Real Ghostbusters” in the 1980s and “Extreme Ghostbusters” in the 1990s.
